The MSM is pushing Rudy hard--because if Rudy is nominated, you get a choice between two liberals, regardless of who the democrats nominate. That would be a dream election for the MSM--a liberal gets elected no matter what.

True, Rockefeller Republicans would love Rudy. But that guarantees that conservative Republicans are left out.

Mario Cuomo is about as socialist and 'big government' as you could POSSIBLY get. Rudy supported him!! I could never vote for a candidate that SUPPORTED MARIO CUOMO! Never.

Not would --- They DO love him. They are still around. They just don't call themselves that, and get upset when someone points out that that is what they are.

They haven't changed. They still bash conservatives as radical or ideologues or unappeasable. They’ll be pushing Rudy hard and telling anyone who will listen that only a liberal like him can beat Hillary.

I'd expect to see Mario or Andrew Cuomo in a Rudy administration.

Just add enough fuel to the two-party smokescreen to make sure that the people remain falsely divided, arguing, and pitted against themselves ("At least he's not a Democrat!"), and all goes well; because, after all, everyone knows, and the people in power know it especially, that when the people are divided against themselves, they are not united against government...

Rudy turned out to be right on that one, between Mario and Pataki, Rudy did pick the more conservative candidate.
