I like Rudy a lot but I fear too many Republicans are putting all their eggs in this basket too soon.
"If he's chosen as the Republican candidate, his opponent has already won."
You can tell yourself that if you like, but the fact is that national polls show Giuliani leading Hillary. And Giuliani is much more likeable than Hillary, so he will benefit from the debates. He's a former prosecutor and is good at speaking on his feet.
If he's chosen as the Republican candidate, his opponent has already won.
What if Hunter was his veep?
Wow, I knew he'd have his people lined up before committing.
To the social Conservatives, it doesn't matter who wins this election. They're all the same. The liberal press has made sure of it. All the "media chosen" candidates are socially liberal.
Never.
Yep.
Giuliani said he believes global warming is occurring but is not sure how much is caused by humans, and suggested the U.S. should look at expanding its use of nuclear power and other alternative energy sources.
They will never vote for him even if Hunter was his VP pick. It's not on their agenda.

Social conservatives rarely contribute to polls. They're a very private, church and family oriented people.
---"You can tell yourself that if you like, but the fact is that national polls show Giuliani leading Hillary.......And Giuliani is much more likeable than Hillary, so he will benefit from the debates."---
Likeable? Huh? I though his selling point was that he was a "fork in your eye" NY brass-knuckles name-caller?
Now he's warm and fuzzy?
No poll has a Third Party considered yet, and most polls have the election rather close when one considers Hitlery is despised by her own party right now - and that Rudy Giuliani has not yet had to face any fire on the Presidential campaign.
You keep telling yourself that nothing in his past will bother moderates, and that none of his issues will cost him votes with Conservatives, and that the Independents are in a GOP-like war mood begging for four more years of GOP Presidency and war.
By the time the press gets done with him, he'll lose big time. Because as those Independents peel off, he won't be picking-up any more Conservatives.
He's right. He still acknowledges, that the question is how much, or how significant it is. By 2060, the total energy change is only ~0.35%, so it's small and insignificant. That's what folks have to learn.
Check my post #30. He's not sure how much is caused by humans.
Come on people! Vote your guy in the primary and then get on board. Congress still has power you know!
ROFLOL
Way to spin it.
But the truth is that he first brings up that there's a question about how much is human caused - "carbon in particular" he said - and how much is natural and then he answers his own question about that by stating that the "overwhelming" majority of scientists say it is human caused.
I watched the video numerous times as I was compiling the transcript. I know what I saw and heard.
