"If Rudy Giuliani were running for the DEMOCRATIC nomination for President, would you cross party lines and vote for him?"
It all depends on WHO would be running against him.

OK, I'll play. Let's say (hypothetically) that is was someone like Mitt Romney. Do you vote for the 'Rat nominee (Rudy) or do you go with Romney?

And election is NOT between some imaginary people vs. real ones, it's between TWO (READ AGAIN: TWO) candidates and you MUST choose between them, or you are voting for the worst one.

That is nothing but absolutism. If both candidates equally stink, your vote is still going to bring you the aroma of dead fish on the morning after Election Day.

So again: you have the choice Hillary vs. Rudy. Are you going to be a "conservative for Hillary" or get out and vote for the Republican candidate, who, at the moment appears to very likely be Rudy.

Don't count your Rudys before they hatch (or at least until they make it through the primaries intact. I'd lay even odds that as the media puts a brighter and brighter spotlight on Rudy, he may decide that it's not worth that kind prying into his personal history, and just like he did in 2000, he'll withdraw from the race in question.

Hillary is likewise, not automatically assured of the 'Rat nomination. It's too easy to forget that it is over a year before the primary process will be completed, and the respective nominating conventions of each major party convened, and THAT is a political eternity.

A LOT can happen between now and then.
