That’s a pretty lousy straight answer. In fact, Rudy and Hillary ARE the current front-runners. Of course, things may change. Insofar as Rudy is concerned, I can even join you in hoping that things WILL change...

Sorry my answer was lousy. You'll have to upgrade your previous post if you want a less lousy answer, lol

Seriously now, I firmly believe that things WILL change, because as more time goes by, more and more GOP voters will come to understand that as a presidential candidate, Rudy is an empty suit. He is a LIBERAL. He is a pro-abortionist. He plays fast and loose with the Constitution. He spends money like water. His security credentials are a mirage. He is a 'divider not a uniter' and his nomination would result in the GOP being splintered, perhaps permanently.

The fact is, things aren't so rosy for the 'Rats either. There is a growing ABC (Anybody But Clinton) sentiment, which is why Barack Hussein Obama is literally neck and neck with the junior Senator from New York, and the extreme left wing (the Moron.Org types, Code Pinko, etc.) is not at all happy with Hillary Clinton, so if she moves left, she loses any possible support from the middle. If she stays in the middle, the left will eviscerate her.

But, if the election is between Rudy and Hillary - WHO WOULD YOU VOTE FOR? A third party candidate? I consider that a wasted vote, and another vote that helps put Her Highness in office... can we at least agree that that’s the WORST CASE SCENARIO?

You can call it whatever you want, but I will never cast a vote for Rudy, nor for Hillary Clinton. They are both pro-abortion, gun-grabbing liberals and I will have nothing to do with either one of them. The respective Party organizations will be the ones responsible if their candidate(s) fail to win.

This whole 'you must vote for Rudy to keep Hillary out of the White House' is nothing but a more genteel translation of "Ja WOHL! You MUST vote for Chancellor Hitler, he is the ONLY one who can SAVE Germany!"

In times of crisis, it is a natural human tendency to want to vote for a 'strong leader' who will not only make the trains run on time, but who proclaims that he will be merciless against the enemy. But if that 'strong leader' has no moral scruples, no conscience, no principles beyond their own lust for power, then the cure will prove itself far worse than the disease.

For the GOP, Rudy is a disease. What is happening here on FR is the beginning of the cure.

Well spoken, sir!

Maybe we can get Brunhide Chthullo and JulieAnnie to swap wardrobes during the election season. If I wanted to see "gender illusionists", I would move back to Than Franthithco

I lived in NYC when Rudy Giuliani was mayor and I think you have made a very accurate assessment of his character. In fact, you have said it in a nutshell.
