If Rudy toes the conservative line, he’ll win in the General Election. If he goes Rockefeller Republican, he’ll lose.

The base has started scrutinizing him, and it ain’t good. His remarks about abortion or gun control(I can’t remember), last week, may well have sunk his campaign in the Red States.

If he has good campaign handlers, they can deflect and diminish the damage he caused, but I think he crippled his campaign.

“If he has good campaign handlers, they can deflect and diminish the damage he caused, but I think he crippled his campaign”

In other words, his “spin doctors” can LIE for him : )

The only advantage I saw with Rudy (except for the fact that he would have been no-nonsense on terrorism and therefore immigration) was that I think he, more than any other candidate, has the ability to siphon New York away from Hellary.

For that reason, I have long thought he would be a better VP option, with a strong conservative in the #1 slot.

Why do you insist upon ignoring his ENTIRE political career?! What he says NOW is meaningless when compared to his flaming liberal history as Mayor of NYC.
