“Rudy would pick up a large number of the so-called independents and Reagan Democrats who do NOT like our social positions, but do not trust the Dems on the WoT.”

I really think some people misclassified the Reagan Dem’s and Ind’s that often vote Republican.

The Lion’s share of that group only reject the Dem candidates on the issues of Guns and Abortion. That is common knowledge in political circles that even the Dem strategists will admit.

Rudy will get damn few of those voters because he sides with the Rats on those issues.

Rudy isn’t going to pull many Libertarian votes being an authoritarian and a gun grabber.

That leaves the WOT which any of the top Republicans will be equal or better on.

Doesn’t sound like a winning plan to me.

Apparently you didn’t see our Ohio results in the last election. The solid conservatives got their clocks cleaned. And it was NOT because conservatives didn’t turn out, but because a lot of “middle” or “indies” voted the other way.
