Rudy drove libs crazy when he was mayor. Welfare was cut, taxes were cut, unions lost power, property values skyrocketed, crime was cut- These things didn’t happen because Rudy is one of them, but because he is one of us and he is far and away our best chance of winning.

I agree. I urgently want to see him “get it” on the Second Amendment (and I think he actually might make a lot of progress on that point), and I wish he wasn’t as comfortable with wealth redistribution programs and illegal aliens as he is, but I suspect he’ll turn out to be the best ELECTABLE candidate we’ve got. If people want to worship the unelectable ones for philosophical reasons, fine, but when it comes time to vote, the point is to elect the best possible candidate. Pouting about how none of the candidates meet your high standards doesn’t help anything.

Only if you're an abortionist, cross-dressing, gun grabbing liberal.

Is your post a sick joke or what? Surely, you're not that stoopid.

“Rudy drove libs crazy when he was mayor.”

My brother lived in NY before and during the Rudy years. He’s in awe of what Rudy accomplished.

Rudy is a doer, not an ideologue who does nothing themselves but whine and blame others and try to destroy Republicans.

The big thinkinkers’ effort to destroy Republican senators in 2006 gave us the mess in the senate now.

No one's denying the respectable job he did as Mayor and the outstanding job he did immediately after 9/11.

The simple fact is that running America is far different than running Gotham that badly needed Rudy's authoritarianism and aggressive crime control measures and happily tolerated his liberal social views and tabloid-trash personal life.

That's all Rudy is, a big-city Mayor.
