Yes, but getting 25% - 30% of the Republican vote is a whole lot different than getting 51% of the general election vote. But that wasn't my point. I said Rudy is running against social conservatives. He's not interested in building coalitions with conservatives. He's interested in moving the party in a different election. Please explain how the very same person who is trying to run them out of the party is going to figure into any coalition with conservatives? Bush, Rudy and the Republican elite have made a decision to go to the left and try to attract as many Hispanic votes as they can. They believe they can do this because conservatives have nowhere else to go.
And when candidate Rudy gets his butt handed to him by Hillary, many here will want to blame the very same conservative Rudy ignored.
