You obviously know nothing about the 89 or 93 Mayoral races in New York City.
was he running against a conservative either time?
“You obviously know nothing about the 89 or 93 mayoral races in New York City”
Comparing the New York Mayoral election to a Republican primary shows how little you know. Republican primaries are dominated by conservatives. New York mayoral elections are dominated by liberals. The positions that will get a candidate elected in New York will render him “toast” in a Republican primary. The same strategy that would work for him in New York is not going to sell to the very conservative voters in a Republican primary. You can book it. I have been to three Republican conventions and know the kinds of people who are elected delegates, and they are not the kind that will support Rudy. Not ever.
BTW, I do know one thing about the 89 and 93 NYC mayoral elections. In ‘89, your guy Rudy was beaten by “General” David Dinkins, a real electoral powerhouse. LOL.
Fred Thompson, on the other hand, has never lost a political race and has crushed his opposition twice in U.S. Senate races in a democratic state by 22 points each time.
