I lived in NYC while Giuliani was mayor and 9/11 is just a minor part of why I like the guy. To me, he’s the politician who drastically lowered the crime rate, stood firm against special interests and mobsters, reformed the welfare department, figured out how to clean the streets promptly after snowstorms, and did many other things that Democratic mayors said couldn’t be done. He made government responsive to the needs of the average working person. Period.
Look at how the Rudy campaign operates. Have you ever seen Rudy do much to attack the opposition to him? Answer? NO, and you won’t. Why? because he can’t. Why? Because all of them are more likeable to the base of this party and have conservative principles to toot up.
The idea of Rudy as the guy, is starting out of the box as the presumed opposition to Hillary. Rudy cannot risk a primary type race. Doing that puts him at risk because he is a liberal. He cannot argue conservative principle with a liberal past without showing people he is a liberal.
He can’t get this nomination unless the dumb, MSM buy in, “think they are conservative” crowd, cowers to the fear of Hillary, which is all Rudy has got.
If true conservatives stick to their guns, attack him on his liberal record,and demand he prove his “place” as a conservative by his record, they can defeat him as a fox in the henhouse.
Rudy and Hillary can be beaten. Liberals have nothing to stand on.
Oh, by the way, Rudy was Mayor of NYC on 9-11, that is surely a good reason to vote for him, or is it, really?
IYO.
You guys are just all out of sorts because everyone's pet candidate never seems to get off the damn dime when it comes to actually criticizing HILLARY, and that is the name of the game. I work with the GOP here in OH and people are STARVING for a candidate who will fight, not attack other republicans.
