Trump = Giuliani?
I don’t know. Giuliani did hold elected office and did spend a lot of his career going after criminals.
I mean, I see you’re point. They are very similar on social issues.
But I think for all Trump’s “business expertise” that Giuliani is more of a true free market booster than Trump.
Giuliani did campaign against government spending and deficits.
Trump doesn’t say a word about that stuff other than his desire to make the Chinese and Arabs “pay their fair share”.
So I don’t know. On the question of “who is more conservative”, although the true answer is “neither”, I think Giuliani wins the “more”.
I think Giuliani has more conviction than Trump; Trump’s “conservatism” is shallow. My comment was more focused though on that the 2007 polls had Rudy the favorite (as well as Hillary!, on the ‘rat side)... and look where that led. Trump is fulfilling a need to make the NBC issue viable; he is getting more than 15 minutes of fame, and I hope his fading away will time well, segueing into more conservative candidates.
