Well - I did not mean (or intend) to use Dick Morris’s talking points. Honest.
As to your claim that Rudy will split the Republican party.
Possibly.
I have said a number of times that such a split, if it occurs, might be needed and healthy - in the long term.
I would not object to seeing the GOP pendulum swing more toward the center - and away from a strict social conservative mantel. It might be healthy.
That’s politics - a system of constant realignment with the circumstances of the times.
Ok - I plead guilty of supporting Rudy.
Now - I will also support the final GOP nominee under all circumstances.
What you seem to be calling the "center" was not long ago the far left.
What we really need are some radical conservatives to balance the left-wing radicals out there who have so long bandied their insanity about that people think they are merely liberals.
Rudy loses. Guns, Gays, Abortion, and immigration, and not necessarily in that order. The first is a Constitutional Right (which shall not be infringed), the second is not, the third is murder, and the last is a Constitutional obligation to secure our borders from foreign invasion.
As for being tough on terrorists, he did what to stop them, exactly?
All he did was refuse a check from the Saudis when he pretty much could count on billions in aid coming in, so a measly ten million was no big thing.
Nope, with his historical attitudes toward gunowners, WE are the "terrorists" Rudy would be tough on, not some foreigner with a vial of anthrax or a car bomb.
Y'all keep him. He never ran for mayor in America, only New York City.
