Except for the fact that in the primary, *only* registered republicans have the chance to vote for or against him. In the general election, he also has to contend with Dems (which will obviously vote for Hillary) and middle-of-the-roaders (which will break about 50-50). The Republican base will not support him in adequate numbers, because he just doesn’t represent them or their values.

Not true at all. There are plenty of people who vote in the general and never bother to vote in the primary. What the Republican establishment and many Freepers fail to understand is that there are enough social conservatives who will not, under any circumstances, vote for a pro-abortion candidate to tank Rudy. We Freepers can scream at each other all we want that “THAT MEANS HILLARY WINS IT!” but what many don’t realize is that Freepers are much more politically aware than the vast majority of voters and we understand, more than most, who Hillary is and how corrupt and dangerous she is. Most Freepers would crawl over cut glass to keep her out of office. But the average voter who determines elections may not like Mrs. Clinton, may find her mannish, distant, too liberal, but they do not realize and will not be told by the MSM where they get all their news, what an avowed Marxist and how dangerous to the Republic she is.

I homeschool and I live in the very important swing state of Florida. The majority of the people I deal with on a regular basis are social conservatives. There are plenty that dislike Mrs. Clinton immensely, but they will never go against their deeply held religious beliefs to keep her out of office. They believe they will answer for their votes at their judgment, and they will not, under any circumstances, vote for a pro-abort. Period.

That’s something the country club Republican establishment, which barely tolerates social conservatives at the best of times, fails to understand at its peril.
