I dunno. Maybe it’s weakness on my part, but a Hillary presidency, and it’s long-term implications on the type of country the United States could become under her thumb, scares me too much to stay home or vote third party.

If it comes to Hitlery or Rudy then there will be a socialist in the White House regardless of whether there is a an R or D after their names. The GOP has been so fixated on appeasing the socialist Democrats over the years for the sake of compromise that it has abandon it's core conservative principles for socialism and thereby aligned itself with the socialists. They are essentially one party. An alternative party would be the second party.

Rudy is wrong on abortion but Rudy is no socialist.

You seem to overlook what you yourself just said. The very fact that Hillary is a D and Rudy is a R means they must rely on different factions to support their own specific agendas. Rudy can't tick off social conservatives too much because he'll need their votes for his own proposals (whatever they may be). Hillary will essentially be able to do anything she wants with full support from a Democratic House and Senate.
