Why are you worried about Rudy? So far, all he has done is nothing except to slide down in the polls.
I’m not worried about Rudy.
I was trying to make the point that when the elites acted as if he was a viable candidate for the Republican Party it was such an insult that the base turned away in revulsion and the elites burned some bridges. The elites went too far, they insulted the based. The base felt like suckers.
