I am sick to death of people trashing Rudy. I live in NYC. What he did in NYC after Dinkins is nothing short pf a miracle and Bloomberg carried forward what Rudy did.
Rudy would have been a far better potus than McCain or GWB
So would've you or I. Not a real high bar there, FRiend! LOL
We are not talking what will work in NY we are talking a presidential race and meeting the needs of the base and as good a fit Rudy was for NY he does nothing for the Heartland or the Bible belt that know nothing of him other a few good patriotic speeches during the Iraq war.
Those war feelings will very quickly vanish once his background and positions are known while he might be a conservative on defense he is no conservative.
Historically a Northern Republican fails to win for the Republicans...they are too liberal as a whole for the base and thus are not trusted no matter who they are.
Step back and really look at what could and actually win and get the base excited....not an other rino even one who gives wonderful patriotic speeches. My comments were not a Rudy put down but a total look at the party and its people and what wins...and we have plenty of history to look at just dry facts not the emotions of whether the man was good for your state or not (which I agree with you Rudy was good for NY which means a loser in the non North Eastern states...just the facts).
