When Trump Met Ms. Rudy Giuliani

Thank you, Jim Geraghty, for reminding us of this dose of nightmare fuel.

Geraghty’s point is that Rudy led the GOP field for most of 2007, despite his pro-choice record and a bunch of other fundamental problems with Republican voters. Rudy had a stronger GOP field to contend with, but he also had a folk hero status, for independents and for Republicans, that Trump doesn’t quite have.
