So many of these guys are stuck in the past and grow more irrelevant by the day. I believe what drives them the most is the fact that they are so bitter from not accomplishing anything else themselves, that they have to shit all over anyone (DEM) that is.

Imagine what Christie will sound like 15 years from now!

He will probably just keep getting louder and loonier until he pops his clogs.

So he thinks Hillary is a phony feminist and she's horrible to women. I wish the reporter would ask Giuliani why, if he's such a supporter of women, he's ok with supporting a man who raped a 13-year-old girl? F'cking Hypocrite. I can't stand Giuliani.

people in glass houses and all that! If he really wants to rake up the past: Rudy Giuliani’s Nasty Little Divorce and Why it’s Relevant to America’s Vote http://www.huffingtonpost.com/stacy-schneider/rudy-giulianis-nasty-litt_b_83571.html

From the link:

If you study the day-to-day press reports describing Rudy Giuliani’s divorce conduct, his personality problems (dare I say disorder?) emerge. Let’s review the evidence:

Rudy publicly humiliates his wife by announcing his divorce plans to the media, before privately informing her and their children. He then openly admitted having a romance with Judy Nathan, now his third wife, while he was still married.

Next the mayor’s attorney, famed celebrity divorce lawyer, Raoul Felder viciously attacked Donna Hanover with Rudy’s approval, publicly describing her as “howling like a stuck pig.”

Then there’s the mayor’s well-known pattern of vindictiveness. Rudy relentlessly focused on stripping his wife of her position as First Lady before the divorce was over. At one point the former mayor’s chief of staff called the Susan Korman Breast Cancer Foundation, one of the First lady’s favorite charities, and without informing her, cancelled her upcoming appearance as hostess of an annual foundation breakfast to be held at the Mayor’s Mansion.


I wouldn't be at all surprised to discover that the ex-Mrs. Giuliani is a HRC supporter.

He really shouldn't point fingers. I didn't know that about him...

No wonder he likes Trump so much. They have a lot in common.

I'm surprised that Giuliani has had three wives...how was he able to get even one?!

It seems the further Rudy is from actually being politically relevant, the more the douchy-ness expresses itself.

he had to win elections in NY, so his voter base was liberal and fairly sane. It "sort of" kept his blatant obnoxiousness in check.

It's been downhill for him from there, ever since. Best to ignore a man with that sort of disturbing history.

That's why, for the last few years, he's been an even more nasty prick than he was in the past. Whatever filter he had is gone.
