Quote:I am about to expose a shocking ignorance of politics, but... Wasn't there some big scandal involving Giuliani recently? I'd expect a large effect from that coming out while he was in the Oval Office.
Rudy Giuliani's pretty much a walking scandal. The main reason anybody every took him seriously as a politician outside NYC was because 9/11 made him ~*~*~AMERICA'S MAYOR~*~*~ and he capitalized on it. I only made him President because in the distant year of 2007 everybody and his dog was pimping Giuliani as the shoo-in for the GOP nomination and I thought it might be funny/scary to go there.
Quote:From META perspective it might be the easiest to give the Republicans another 4 years of "USA stays crazy" and start normalizing their behavior starting with 2017... which will most likely take time until 2020. ^^
The main problem with this is that Giuliani's term in office critically wounds the GOP in a lot of ways. They can rebel against the president, but then they look weak and divided going into the election. They can't honestly stand behind him because, well, he's Rudy Giuliani and once the ~*~*~AMERICA'S MAYOR~*~*~ thing goes away he's utterly unlikeable.
