GOP Strong Angry Daddy Figure will defend his beau ideal to the last. Per the Washington Post:
… Giuliani, who has regularly appeared on the Sunday political-show circuit as one of Trump’s top surrogates, insisted Sunday on CNN that it is the Democrats who overwhelmingly engage in voter fraud because they “control the inner cities.”
“We do cheat,” Giuliani told “State of the Union” host Jake Tapper. “We have people who cheat in elections!”
“I’ve found very few situations where Republicans cheat,” Giuliani said, shrugging. “They don’t control the inner cities the way Democrats do. Maybe if Republicans controlled the inner cities, they’d do as much cheating as Democrats.”
“I think there are a lot of elections experts that would have very, very strong disagreements with you,” Tapper responded, shaking his head…
He won two elections in New York City! https://t.co/Da3a1yIEVU

He won two elections, running in a high-crime era as the Tough Sheriff who would put those people in their place (the inner city). But New Yorkers got Rudy’s number, just as they got Deadbeat ‘Developer’ Donnie Trump’s. If it hadn’t been for 9/11 — which Giuliani tried to use as an excuse for extending his last term — he’d be eking out a modest living on the rubber-chicken circuit. The Media Village Idiots’ romanticization of “America’s Mayor” greatly increased his marketability… just not always among those who knew first hand how badly he’d botched both the security preparations and the response.
How did Giuliani go from America's Mayor to a bug-eyed Trump surrogate? @paulschwartzman and I investigate. https://t.co/xsDozu1cyv pic.twitter.com/b5dtGatDaX

As with everyone whose reputation ends up Trump-crumpled, Rudy was never a good person.
… Eight years after his own presidential bid failed, Giuliani has emerged as Donald Trump’s unflinching chief apologist, cheerleader and rhetorical Rottweiler, even as GOP leaders far and wide abandon their party’s candidate.
