Only a Real Conservative Can Stop Hillary
April 28, 2007
Former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore, speaking with NewsMax just prior to announcing his candidacy for the Republican nomination for president, warns that none of the current field of GOP candidates could beat Hillary Clinton in the general election.
“Someone is going to have to draw the entire party together and I don’t believe that the three candidates who are widely discussed right now can do that, and, as a result, Hillary Clinton will win…” says Gilmore.
“The rank-in-file Republicans who join the party in order to further the interest of the American people through conservative values will simply not participate — and there’s really no reason for them to — and then at that point she will win, and that is something that I would like to avoid…” ominously concludes the former chairman of the Republican National Committee.
Of course, the three GOP frontrunners Gilmore alludes to are former New York City mayor Ruddy Giuliani, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, and Senator John McCain, R-Ariz. – all three of whom, unlike Gilmore, register in the double digits in the polls, have national name recognition, and pots of money.
None of this deters Gilmore, who is banking that in the long run, his pure and unwavering brand of conservatism will doggedly outstrip the hype of the rock star candidates from his own party.
