Rudy Giuliani, leading in the nation polls of the Republican presidential candidate, has the greatest potential of all other Republican nominees to run against presumed Democratic presidential candidate Hilliary Clinton. But unlike typical Republicans, Giuliani supports abortion and gay rights. He was the mayor of New York City and, in the 1970s, was a Democrat and an Independent.
Some prominent social conservatives, including the religious right, have threatened to leave the Republican party and consider nominating a third-party nominee as its presidential candidate if the Republican party chooses a pro-abortion candidate (clearly pointing to Giuliani). These social conservatives feel betrayed by the Republican party; they do not truly support or prefer one Republican nominee over another, but Giuliani causes the most fear. Though, many view the potential problem with splitting off might benefit the Democratic party; it would cost millions more to finance another candidate and Republicans votes would be split. Even with all these discretions, these social conservatives would not affirm to voting for the "lesser of two evils."
