More or less. The ugly truth of the matter is that Rudy Giuliani was the most unqualified person to ever be taken seriously as a candidate for public office[1]. He rode handwavium panic[2] to a close win over Clinton[3]. Once he got into office, his popularity - never that high - went totally into the shitter as he fucked up everything he touched.
