"well, look, i'm stitill leadig in thehe polls." [groovy y music] - he's w waiting untntil jajanuary 29thth in floridia to takake on all c comers. he'll l be, in effffect, ouout of the n news cycle.. willll he be ablble to raisese ? will he e have any m momentu? it's a h high risk s strategy camping g out in flolorida on a a night likike tonight. - like, ththis is [bleleep] cr. it misreadad the statete. it m misread thehe demographp. itit misread t the voter b beh. - thisis is the ststrategy ththat we selelected prpretty closese to day ono. so m maybe otherer people wowould get nenervous in a situauation like e this. - hehe presenteded as, like, a brililliant, youou know, counteririntuitive s strateg, bubut i think k what it rereals was a kikind of tacicit admissn that he e was not vevery appeg to voters in iowa. he was not very appepealing to voterers in new h hampshir. - the crucucial first t votes ofof campaign n '08 madede for solidid wins fofor senator r barack obaba and d former govovernor mike huckakabee. - you u got to givive mccan a lot ofof credit. mamanaged to g get a win in newew hampshirere. - let usus start in southth carolina.a. it was v very close,e, and d it wasn't t easy, but t john mccaiain has edged out t mike huckakabe. - the rerepublicans s are now tuturning their attetention to f florid. - - rudy giuliliani has s invested e everythingg in the statate of flororida. - he's h hoping a bibig win there nextxt tuesday can n put him riright back in thehe middle ofof this rac. - you are,e, looking a around the rest o of the partrty, an a aberration.n. can n we agree o on that poio? - - [laughs] i was an a aberrationn whenen i was mayayor of new . i'm used t to that. - is youour messagee going toto continue e to be, can n you affordrd it toto continue e to be, "t"take me as s i am"? - that's's the only y message i have. .

[indistincnct shoutingng] - whenenever i comome to florir, i feelel like i'm m at home. sometitimes, i seeee more peoe from n new york inin florida ththan i do inin new york.. - - i was stilill sort off arouound for thehe ride in the lasast couple o of day. it wasas so frustrtrating to watch t them burnrn through s so much mono. rudydy's people,e, they were burnrning money y like mad m . so mucuch good wilill. so many pepeople who wanteded him to susucce. - - here is the big g story toninight. johnhn mccain, t the big winir in t the state o of florida. he captutures the rerepublin presidenential nomininatio. - thisis, of coursrse, a a very diffificult night fofor rudy giuiuliani. he had b been hopingng that he w would be the victctor here inin florid. spent momore than $30 mimillion herere. - itit wasn't jujust a hard d t but lost c campaign. it wasas an embarrrrassmen. - he t thought he e was gonnae president. a lot of p people thought he was gonna be president. and he screwed it up. - i think that was a huge disappointment to him. having been so much a figure of attention, a fascination of media coverage, i don't t think he c could ber the ththought of l losing tha. ththat that sosomehow wass part o of his idenentity. - for a politician, you want to be relevant. you wawant people e to care what you t think. yoyou want to o be able to changnge people's's lives. you wawant to be a able to led and haveve millions s of amers fofollow you.. so t to not be r relevant anan, that is heheartbreakining. - i'm proud that we chose to statay positiveve and to runun a campaigign of id. in an era a of personanal atta, negativeve ads, and d cynical s, we ranan a campaigign thatat was uplififting. - giuliaiani was thehe frontrr fofor the repupublican nomomi, anand then peoeople starteted v. - - he investeted his hearat and d soul in ththis primary, and who coconducted hihimself with all t the qualitities of t the exceptitional amamerican leaeader he trurul. - - did rudy g giuliani did? - - barack obabama will bebee the 44thth presidentnt of thehe united ststates. - - he'd come e to the end of a a politicalal career, anand when youou're not gogone elected toto anything g anymo, what do you u do? - he was i in yeyet another r wilderness where he w wasn't quitite se whether r he was a politicician anymorere or whethther he wass a full-t-time businenessman. - i thinink giulianini, in wawashington t terms, was s no. - he misseses the actition and d he wants t to be a plal. - - the vice p president wasn't v very nice y yesterda. - hehe became momore unfettetd and unencucumbered. - gigiuliani tououched off a firerestorm when h he said earlier r this week,k, "i know ththis is a horriblele thing to o sa, but t i do not b believe that ththe presidenent loves amam" - - that is dedeplorable.. that i is wrong. yoyou can almomost say it is unpapatriotic. - fafar from bacacking dow, he's's actually y tripling d n with new r remarks. - giuliaiani defendeded ththe remark s saying, "it t has nothining toto do with r race." - and whatat rudy giululiani is d doing is citining the prpresident asas other. it is a a dog whistltle to cerertain peoplple in the p , and d to certainin types of f p, whether hehe wants to o claim that racisism or not.. - peoplele create inin groups and out t groups insnstinctive. itit takes notothing toto create ththat. rudy realized that. it's a dialectic, this kind of politics. it's not a cohesive strategy. it's a cohesive attitude. - - i think hihis combativive e became morore so. i think, i in some wayays, hehe just becacame anan even morere intense v vn of who h he was. - befofore obama c came alon, wewe didn't hahave any sucuccesl radical isislamic terrrrorist attack in n the uniteded stat. - i i didn't havave a lot of contact with him during those years, but i suspect he was pretty unfulfilled. the value of the national security card for rudy had d diminisheded rather dramaticically by ththat poin. you u ended up w with this republicican constitituency that shohould have b been much more e rudy-centrtric. but american voters evolved on a couple of big things. that g guy who wororks inin brown couounty, wiscocon, and has bebeen there for 2525 years in a factory making auto parts, his son has had three goddamn tours in iraq and gotten shot once, that guy's job has been off-shored, and he's been able to find a job working in a call center for ninene bucks an n hour with no o health insnsurance, and he's's pissed. - i mean, , i'm mad. i've beeeen mad. i'm onone of the a angry, yoyou know, vovoters thatat they've b been discusug fofor the lastst year. [indisistinct chatatter] - i i am officiaially runnin. for presidident of the uniteded states, and wewe are goingng to make our countrtry great agagain. [cheers s and applauause] - well, , donald trurump is mog likeke a storm f front through h the republblican primimaries and d caucuses.. heading g towards susuper tuesdy nenext week, trump p has more d delegats than h his rivals s combine. - donaldld trump's m march to the nomomination would d be hard to betet against n now. crowd: u usa! usa! - as trumpmp started to rack k up wins, i i think giululiani saw v ve in hisis being a v voice ofof support f for trump.. - trump p is clearlyly the bestst choice. he's t the best chchoice for new yoyork. he's t the best chchoice fofor the coununtry. and he's's the one who can bebeat hillaryry clinto. - trump became this black hole in which all political attention in the country was reposed. and the celebrity lizard brain of rudy kicked off, and he needed it. he thought, "this will put me back in the spotlight." [cheers and applause] - thanank you. thanank you, newew york... crowd: y yeah! for a a new yorkerer, for onc, on t the ticket:t: donald trt. - - remember, , this is onoe of t the great i ironies of f . he knew w trump was s a third-t, fofourth-tier, real eststate bull[b[bleep] art. he knew w it. he was i in new yorkrk. rudydy used to d deal with the actualal power in n new york momoney and d real estatate. he knew w what trumpmp was.

"i had my day in the sun and i had my place in the arena." - what i did for new york,k, dodonald trumpmp will d do for amererica! [cheerers and applplause]
