Mrs. Clinton would defeat both Mr. Pataki and Mr. Giuliani in head-to-head contests.

She would.
God forbid either of those men is nominated by the check-pants set.
Without grass-roots support, i.e.: a conservative candidate to rally behind, the Republican party is toast.

"Without grass-roots support, i.e.: a conservative candidate to rally behind, the Republican party is toast."

Words worth repeating.

If the Beltway elite sells out conservative voters for an open-border, gun-grabbing, pro-abortion RINO (including Giuliani, McCain, or Pataki), Hillary will be the next president of the United States.

The only way to defeat an unprincipled, unethical opportunist like Hillary is to nominate a principled candidate with strong morals. Nominating an unprincipled opportunist (McCain) or somebody with bad personal morals (Giuliani) isn't going to cut it.
