What, pray tell, is "the base", exactly? And why is it so hard to "hold together"? And if it is, then in what sense is it a "base"?

As in being center right and giving everyone in the party something to vote for. Bush II at least was pro-life and not a gun-grabber.

Nobody, certainly not "party leaders", is "pushing" Rudy Giuliani.

Gee, I couldn't tell from the posts on FR about the various elected Republicans supporting Rudy.

So "the base" = "the center-right"? Why would the center-right be so hard to "hold together" in the face of possibly losing to Hillary?

I'm not sure who you're talking about, exactly, but just so I understand, if some elected Republican out there comes out in favor of Rudy Giuliani, that's "pushing Rudy"? Ohhh-kay.

Are elected Republicans entitled to have opinions and voice them?
