Given that, the purpose of his comment may have been merely to stir the pot on the Republican side. He may have infighting and competition for campaign dollars in mind. He certainly doesn't have in mind encouraging the Republicans to nominate their best candidate in terms of winning the election.

We also have to keep in mind that every once in a blue moon, Beckel screws up and lets the truth slip out. Remember that Beckel was the genius who managed Walter Mondale's 1984 presidential campaign, one of the biggest disasters in American electoral history. He ain't the brightest bulb in the fixture...
"He certainly doesn't have in mind encouraging the Republicans to nominate their best candidate in terms of winning the election."
Precisely.
When conservatives are starting to take their cue from Bob Beckel, they are in deep trouble. One would think they would know better.
