No. It means (if they oppose him in the general election) they will help her win, de facto

And a third repeat of talking point #11.

It is the responsibility of the party leaders to promote candidates who can hold the base together. Pushing a guy at the far left of the party is completely irresponsible given the history of the GOP losing when it drifts leftwards.

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"?

Nobody, certainly not "party leaders", is "pushing" Rudy Giuliani. Polls are taken and he typically comes out near the top. The problem is that every time this happens, a bunch of Freepers, seemingly afraid of him for some reason, demonize him and make idiotic threats to defect if he won the nomination. That is what is completely irresponsible.
