If party leadership gets behind a candidate who do you think is going to be backed financially? Starving a rival for funds may not be forcing them out but it's close enough for government work.

This is exactly the same type of shit the DCCC pulled before. And what usually happens when the party big wigs decide to intervene for their chosen candidate and don't give the electorate an actual choice? Their hand picked candidate loses.

And what exactly does this have to do with the specious argument that those who always consider the party first make that the party has to cater to right wingers in order to win a district. They didn't even bother to give the party members a choice. Why leave it up to the voters anyway? They might actually chose someone who will stand up for them. Can't have that.
