No, he didn't.

Yes - he did. Iowa had a deadline; Keyes didn’t get in before the deadline — thus he was too late to legally be included on the ballot.

Now who’s disconnected from principle? Conservatism isn’t about individuals being above the rules, and/or expecting exceptions to be made, or rules changed, for you when you voluntarily choose to ignore the rules. Keyes, a supposed law-and-order candidate, should know better than to ignore the rules and expect an exception to be made in his case.

Keyes should’ve declared before the Iowa entry deadline ... he failed to do so, so he wasn’t included. The rules were followed - I see no problem.

There were other so-called candidates who were not on the "ballot". There was no official ballot. People wrote their choices on a piece of paper. If anyone wanted to vote for Keyes, all they had to do is write down his name.

I helped count the ballots in our precinct and Keyes had no votes.
