Excellent advice, although I'm not sure he'll like how it might work out.
The GOPe doesn’t really pick candidates - registered Repubs do. We need lots of RINO’s to run (and split their support) against one real conservative - Hopefully Cruz.
Candidates like Huckabee, Santorum et. al. need to stay home.
I want a social conservative but the focus of the campaign has to be on the economy, illegal immigration, ACA, the deficit and foreign policy.
