Why Goodhair can’t win the nomination.
He is a pure, unadulterated corporate shill candidate who cannot win across the board support from the most powerful elements of the corporate world. He is immensely popular with Big Oil, for obvious reasons, and with the retail/service sector because of his extreme views on unions and worker rights in general. He is also well-liked for his, uh, flexibility and accessibility in the public service contracting industries (prisons, road construction, etc.) He does not have Romney’s (Wall) street cred with the financial sector, the military industrial complex, or the media/entertainment sector, however. The forces who support him are exceptionally dominant in Texas, not so much elsewhere.
