He’d have never made it through the primary to the general. The TPers would not accept anyone not totally nuts.

But there were 6 candidates competing for the Tea Baggers, Birchers, and other extremists in the GOP. No one even tried to appeal to the leftish GOP voters. And true the extremists had the majority of the GOP but in 7 person race, 30% can win a primary.
