It was during that 2-years of concealment that he and the elite Republicans sought to sneak him in as the GOP Presidential candidate!

I remember him tried to run as a GOP presidential candidate. Didn't like him then, like him much much less now.

However, this ‘episode’ simply confirms GOP couldn't be trusted, talks about reform, re-brand GOP image will not work. Don't know how many realize that.
