Not that he’ll win or even break 10 percent. But the more true conservatives (and less RINO’s and libs) that run - the better.
But he can split some social conservatives away from a far better and more qualified overall candidate, such as a Ted Cruz, so yet another RINO loser is nominated instead. Stay, Ben, Stay. Please.
No, too many conservatives splitting the vote in the primary, including those without a realistic shot to win, is just what the GOPe counts on.
If there aren’t enough conservative vanity runs, the GOPe egg a few more on, just to make sure the Establishment vote can come away with a plurality win.
