No way. He's a high school graduate -- don't think he even has a college degree -- from a rural river town in Missouri. No way do guys like him get to play, he didn't go to an Ivy or an elite liberal-arts college; and neither did he do the Bob Dole "gentle, long rise" through the ranks as a Rotarian "country Republican".
Nah, he is strictly a one-man band. He's got cred with conservative Republicans dating to the 1994 blowout, but I'll wager my last dollar your average snotnose RiNO legacy-graduate of Yale or Dartmouth has no use for him.
It has nothing to do with who he is by birth or education. It is due to who owns him. He likes the money, and the flow of money stops the day he bucks them.
