Dr. Keyes shot his bolt electorally by going to Illinois. The Illinois GOP shot themselves twice over - first by ditching Jack Ryan in a particularly messy way, next, by getting an out of state candidate. This is not just ending one's political career, it's pouring concrete over the tomb.
Dr. Keyes can make a contribution, but it is not through running for office - he was at his best when he was doing his radio programme.

Keyes is a preacher not a politican. And some of his supporters are wannabe preachers. They have little understanding of politics.
