Political leanings never make it out of the box if you cannot get elected.

True, but if you really are a conservative, which I have my doubts right about now, you'll never get a conservative elected unless you are willing to fight for that conservative and not put out false requirements that previous executive experience or relying on what's popular instead of adherence to conservative policy positions, fidelity to conservatism, and the ability to communicate those policy positions to the voters.

You sound like a GOP-E political consultant.
