David Brat and Donald Trump never had a chance either! Remember that? As a matter of fact, when Brat won, everybody and I mean everybody outside of his Congressional District instantly said “Who?” He beat the sitting House Republican Leader.
Carlos can use the David Brat model and win this thing just as big as Brat did with very little money.
Beruff sat on several committees that regulated finance budgets for certain groups. In every situation he dramatically reduced their budgets which had been grossly squandered. He's a really smart guy.
Problem is its so hard to start from nowhere politically and go near the top unless you have all the cards stacked in your favor and that unfortunately, usually, only happens to the wrong people.
