You (and seemingly the other detractors) view Keyes' unwavering conservative positions, and refusal to capitulate on principle as a negative attribute, something that makes him "unelectable" "divisive" and therefore not a welcome, or electable, member of the GOP.

Keyes is entertaining, and he's a great orator, but he's not electable, because he "doesn't play well with others".

When Keyes was campaigning for president, he said many things, and most of them sounded really nice -- but all of us, if we were honest, knew that (1) he didn't stand a snowball's chance in Hell of being elected, and (2) even if he was, he stood an even smaller chance of getting his proposals through Congress.

Signifying nothing.
