He is part of that bunch of the GOP that believe all failures recently, especially to win elections, is because the GOP hasn't been conservative enough. Since all the rational people in the GOP are on the run, the only candidates left are the ones that believe this crap, as well as the people voting for them. He actually believes that the more conservative he gets, the better his chance to win.
