1. He is an African-American
I seriously doubt the racists in the Republican party are going to support a "black" man even if from his own party

2.He is an extremist nutcase
He might garner support from the frothing-at-the-mouth pukes but he won't get enough support in the party to be nominated, let alone elected in the general.

As I have posted before, those "candidates" that have no change do this for attention and their pocket books. They worship money. If they think by running they can get some media attention that may bode well for book deals and speaking engagements. It is all about the money.

Reince Prius (pun intended) wants to keep these clowns out of the process but I think it is going to be very, very tough...
