"running in a primary with a bunch of weak other candidates" ^ I think your political bias is showing through. In my opinion this is one of the strongest sets of candidates for the Republican primary in a long time. And I am far from alone in that assessment. Yes there are some weak candidates (there are always weak candidates in both parties), but it is far from "a bunch".
