    The first is to use the field as a whole to inflict damage

    on itself similar to what happened to Mitt Romney in 2012. The variety of candidates is a positive here, and many of the

    lesser known can serve as a cudgel to move the more established candidates further to the right. In this scenario, we

    don’t want to marginalize the more extreme candidates, but make them more “Pied Piper” candidates who actually

    represent the mainstream of the Republican Party. Pied Piper candidates include, but aren’t limited to:

    • Ted Cruz

    • Donald Trump

    • Ben Carson
