Oh for sure. If he was able to wrangle in the various factions there right now it would all but assure him the nomination when he does run. If he can't then it would likely sink any bid ahead of time. I am not sure what I would do if I were in his position.

 

It is a huge shame, IMO, that someone with aspirations like running for president has to actually consider turning down such a powerful position because of how it might effect a future run.
