Some of his tweets suggest that he’s not a fan of reckless spending:

That he’s cool with the free market:

And that he’s in favor of gun rights:

Evidently, that’s enough for some conservatives, who are hoping to parlay his possible political sympathies into an appearance at March’s Conservative Political Action Conference:
