The nuts

[On the political home front, the vice president spent a good deal of time and energy seeking to assuage elements of the Reagan coalition that he hoped would one day be elements of a Bush coalition. When Bush accepted an invitation to address the American Conservative Union, he told his staff he should do it, even though " the nuts will never be for me. We might as well recognize it.]

Question : What does the phrase" the nuts will never be for me" means? & What do they might as well recognize?

I guess Bush meant to call them nuts, crazy people, for their relatively extreme views. They will never support him politically, and that is what Bush's staff might as well realize.
