Colbert doesn't have to get past the primaries, as he'll likely run as an independent. There is no way he can run as a Republican candidate. He doesn't have the capital, and isn't a Republican. I do believe that Colbert himself has stated on his show that he is registered as an independent, just like Papa Bear O'Reilly (and come on, no political party, no matter how far right wing, could contain the conservative leanings of Stephen Colbert) so no worries of a Republican nomination for him.
