Here are a few of the things I would stop using the power of the purse...
Militarizing three letter agencies
Can we just cut to the chase here?
Also, I wish Massie had more charisma. He's got some great ideas, and I like him on a ton of things, but he's one of those politicians with negative charisma, often. He's great on ideas, but he's not a leader, and no one else really seems to want to step up and run with him. Hopefully that changes. I'd say the Republican party is moving in a positive direction - at least parts of it are - so here's hoping some of the new people get their act together and go wild.
He seems like a good guy but you're right. He needs to be the ideas/policy guy who works behind the scenes, while the charismatic people get all the attention required to actually put his ideas into practice.
Smart Republicans is a pipe dream, sadly.
