What was Santorum’s message this week?
raising the minimum wage I think
Ted Cruz seems to have sidelined Rick.
Rick Santorum would make a great VP for Ted. He would be highly motivating to disaffected evangelical voters and he could help deliver Pennsylvania which is a very important electoral state.
Santorum had his chance in 2012 and put in a decent showing. He should avoid the embarassment and follow Romney’s lead not to run this time around. He isn’t going anywhere and it’s very foolish of him not to be able to see the difference between his role in 2012 (some) and his upcoming role in 2016 (none).
this guy couldn't beat the mildly retarded son of a former governor to keep his senate seat.
Santorum is a nobody.
As far as winning Pennsylvania, that is the state that kicked him out of his Senate seat by a HUMILIATING 17.4% defeat, and in the 2012 primary, “”Rick Santorum suspended his campaign in April after polls showed a strong possibility that he would lose his home state of Pennsylvania to Mitt Romney””.
Ted is already motivating evangelicals, the last thing he needs is a running mate out there talking about raising the minimum wage and stuff
Santorum lost by over 700,000 votes the last time he ran for the senate in PA.
Seems he had a lot of early success but that was it. I hope his supporters will turn their support to Cruz.
What, his mother and her friend bailed on him?
Santorum is a big government fiscal liberal and a social conservative. We have much better candidates this time.
Santorum jumped the shark when he endorsed Boris Baddinof (Arlen Specter).
Arlen Specter is dead.
definitely
In the last election Santorum started losing badly when he referred to Romney as a “vulture” capitalist. That attitude is completely anti-conservative.
As said above he’s a social conservative, fiscal socialist.
Not at all a Reagan Republican.
Dear God!
Just...bleghck.
“Is Rick Santorum losing his core audience”
I doubt that he has one...
I agree. I don’t see Huckabee getting anywhere, if he does decide to run. Guys like Huck and Santorum need to understand it’s not 2008 or 2012 anymore. We have the best field of conservative candidates I’ve seen in my lifetime, and it’s going to be one of those young guns that gets the nomination in the end.
Well said!
Santorum’s 15-minutes is well past expired. Love the wishful conclusion from 2012: “Santorum seemed to have cemented a place as a serious contender in national GOP politics”. What a joke!
