Rick Santorum is not happy about the rules for the first 2016 Republican primary debate, hosted by Fox News, which will limit the number of candidates onstage based on their standing in the polls.

(snip)

Santorum is expected to announce his plans for 2016 on May 27 during a speech in his hometown of Butler, Pennsylvania.

If it helps keep guys like Santorum and Huckabee out, I’m all for it. Ted Cruz or Walker, all the way.

Cause they might exclude you, Rick? If they do, good.

I voted for him last time but he should not be running again or enabling Bruce Jenner’s mental illness.

Good riddance! We should only focus on candidates that have a shot of getting the nod.

What if Cruz ends up polling as number 11? You are ok with it so long as it works in your favor?

I agree with Santorum. Many voters wait until the debates to learn about the candidates. There could be a worthy guy or gal that just doesn’t have a lot of name recognition, yet.

If you think that we have a bias towards conservatism here, then you are correct.

Fine, just let Bush walk to the front as Huckabee and Santorum interfere with the more conservative candidates, as they do every Presidential election.

If you can’t notice the same pattern of Huckabee and Santorum only staying long enough to keep the more conservative candidates out and then they mysteriously drop out, I don’t know what to say.

I think there is enough evidence, based on their behaviour, that they are really working for the GOPe, but what do I know?

What is there about Santorum that we need to learn beyond that he likes sweaters and bow ties?

Who did they keep out? What candidate of the past are you holding this grudge over?

Then crack the top ten. Getting contributions allows you to live the good life with Hotels and Restaurants. Once that's over you become one of us. Our cheap wine should not translate to your expensive whine.

Santorum did relatively well in 2012, winning 11 states. Gingrich won SC and Georgia and Romney won the rest. However, he did not keep up his organization in the last three years and really faces an uphill battle now.
