After Trumps antics today he is toast. He may do well in NH but the rest of the country will turn against him. Trump has destroyed his base support.

Not sure what your rant has anything to do with this thread but thanks. Might wanna do something about that Trump obsession.

Maybe little Marco promised him he would start regularly going to Mass. Santorum is a devout Catholic, Rubio is not. I’ve heard him say in interviews he goes to Mass one week and the next week goes to his wife’s protestant service, without attending Mass. Little Marco you can’t pick and choose when you want to attend Mass.

I got a little excited about Trump because he was saying things that should be said. But I’m not sure he’s serious about winning.

Plus, he’s got billions but that’s chickenfeed to what our country’s enemies have. Ross Perot had billions, too. But billions couldn’t get him the election.

It’s always amazed me how the billionaires can say such stupid things. How’d they get that rich and be so stupid?

Like a beaten spouse, Rick keep crawling back to the establishment hoping for their approval.

“He just endorsed the biggest amnesty pusher in the election.”

Has he learned his lesson from that? That is the question. I wish that Santorum would have waited until after Saturday night. That debate is going to be a test for Rubio.......EVERYONE will be going after him and it will be interesting to see how he does. It is going to be brutal for him and if he does well......holy cow.

This process is sorting out the RINOs from the rest. How Santorum can endorse an amnesty supporter and a Gang of 8 leader who wanted to triple legal immigration to 33 million over the next decade given Sanatorums alledged positions on immigration demonstrate how little principle he has.

Santorum has demonstrated why he just another political hack with a huge ego. Trump has made them all drop their veils and expose who they really are.

“he thinks Rubio will win and he wants a job.”
At the core that’s right.

But Rubio is a good ‘social conservative’ candidate (as is Cruz), however nothing will ever come of it. He wouldn’t be able to advance any issue or alleviate any of the damage done.

Agreed. And yet I’m willing to bet that was part of Santorum’s calculation. Cruz might be too evangelical for him.

“The GOPe is turning the screws and pressuring everyone to get out to help their hand picked candidate while they have this brief opportunity.”

Well since he has endorsed Arlen Spector before, this isn’t a surprise.

I guess Red Bull Rubio now has the money to pay off all of the campaign debts of the other idiots.
