‘Once his foolish supporters made the completely unvetted, untested, unexamined Santorum surge in February after his candidacy had been going nowhere fast, many of us knew the nomination had been handed to Mitt.”
This only happened after Gingrich lost in Florida. Gingrich had already proven then that he could not defeat Romney. Gingrich had to win in Florida and he wasn’t even competitive.
“They started the vote-splitting”
What state did Santorum cost Newt?
“Santorum’s candidacy was nothing but hot air”
And he carried 11 states. How many states did Newt carry again?
“endorsements from religious leaders”
So what’s wrong with that?
“their sycophantic followers who can’t think for themselves.
“
So we are bitter clingers? Sounds to me like something Obama would say.
“There was little to no intrinsic appeal to his candidacy”
Which is why he kept winning red states despite getting outspent by Romney? Santorum had the grassroots support across the country.
“There is one group of people to blame for losing this primary and those are the Santorum supporters who jumped to him out of nowhere”
No, the only ones responsible are the Gingrich supporters who handed Romney Ohio and Michigan, along with Alaska and Wyoming.
Thanks for that by the way. When Obama gets re-elected, we’ll have you to thank for it. Appreciated.
The only surprise of this campaign has been the Santorum surge though it was too little, too late to compete effectively with the Romney machine. Gingrich’s performance was entirely predictable in November 2011. So was Perry’s unraveling predictable.
