I think Huckabee will have similar problems.

Ted Cruz seems to have sidelined Rick.

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).

he never had a core audience. he had 15 minutes of fame because in 2012 we flirted with every candidate because we desperately searched for someone to vote for instead of mittens.

this guy couldn't beat the mildly retarded son of a former governor to keep his senate seat.

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.

Santorum jumped the shark when he endorsed Boris Baddinof (Arlen Specter).

Is Rick Santorum losing his core audience?

Arlen Specter is dead.

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.

“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.

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!

Back when he was running in 2012, Santorum's campaign bought a NASCAR sponsorship in a race. In an interview before the race, he said he hoped the other drivers would "crash and burn."

I'm not much of a NASCAR fan, but what a disgusting thing to say. Certainly not presidential.

At this juncture, if Rick wants to stay in politics, he should go back to PA and win a House seat.

Remember this?

Santorum: Zimmerman ‘has a very sick mind,’ motive ‘a malicious one’

March 25, 2012

“Well, you know, obviously, I’m not privy to what’s going on in someone’s mind,” Santorum said. “Obviously, in my opinion, someone … has a very sick mind who would pursue someone like this. This is clearly a heinous act. You know, there are a lot of people who have a lot of distorted views of reality. It’s a tragic, tragic case.

And my heart goes out to the parents, too. I can’t imagine what they’re suffering, losing their son in such a horrific way. All I would say is that, whatever the motive is, it was a malicious one, and a very, very tragic one.”

Good grief, I hope so for both of them.

Go home, you both just raise money and run for president on the backs of people you take advantage of for their kindness.

Go home, and stay home.

Rick should stick to making movies that all of about dozens of people watch.

San tour’s a culture warrior, but big - guv economic New Dealer type. An extreme version of Huck, if you will. But how many culturally conservative voters do we have who lean to the left economically?

Given the choice, those voters will go with a Cruz type who supports all three legs of the Reagan stool.
