So how does Santorum get destroyed in his own state in a Senate race and then go on to win the presidency? What are you smoking?
Santorum faced a political perfect storm. He faced the son of a very popular former governor who was running as a social conservative. The only thing he had to run on was his support of the war, which had become very unpopular. In a national election, Santorum would have little problem carrying Pennsylvania. That alone would probably be enough to win him the election.

Santorum couldn't win the nomination let alone get near the presidency.
Your theory is off the charts wishful thinking.
It is not 1980.
