Trump Takes Hatchet to Santorum

Donald Trump demonstrated Monday that he has no qualms about going after one of Mitt Romney’s chief rivals, Rick Santorum.

“There’s nothing — there’s no gift, no Christmas gift, that could be given better than Rick Santorum to the Democrats,” Trump said in a radio interview which aired in Michigan. Democrats, he continued, “are just salivating at that. And, you know, I don’t think they believe it’s going to happen. But boy, would they like it to happen because that would be an easy election.”

"“There’s nothing — there’s no gift, no Christmas gift, that could be given better than Rick Santorum to the Democrats,” "

I agree with Trump 100% on that statement.

I also believe that as folks see what a dunce Santorum is over the next couple of weeks he'll drop 20 points in the polls.

He'll keep his base of 20% of the GOP electorate.

Trump — the casino king, wife dumper, and general sleazoid — doesn’t like social conservatives.

Trump doing the dirty work for Mittens. If Romney is elected he better payback Trump because his election will be saved by him. Trump for VP?

“There’s nothing — there’s no gift, no Christmas gift, that could be given better than Rick Santorum to the Democrats,”

Excepting, of course, Myth Romney and Donald Trump.

I forget. How many elections has Trump won?

[sickoflibs]

Remember when Trump said in an interview that his investigators in Hawaii had unearthed some astounding information about Obama’s past and we would have to wait to see it? Then he went back to the Apprentice Show. But lately he appears as the source of Republican candidate authority ("Please pick me Don")and he never gets called on his past claims. Heck, maybe RS could win in a landslide if only Don released all that 'incriminating' evidence he claimed to have found on Obama.

Don't forget, Trump endorsed Romney not Newt.

Trump's Chumps!

[Steelfish]

Trump is trying his best to keep himself in the news when he’s completely irrelevant. Soon after he endorsed Romney, Romney got thrashed in a trifecta win for Santorum. Why does anyone care what Trump thinks?

“There’s nothing — there’s no gift, no Christmas gift, that could be given better than Rick Santorum to the Democrats,” Trump said in a radio interview which aired in Michigan.

So does Trump favor Santorum as a Rep Candidate or oppose?

Trump backs a lot of prominent libs so it's hard to tell....

[LowTaxesEqualsProsperity]

Santorum as the nominee spells Certain Defeat and Obama’s second term and pro-aborts on Supreme Court.

No thanks. We need someone else.

“There’s nothing — there’s no gift, no Christmas gift, that could be given better than Rick Santorum to the Democrats,”

IMHO, there's no better Christmas gift Santorum could have received than Trump. In the rust belt states, having a New York real estate mogul whose famous catch phrase is, "You're fired!" is going to resonate like a fart at a funeral.

[lonestar]

IMO, Trump is a real estate genius...and a “politics” moron... not well informed politically.

[LibLieSlayer]

trump and romney are both dims parading as republicans.
They both lie about being Conservatives while their politics make putin happy.

If Santorum cannot defeat obama and romney cannot defeat obama (I will personally Never vote for the pos known as romney) and Gingrich cannot beat obama... then obama is unbeatable. In that case... nothing matters because all of you experts on FR have declared than none of the above three can beat obama.

Here is my expert opinion... a ham sandwich will be able to beat obama.

I would not say dunce... I would compare it to a cast of a musical. When Rick part of the chorus he looked okay, but doing a solo he is a flat of foot and voice.

And worse, he has let Obama and the media change his script to contraceptives, abortion and the Catholic Church.

[RitaOK]

We knew this was coming....eventually. Right? Santorum was not long going to be seen to be actually performing at the ballot box, and still continue to get a shell free field to play in. We knew that. No one likes it, but.....

Now, if Ricky would rustle up some gossip that he was more in tune with, and favorable toward, Newt Gingrich than the PA rumor mill has him strapped solidly to Romney’s back side, then I could pull open my symapthy drawer, but until Ricky gets some conservative cred to make up for his un-extraordinary conservative legislative record, which screamed moderate, then for awhile longer I leave him twisting in the wind.

The only conservative bono fidis vein in the Santorum is on the family issues. After that, it’s union all the way, baby.

[dforest]

Trump is still having a hissy fit because his boy Romney has tanked even more since his endorsement. Ha ha! Gotta love it.

Donald is a big mouth phony.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

How did this life long Democrat become an expert on GOP politics ?

[skeeter]

How are you gonna be able to explain your vote for a ‘dunce’ in the general election?
