.....” something about Santorum that comes across as unlikeable & whiny, even “weaselly”. ......
That’s because HE IS unlikeable, whiny and a weasel. Like putting liptstick on a pig...it’s still a pig.
Yep, that massive, humiliating, history making defeat that he suffered when he was kicked out of his Senate seat, says it all.
Two terms as an oily and insincere Senator, and his people threw him out with an incredible 17.4% landslide, yet some freaks think that makes him the guy to beat in presidential politics.
Santorum can't win anything, but he can hurt conservatives, the people that he used to mock during the Reagan years when he called the Reagan supporters the "right-wing fringe" and "shunned" them.
