Is he next in line for the GOP? You know - they always put up the loser of the primaries as the next candidate. The GOP is a very creative, imaginative group./s
Not even close, I agree with Yossarian and nextrush, Santorum is there to serve the establishment, but not to be the actual nominee, he doesn’t really have the chops for that large of a role or the ability, he is a survivor type career politician looking for an income, he isn’t a leading man.
You probably already know this about Santorum but if you haven’t seen it yet.
People don’t know that Santorum was anti-Reagan and pro-abortion like his man Romney, who in 2008 he was comparing to Reagan, Santorum switched to pro-life for his first run for office, remember that Romney spent years trying to create the myth that Reagan was “adamantly pro-choice”.
Santorum endorsed and campaigned for, the presidential candidate in 1996 that was running on the platform for making the GOP pro-abortion and removing life entirely from the party position and platform.
In 2008 Santorum (who has campaigned as a “progressive conservative”) who had himself been anti-Reagan, was promoting Romney who had also been anti-Reagan, as the new Reagan leader for conservatism.
Santorum has shown a level of devotion to Arlen Specter that cannot be explained away.
Santorum fought Toomey like it was truly important for him to be kept out of the Senate and to keep Santorum from losing Specter.
