Via BuzzFeed, here's Santorum springboarding off of Craig Robinson's post yesterday dismissing Cruz as a "false prophet of social conservatism." Apparently you can't be a truly strong social conservative if you're a federalist on "values" issues.
"Donald Trump has never been a social conservative up until the last few months, and Ted Cruz takes the position, very much a 10th Amendment, states rights, which is, you know, very much Rand Paul, Ron Paul position," Santorum said...
"If people want to do drugs in Colorado, it's fine with him," said Santorum. "If people want have different kind of marriages, it's fine with him. He doesn't agree with it. If you want to have an abortion, it's fine with him, he doesn't agree with it, but he's not gonna fight it. That's not what people are looking for. They're looking for someone who has a very clear vision of what's right and what's wrong and be able to lay that vision out for the American people."

too bad for Santorum showing ignorance and lack of class. Regretting I supported him in 2007
Now wait just a minute!
The Iowa campaign chairman for Romney in 2012, just endorsed Ted Cruz.
I didn’t see you whining about that did I.
Go away, Rick, you phony conservative. Even your home state of PA doesn’t like you.
Hot air... from Rick Santorum. How appropriate.
Saint Santo has absolutely no idea of the proper role of government, particularly in a representative republic.
You’re defending Sweater Vest? HILARIOUS!!
Earth to Santorum: Attacking Cruz will not vault you into the Iowa first place you covet! Get a life and quit the race already!
My next door neighbor, now long gone used to say it this way: Now wait just a cotton pickin’ minute!
I’m doing nothing of the sort.
I am reminding you that Romey’s Iowa campaign charman just endorsed Ted Cruz.
Did you speak out about that?
Be consistent!
Yes, I have heard that phrase many times.
Maybe he woke up? Reagan was once a registered Democrat and union president.
Tyranny from the Democrats, tyranny from the Republicans. The Constitution places strict limits on the federal government and it’s role. Abide by it and many modern day problems go away.
Santorum says he will support and defend the Constitution but has no problem acting outside of it.
Amazing how people I had suspicions about have shown their character (I remember when he voted for the bailout because he’s ‘a team player’). Romney is ok, but Cruz is not socially conservative enough for him.
I guess I just don’t understand what Santorum thinks should happen. Does he means Cruz isn’t beating his chest about constitutional amendments banning Sodomite marriage, pot, and abortion? To propose that is to propose nothing. Santorum knows that. However, the 10th amendment means that people in my state CAN ban Sodomite marriage, pot, and infanticide, and we can say “screw you” to California and Colorado. Does Santorum think it should be all or nothing? In that case, why isn’t he calling for a ban on Christian execution in Iran? I’ve never heard Santorum call for a constitutional amendment to ban beheading children by ISIS.
..But it may hurt Cruz and help the person who paid him to say it.
You might want to give that more thought, because as of now you still can’t grasp that Trump has also changed.
Has he? Or is he bamboozling millions? Time will tell.
In 2008, Trump Dismissed Clinton Sex Scandal as 'Totally Unimportant'
