I’ve seen people claim Trump basically based his entire candidacy on Santorum’s book.

Santorum was the furthest out there of anyone besides Trump in trying to push specific policies targeted at boosting manufacturing. Both of them doing it in ways that rankle traditional conservatives because they specifically targeted either tax breaks (Santorum) or tax hikes (Trump) at manufacturers to incentivize them to stay here.

The problem with Rick Santorum is not some of his policies, it is his personality and the fact that he is “Rick Santorum”. He is a nice guy, but he is too nice, like “Mr. Rodgers”.

Trump is like a stampeding elephant, get out of the way and either get in behind him and start following him after he blows past you or risk getting mowed down on his next pass...

A tax break and (not) getting a tax hike are roughly the same thing.
