Perot’s Admiral Stockdale was also a vigorous pro-abort type.
Santorum for VP! Boycott Flynn at the convention.
I liked Sessions, but I can see the point of leaving him in the Senate. I supported Santorum in 2012, and I like the idea of picking him. Here’s an editorial on why Santorum is a good pick.
Excerpt:
Forget about Chris Christie and Newt Gingrich. The logical running mate for Donald Trump is former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum.
Before Trump entered the race, Santorum was the only Republican presidential candidate who argued that low-skilled immigration reduces wages for American workers. Trump rails against the North American Free Trade Agreement. Santorum voted against it.
Trump frets about the fate of American manufacturing. In previous presidential campaigns, Santorum stood out among Republicans by advocating government support for manufacturers.
Trump says he wants the Republicans to be “a worker’s party.” Santorum wrote the book on it, literally: His “Blue-Collar Conservatives” was reportedly an influence on Trump’s campaign.
Speculation about Trump’s veep choice has centered on Christie and Gingrich, but Santorum has also been reported as a possibility. (Other politicians, such as Sens. Bob Corker of Tennessee and Joni Ernst of Iowa have been considered but have said in public they do not want the vice presidential nomination.)
Christie, New Jersey’s governor, and former House Speaker Gingrich of Georgia are not nearly as close to Trump on immigration and trade policy as Santorum is. They would have to either renounce their records on those issues, making themselves look insincere, or undercut Trump’s message by noting their disagreement with it.
