Betcha a dollar to a donut that Rick has a Jeb Guacamole Bowl in his Kitchen Cupboard.
He probably has a copy of the secret Bush Family Guacamole Recipe too.
He knows a lot about losing! Loser! Go away!
Santorum pops his head up. Trial balloon to see whether he can get any interest in possibly running for president — AGAIN.
Hey Rick, STHU!! Nobody with a brain cares a whit what you think........
Why would he want to calm down the opposition? Frantic and panicked people make more mistakes more quickly, and often those mistakes are irreversible.
Does Santorum want the President to lose?
Wonder how much idiots like Santorum are paid to go on tv and Blather their BS?
Increasingly it seems like Toomey wasn't a much better choice after all.
"Calm down the opposition? What is Santorum smoking!!?? This is one of President Trump's greatest gifts - driving the opposition to even further insanity.
Santorum and other softy GOPers should practice on being political warriors against the Leftist enemy, not polite pushovers to evil liars and scoundrels whose goals are political power and tyranny over their fellow citizens.
Al Jazeera loaned him out?
Liberals will invariably oppose Trump no matter what. But how many conservatives will even bother to respond to these approval polls? I know I won’t.
Sigh. What’s he doing on CNN carrying their water for them? And touting polls? Seriously, Rick?
You mention people who will not vote for him because of his mouth, and people who will vote for him, despite his mouth.
But you arent mentioning all the people (like me) who will vote for him precisely BECAUSE of his mouth - I think there are tens of millions of us.
People crave honesty in politics - and the only sure way to tell whether a politician is being honest, is to look at whether they give a rats ass what anyone thinks.
President Trump speaks his mind and gets raked over the coals for it 24/7.
Obviously, when he chooses what to say, hes not going for public approval - so whats he doing? Hes speaking the unvarnished truth. He is saying things that people in power dont want to hear.
When President Trump starts choosing his words carefully, so as not to offend anyone, thats when well know he has become a DC politician and that hes finally tired of winning.
His fake approval ratings will go up, but the crowd sizes at his rallies will shrivel down to that of normal politicians.
I hope it never happens!
I rather like Rick Santorum but regardless, lets take a practical approach to this ..
During the last election, the entire enemedia and the Clinton campaign had her winning by double digits and as we know, that was nonsense. It raises the question though of what difference does it really make when farfetched opinions such as these are put out there.
- Are there really voting folks who think that they should jump on a bandwagon because it appears that everyone else has done that and they are better off joining the runaway train as opposed to going against it?
- Is it possible that voters who would normally go out and vote for a candidate might get lackadaisical and figure gee, if he/she is so far out in front, its not really all that important that I go out and vote.
- If it appears that a candidate for the opposite party to what one normally votes for is doing well, does that act as a boot in the rear end to go out and vote to counteract that success?
- Or if a candidate who one would not typically vote for is being promoted wildly in the media as running away with it, does it have the opposite effect and cause potential voters such discouragement they stay home?
Out of all this push and pull, what come out on top? Even if what Santorum is saying is nonsense, might it actually be helping Trump by encouraging supporters to get out the vote? I guess Im not convinced that polls actually influence outcomes because for every vote it might affect to change in one direction of the overall count, there is likely a vote that was affected in the other direction. Does anyone know of a good study that has looked at this?
No more re-treads. The GOOP needs new blood, new voices, new PR firms.. Meanwhile, Run for your local school board, Rick.
Trump will have historic low favorability ratings while
winning a historic landslide victory in 2020....hohum...
RICK SANTAROUM
Is yesterday news..he is a POLITICAL nothing...and he is putting the final nail in his Republican coffin.
There was a day here in Pennsylvania I supported that person, but once he came to our County and all he seemed concerned about was lining his kids up for a photo. and that gave me an answer to ...
NEVER SUPPORT HIM AGAIN...AND I’VE STUCK TO THAT....
HE IS A NOTHING BURGER...enough said...
He would have lost bigly.
I think he must speak truth to all. He can do so in a more adult way and get more voters IMO. Some people are so prissy, they choose the nice evil guy over the big mouth good guy.
He can do so in a more adult way and get more voters IMO.
Our opinions differ, but you could be right - who knows.
I would not mess with success
>> whatever he does now
Supposedly making conservative films. Or making supposedly conservative films.
