Not gonna fly—the top of the ticket doing something like that after almost 40 years. (Cheney was bad enough.)
Rick Santorum is never, ever mentioned by Beck or on Fox News. He is shunned or marginalized by media and left off nearly all the polls despite the fact he has been nonstop active and very publicly so on both the political and cultural fronts since 2012. He is the single biggest threat to the establishment, and now every 2016 wannabe is parroting him almost verbatim from 2012. In a desperate move to recast himself, Romney even recently adopted everything Santorum said about marriage and poverty and blue collar jobs. Same with all the other candidates, like they’ve thoroughly studied Santorum and why he was so successful and nearly took Romney out despite running a barebones, shoestring campaign against a billionaire Super PAC funded establishment pick with his own personal media arm, Fox News.
Jebster does not need the base. Cruz, Walker, Pence, Jindal, Huckabee, Santorum, Paul etc will divide the base enough and clear the path for Jebster.
Huckster will get the fundies,
Santorum will get the church ladies,
Walker will get the anti-union vote,
Paul will get the small government libertarians,
Cruz will get the Southern conservative vote,
Pence will get the mid-west conservative vote,
Jindal will get those who value high IQ and attention to detail.
So, all Jebster needs is the moderate republicans to win nomination. Then he will lose to Hillary in November because all those who did not get their first choice win will stay home.
Mittster in the race was the best hope for conservative by dividing moderates between Mittster and Jebster. Now it looks a whole nunch better for the Jebster.
