“He has helped to make sure the we got Mitt Romney as the GOP nominee by splitting conservative votes...”
Ridiculous. Santorum was far and away the only conservative challenging Romney for the nomination. Newt (who isn’t even that conservative anymore) won what, one state? If anything, Newt kept Santorum from beating Romney in a few winner-takes-all states.
You’re delusional. The race was Romney v Newt. After Romney won florida, it was over. Santorum’s wins were all after the race was over.
