Santorum won’t get much appeal, he’ll probably be in Alan Keyes territory, not invited to debates and not getting a high amount of votes. I doubt if he would take many votes from Ted Cruz. 2 percentage points maybe in early primaries? I don’t think Rick Santorum can make a viable run however I admire him for basically being the first big pro-life candidate in many years even if that success was mainly in the Primaries. If Ted Cruz and others come out as big Pro-Lifers, it’s thanks to Rick Santorum. Rick Perry is definitely very pro-life and has aided the law directly versus most other potential candidates.
I have no idea where you got this weird idea that Santorum created the pro-life republican, that doesn’t make any sense at all.
Was 2012 the first time you ever paid attention to a GOP primary?
