Sources told CNN Wednesday that Rick Santorum is dropping out of the 2016 presidential race.

"Another GOP departure: CNN has learned @RickSantorum will exit race tonight. Plans endorsement."

-- John King (@JohnKingCNN) February 3, 2016

The former Pennsylvania senator's exit comes close on the heels of Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul 's Wednesday announcement.

And Rand Paul dropped out too.

Those two..Huck and Santorum are looking to continue to drink fro the government spigot....it matters not to them how they get up to it as long as they can clamp down.

..."We're almost there bud,...gravies coming soon!".....

[Squeako]

I’m sure he’ll be running again in 2020. Same with Huck.

[Palmetto Patriot]

Ricks establishment so of course he’ll back Trump......he didn’t stand on the Trump stage for nothing.....Huck will also because he’s still upset with Cruz for taking the votes he thought he had cornered....

Santorum and Huckabee both won Iowa Caucuses with big time support from Evangelicals. No matter who these former candidates endorse, I believe their voters will migrate to Cruz.

[Jeff Head]

Huckabee, Paul, and now Santorum on the heels of Iowa.

I believe Fiorina, Kasich, and Christi may get out after NH.

Bush will not go until after super Tuesday...if then.

Ultimately, it looks like it is going to boil down to Cruz, Trump, and Rubio.

Soooooo...Rick is going to pledge his, his wife’s and Mom’s vote to someone?

[bert]

neither was willing to except the fact they were stale. or maybe had freezer burn, but the votes they were counting on went to cruz.

the few votes they scrounged up were likely to old folks in a serious rut

[Crucial]

He should change his mind and announce that he will continue to fight. Play the press like a fiddle...

[caww]

Supporting Specter for one....which ultimately gave us Obama. Santorum will never be forgiven for that. He betrayed his own.

[fooman]

Thanks for the reminder. I vaguely remember this, but did not associate Sanitation with rehabilitating Spector!

Spector!

[insert James Bond visual here]

“LOL! Not for long! At least not by a chunk of them. My guess is at around 7:00 tonight he’s going to be labeled as the biggest establishment, noneffective, irrelevant RINO the party has ever seen.”

So true! :-)

[Hawthorn]

>> I excepted the comment and showed it aa quotation not a comment from me <<

Oops! Now I see. My apology.

[Albion Wilde]

Amen!

[Solson]

Says the 13% poll percentage?

[dp0622]

you think he matters? maybe, dont know they guy very well. Still tying to figure out what Gilmore is.

“True heresy from Rick re the unborn, though, b/c Trump is not pro-life. Let’s face facts.”

You lie like a rug.

[Clintonfatigued]

I hope he endorses Trump shortly before the New Hampshire primary. Their platforms are similar.

Now we expect average private citizens to stop abortions and save babies?

Private citizens can support bills? How? Who listens to us anyways? Our own elected officials were too afraid to offend King Obama, did squat. Keep supporting the GOPe

Interesting.....
