Rick Santorum endorsed Marco Rubio for president on Wednesday evening, just hours after announcing he’d drop out of the race himself.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtontimes.com ...
He also endorsed Arlen Spector over Pat Toomey in 2004. Rick is conservative but he’s GOPe all the way.
Yep. Santorum is a careerist Mainline GOPe conservative all the way. Much closer to Cruz politically yet he picks Marco Amnestio. Interesting.
I am not surprised by this at all.
Rick got schlonged in his reelection bid in PA. His endorsement is worthless. He is looking for an establishment job. Real simple.
LOL, I saw what you did there.
Santorum endorses Sphincter a second time
Well, waddaya know ?!
Rubio is less Washington then Cruz who has spent many years more then Rubio. Rubio has a lot of time in the Florida state government and all conservative. He has one hit on him and that is Gang of 8........is that lethal against Hillary? That is the question and only question.
Rubio has been pro-illegal his entire career going back to his days in FL politics.
Admitted he didn’t know what a “ground game” is? Thought Twitter was the holy grail? Can this possibly be accurate?
Sometime in early April. If not after Super Tuesday. He has fans, but no ground game.
EXACTLY. Which is why the Ruling Class will continue to run Bush, Christie, Kasich and Rubio (their newfound poster boy).
Wear out true and real Conservatives into giving up, because the Establishment nominee is inevitable, so that Hillary's Crowning to be Queen in November looks like it was a legitimate election.
That's the game.
You all are falling for it.
His home is in Florida, not NY or Ark.
I think Trump overplayed expectations in a state where the pre-caucus polls are notoriously unreliable.
Still, EVERY candidate who thinks they have a shot is going to be (publicly) overly positive the day before the vote.
Trump now admits his ground game was too little, too late. I’ll bet if he’d had one “team member” working for him on the Iowa caucus, for every 4 votes he got, as Cruz claims he (Cruz) did, the results would have been different.
IF Trump does well in NH, Iowa will be largely forgotten.
We don't have a say in what Trump and Cruz do. But I would like to see Trump trash the media and stay politically incorrect. That will destroy the power of the media to frame the narrative and allow Cruz to emerge if/when Trump destructs. If Trump does not destruct then we will have Trump as President.
The problem with Rubio is that he lies (or exaggerates at best) and Hilary will harp on that non-stop to deflect from her own felonies. Rubio will weakly mention her felonies as "unacceptable" mistakes (he already has). Cruz or Trump would not let her get away with lying about it.
Amnesty isn’t conservative. The Rule of Law matters.
Yes, I agree on a NH win.
But a NH loss will be devastating to him. I think he would not be able to recover, and would likely melt down on twitter after, thus sealing his fate.
And I think his opponents know this, and they will pull out all stops and engage in dirty tricks wherever possible.
Trump better lock it down.
You saw what he did there? Wow.

This already happened. Trump shut down the hildabeast war on women with one Tweet while Cruz cut and run from the issue.
This is the same guy who endorsed proto-RINO Arlen Spectre, so no surprises here.
TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT!
Your right. And I just heard today that he has even said that he thinks it would be humanitarian to let some Syrians back in. Not sure what he was talking about.
