Oh please. Santorum was weak in the 2012 primary, despite winning a small handful of early states. He never had the real sort of traction and momentum he needed to be truly competitive.
You’re a numbers geek who’s missing the bigger sociological paradigm shift that’s occurring right before your eyes. For anyone looking, it’s been plain as day since July of last year.
The people of this country are rejecting professional politicians, and demanding a proven, world class executive type, to sort out the dysfunction and corruption in Washington. It’s time we had a real man in charge. The very survival of the nation depends on it, and no freshman Senator has the skill set or executive experience to manage it.
Well said.
From my POV in 2012 it seemed like Santorum was basically a spoiler candidate that divided what could’ve otherwise been a viable anti-Romney vote.
At this point, Cruz may (unintentionally) end up doing the same in 2016 and effectively derail the anti-Rubio vote.
