Your post is spot on with one notable exception and that is Rick Santorum is NOT a Free Trader at all. Him, Trump and Sessions are the best we got.

Santorum would be a great pick for VP.

I apologize if I mis-characterized Santorum's economic position but they have used social issues to distract us from economic issues for way too long - because those social issues bother us greatly.

The problem for them is that this worked for a while as long as economically the base was getting by with enough to make economics lower on their totem pole than social issues. That is no longer the case it seems.
