The most hilarious untold story of the GOP primaries – The Gingrich/Santorum Unity Ticket
As Mitt Romney struggled in the weeks leading up to the Michigan primary, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum nearly agreed to form a joint “Unity Ticket” to consolidate conservative support and topple Romney. “We were close,” former Representative Bob Walker, a Gingrich ally, says.
But the negotiations collapsed in acrimony because Gingrich and Santorum could not agree on who would get to be president.
“I was disappointed when Speaker Gingrich ultimately decided against this idea, because it could have changed the outcome of the primary,” Santorum says. “And more importantly, it could have changed the outcome of the general election.”
They truly do believe in unicorns.
Look on the bright side, the same clown car full of far right candidates will be back in 2016, all the better for Hilary to beat the hell out of them. By now just the thought of Rick Santorum makes Karl Rove feel suicidal.
A fine example of the far right living in it’s own non reality based world, a view of the people who think “you can’t be conservative enough”. If you want to lose elections I quite agree.
