Santorum gets it.
Some truth carried by a bad source:
Donald Trump’s insistence that he was wiretapped by the Obama administration, despite what the FBI and the Senate Intelligence Committee have said, is now “hurting” him, warned former Pennsylvania senator and Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum. Santorum, who supported Trump for president and backs many of his policies, also said it’s time for Trump to leave the campaign behind and act like a president. “We’re not in an election anymore, and it’s not his opponent he’s throwing off,” Santorum said of Trump during an appearance on CNN. “I think it’s him that he’s throwing off.”I suppose the quote is correct but the background is false. Santorum isn't just a supporter or backer. Santorum is a REAL Populist who understands the problems and solutions deeply and accurately. He has been consistently observing problems and proposing solutions for 20 years. He helped Trump to SAY the right things, but it's still completely unclear that Trump UNDERSTANDS anything. Aside from populism and globalism, there's a basic question of leadership. One of Trump's big selling points was his alleged leadership ability as a businessman who GETS THINGS DONE. Starting fights you can't win is NOT part of GETTING THINGS DONE. It's the exact opposite. When you're wasting time and effort on an unwinnable battle, you are losing the confidence of your own supporters. We WANT to support a man who works toward correct solutions, but we can't support an idiot who wastes everyone's time with stupid distractions. ¶ 2:15 AM
