google handle. He is, in a drawer full of dim bulbs, among the dimmest. In a world of shit- spinners, he’s the most reliable turd wrangler, and he needs to go back to his to rocking chair, and fuck the fuck off.

Honestly, I was watching CNN pre-debate. They are all socially distanced at that big ol desk. Frothy was not in the shot. He was quiet for about 2 minutes, but the second they camera panned to him and he opened his mouth to speak, I was out of there.

He lost his bid for reelection receiving only 41% of the vote compared to Bob Casey's 59%.

Santorum is a raging misogynist and doesn't like women who want to work outside the home, blaming "radical feminism" for those who choose to have a career. He blamed the Catholic church's sex abuse.

I find his presence on ANY panel, especially one critiquing a female candidate's debate performance, extremely offensive.

I don't get why anybody even asks him a question on TV.
He's just another private citizen who, as you said, got sent packing after a drubbing. 14 years ago!
Who cares what he thinks? The people in his own state didn't.

“Too extreme for Pennsylvania” - like he might not have been to extreme for Alabama but too extreme for us. I think a lot of that was his “no exceptions for rape” stance, which was pretty shocking back then. Now it’s just a common, ho-hum part of the “who cares if the woman dies” “pro-life” dogma.
