Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) was careful with his comments on the opening night of the Republican National Convention.

When asked for his thoughts on Melania Trump’s plagiarized remarks, Santorum added yet another vague position to the collective GOP response. “Obviously disappointed in what seems to be a little problem there, but overall I think she did a good job,” he told TPM.

What about the campaign trail so far, from the number of GOP lawmakers who decided to miss the convention to Monday’s stymied roll call vote? Once again, Santorum was cagey about his response to a convention opening night which had more than its share of bizarre moments.

“It’s hard for me to believe we’re living with the possibility of a Hillary Clinton presidency,” he said. “That worries me more than a Donald Trump convention.”
