  1. I still haven’t recovered from the trauma of the years Rick Santorum was one of my PA Senators. Probably never will.

  2. Notice that they never say ‘quit’? It’s always ‘suspend.’

    Has their been a campaign that has EVER restarted once it’s been ‘suspended’?

  4. Jeb!: Please clap; I will now get all of Rick’s delegates.

  5. BOTH of them?
