Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum officially suspended his Republican presidential campaign on Wednesday and endorsed Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) for the presidency.
“We are suspending our campaign,” Santorum said on Fox News after reports swirled Wednesday of his intentions.
Santorum called Rubio a “tremendously gifted young man” who is focused on the issues he believes in — helping the middle class and understanding the threat of “fundamentalists Islam.”
Santorum said he doesn’t “endorse lightly.”
“(Rubio) is a born leader and someone I just feel a lot of confidence in that he is — he is the new generation and someone that can bring this country together, not just moderates and conservatives but young and old,” Santorum said.
Pity. He made campaigning look so easy.
He was in the race?
As the character “Seinfeld” un-empathetically said, “that’ a shame”.
Let’s go get some coffee".
I guess that means Marco luvs the Jeebus more than Cruz does. Or is this just another fundie fight?
I’m proud to say we lived in Pennsylvania when Santorum was voted out of the U.S. Senate after just one term. He was caught swindling taxpayer money for an online education and had to repay. Perhaps he will leave the political scene and get some kind of real job and stop pretending he has something to offer in public office.
