Rick Santorum is adamant that the presidential race is not yet over, telling Reuters on Saturday that “They put on the facade of inevitability, and they realize – I realize – this is far from over.” However, Santorum said that he won’t be “unrealistic” if the time does come for him to drop out.
“When I feel comfortable that we’ve done the best we possibly could and there’s just no more we can do and this race is, you know, we’ve run the course, then you know I’m not an unrealistic person,” Santorum said. But, he added, he’s nowhere near that point yet.
“I mean if that happens – I don’t believe it’s going to happen, but if it does happen – you know then we’ll face it, we’ll cross that bridge. But until that point – less than half the delegates have been voted for – I mean we’ve got a long way to go in this race.”
Santorum also dismissed those in the Republican Party who are calling for an end to the race:
“When people say, ‘Oh, they want you out,’ well none of these people were for me anyway,” Santorum said. “And none of these folks represent the values that I bring to the table and have been out there doing what we’re doing,” he said.
“I take their comments with a grain of salt.”
