*Disclaimer: I am not a Santorum fan nor a Republican*
A Rick Santorum Timeline
Despite fighting a Democratic incumbent saddled with a weak economy and somewhat low approval ratings, 2012 election was a mess for the Republican. They had to deal with a shrinking demographic base, a circus primary, and a sharply divided party between their three right wings (social conservatives, Tea Partiers, and the Ron Paul Movement). While controlling the House, they faced much of the blame for the fiscal gridlock and loss of faith at Washington. Their final candidate fatally repeated the mistakes of their opponents just eight years earlier: an out-of-touch New Englander with lukewarm support from the base against a sitting president, who was better both as a campaigner and as a politician. The result was losing a perfectly winnable election... just like in 2004.
But what if things were different? What if the Republican primary got just a little crazier than usual? The PoD is the October 18th Republican debate at Las Vegas, Nevada.
