In reply to the discussion: The GOP's Kamikaze Candidate-"Republicans have selected the worst candidate in recent memory" [View all]Quantess
(27,630 posts)41. Santorum would have been a better candidate.
Not that he would have won. But the few followers he had, were loyal for the right reasons, because they liked his principles (as fucked up as his principles are). Santorum stood for something, at least. What he stood for was despicable, but in christian conservative crazytown, he stood for their values. Santorum is not as big of a sellout as Romney, and he is not a flip flopper like Romney.

Romney was simply the least offensive, and limped into winning because he seemed more electable.

"opportunistic" says it all in a nutshell. This is the 1% going for broke.
