Herman Cain mocks Santorum's 'doomed presidential bid'

Failed Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain decried former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) for entering a presidential race he is unlikely to win.

The former Godfather’s Pizza CEO tweeted about Santorum’s “doomed presidential bid” and lobbed another bomb at ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, mocking Santorum for making his announcement in an interview with the “pretend journalist.”

(Stephanopolous’ standing among Republicans has fallen considerably since POLITICO reported that he had given $75,000 to the Clinton Foundation.)

The tweet linked to a blog post published by columnist Robert Laurie on the Cain TV website on Thursday, questioning “why every GOP throwback candidate feels they need to enter the race.”

“Does he bring anything to the table that hasn’t already been rejected? Nope,” the post said about Santorum. “Has he modified his message to appeal to a country that appears desperate for a true, small government, constitutionalist? Nope. Did he do anything in the years since 2008 that would give you a new reason to vote for him? Nope.”

“It’s simply a re-run.”

Pot calling kettle uh well, black.....

Herb, leave the Republicans alone, and attack the mutual enemy. Or do people like this say stuff like this, just to get a soundbite on the daily news?

I assume Herman is returning fire for past grievances against Rickie.

Also, RE: Stephanopolous’ standing among Republicans has fallen considerably since POLITICO reported that he had given $75,000 to the Clinton Foundation.

When did Snuffy have any standing with any republican???

Do we have a difficulty differentiating "Santorum" from "Stephanopoulos?"

Only difference is HEIGHT. RS is taller but most are taller than the Clinton hack Stephanopolos. Politics both the same and both love attention.

“why every GOP throwback candidate feels they need to enter the race.”

At least Cain is consistent on this argument in that he hasn't jumped in the race this time around.

Herm, you would know all about joke candidacies.

With the exception of Dubya every GOP President since Eisenhower was a re-run.
