Santorum: GOP loss in Virginia is Trump’s fault
By Max Greenwood - 11/08/17 08:54 AM EST

President Trump bears the blame for Democrats' electoral sweep on Tuesday according to former Sen. Rick Santorum, who said he has failed to deliver the decisive legislative victories he promised.

"I think the bottom line is Donald Trump is not delivering on what he said he was going to deliver on, and that's the problem," Santorum said on CNN. "And he needs to deliver, and if there's a message for Republicans they better get that message and they better start passing stuff and looking like they can govern."

I don't see the connection. Virginia has been going blue for quite some time.

GOP will continue to lose until they start keeping the promises made in 2016.

How many votes did Rick get in the GOP primaries?

The Senate does not pass bills and deliver them to the President's desk to sign.  That is true, I find fault with apathetic voters as well, wanting last year's candidate, stubborn as mules.

He had to remind everyone he's a "former Presidential candidate." Maybe he'll get another invite for a paid speaking gig.

Frankly, I always look to Rick Santorum when I need expert political analysis.  His record is so awe-inspiring in this regard. /s

I don't see how losing Virginia was Trump's fault when Trump also lost Virginia.

And Little Ricky,  who did Pennsylvania vote for in the last POTUS election?

And most of those were the very same folks who voted against you in 2006.  So have a nice cup of STFU.

When you have losing to a lisping moron like Boob Casey under your belt along with blowing two Presidential primaries, your opinion isn't worth a bucket of spit.

Bottom line:  Gillespie was not supposed to have a chinaman's chance in Virginia and he turned out to have a chance  It was a long shot from the get.

I thought we had three separate but equal branches of govt. I didn't know Trump could make Congress pass legislation.

CNN was in full DNC propaganda informercial last nite. It was like watching the North Korean news agency. They pushed this as a thunderous resounding win for the Dems and a total failure for Trump.

Reality is this was nothing but changing demographics in a state where federal bureaucrats have been moving to the NoVa burbs. This is the Dems desperate to create the appearance of momentum.

Santorum is an imbecile to make such a statement.

The WHOLE LOT of the Republican Party - can chalk up the consequences of yesterdays elections to itself.

Trump included because he has done more to further the polarization and divides that the Democrats have engineered, rather than work for any kind of unity unless it is to himself.

The GOP Leadership has demonstrated it is just part and parcel one with the Democrat leadership, so - if you want Socialism and Statism, why bother with wannabes when you have Pelosi, Schumer and their party masters to choose from?

The GOP may finally get to keep the Whigs company by the end of the next cycle the way they are going.

Which is a good thing.

Santorum is trying to deflect against the failure of the Senate to stand behind what Trump has proposed and what the people want.

Saying Trump needs to deliver while the Senate is an egregious failure is just asking for trouble.

Santorum has held elected office only from  1995  to 2007.

He is an attorney. He ran for President twice. He supported Trump in 2016.

What do Sunday news appearances pay?

I'm still trying to figure out how an incumbent US Senator loses an election by 17%.

Santorum is partly correct.  Trump may not like it, but schmoozing the senate is part of his job.  He has spent far more time picking fights with allies.  A seasoned politician would convince a few vulnerable Democrats to cooperate.  Nope, he just keeps punching himself in the face.

It's worse than that. He lost by 17 to someone with a speech impediment who barely breaks into the 70's on the IQ scale.
