Another one bites the dust. Former Pennsylvania Senator, Rick Santorum, is ending his 2016 presidential bid today.

Santorum is expected to make an official announcement this evening on Fox News On the Record w/Greta Van Susteren during which he will endorse a candidate.

Washington Times

The former Pennsylvania senator won the Iowa caucuses in 2012 but has been unable to capture that momentum this time around, finishing second-to-last in the crowded Republican field Monday night. Former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore finished last with 12 votes….

Santorum is the third GOP candidate to have suspended his 2016 presidential run since Monday.

Former Governor Mike Huckabee canceled his bid immediately after the Iowa Caucuses Monday night followed by a press statement earlier from Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.). Paul will also deliver an official announcement this afternoon.

One a final note: Suspicious to you? Rick Santorum’s Iowa precinct chair didn’t vote for him: ‘My pen ran out of ink’

With the 2016 Iowa caucuses just around the bend, rumors of a steel cage, tag team elimination match has surfaced.

Targeted for elimination: Senator Ted Cruz.

Endgame: “Anybody but Cruz”….hey wait a minute. I thought it was “Anybody but Trump.”

Moving on.

Tactic: Nudge Republican voters into supporting Marco Rubio over Cruz.

National Review by Tim Alberta & Eliana Johnson

As the Texas senator solidifies his front-runner status with just over a month to go before the February 1 caucuses, a loose network of social-conservative activists has undertaken a quiet effort to defeat him by any means necessary — even if that means rallying together behind a more electable rival to their own preferred candidates.

Many supporters of Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum, the last two winners of Iowa’s Republican presidential contests, are grappling with a pair of grim realities as the 2016 caucuses approach. Not only have their candidates been stuck in the low single digits for months in Iowa, but they also view Cruz, the new front-runner, as a phony opportunist who has pandered to Evangelicals for political gain, particularly in Iowa. And they fear that if Cruz notches a win in the Hawkeye State — especially if he does so by a wide margin, which many Republicans now view as a distinct possibility — he will emerge as the overwhelming favorite to capture the nomination […]

Once again, because of the Republican Party’s disdain for the U. S. Constitution and those ordained by the GOP establishment as right wing extremists and “wacko birds”, the leadership is advocating itself in the foot rather than abide by the will of the people.

Unfortunately, the only news reports to come out of the 2015 Family Leadership Summit that took place on July 18th in Ames, Iowa had to do with Donald Trump.

Hosted by Frank Luntz, the other interactive discussions, many of which are of worthy note, were swept under the radar and dismissed, no doubt intentionally by the establishment and their media puppets but not because they were doing Trump any favors.

Below are of the Q&A sessions of some of the candidates vying for the 2016 Republican Party Presidential nomination. They have a right to be heard we the voters have a right to hear from them.

Election 2012, GOP, Republican Party, Rick Santorum

I cannot help but feel that we have missed an opportunity here.

Progressives are celebrating yet another victory today as they step up their campaign to lead Americans like slaves down the road to serfdom and like lambs to the slaughter that awaits us all if we do not wake up and fast.

God bless the Santorums, especially Baby Bella.  You are in our prayers.

Okay, I could have said, “Rick Santorum Win Louisiana Republican Primary” but I am tired of the Republican establishment trying to force nails into the coffins of the other candidates even though it is clear that the people feel differently.

As of this posting, it appears that Newt Gingrich will cinch the second place spot in both primaries tonight.

No amount of spin from the media, Progressives or the so-called Republican establishment can deny the reality which is as plain as the nose on their elitist faces.  Americans are rejecting in record numbers candidates brought to us courtesy of the establishment elites.
