You can't go wandering into these forums without being prepared as to what the tough questions that you're going to get, and have a good response, one that's that needs to be made, which is condemning crazy things that are crazy.
Rick Santorum
The Public Record
Rick Santorum is a former U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania, serving from 1995 to 2007. A member of the Republican Party, he was known for his conservative positions on social issues, including opposition to abortion and same-sex marriage. During his tenure, Santorum was involved in various legislative efforts, including those related to healthcare and education reform. He gained national prominence during his 2012 presidential campaign, where he focused on issues such as economic growth and family values.
I think a lot of people sort of baked it into the cake that the President is -- you know has some dealings that are, let's just say, not ordinary and that those are things that they've sort of already figured out.
There is just a credibility issue. You know, there's a credibility issue from 'The New York Times' and from what I would call the mainstream media to the people who are voting for Donald Trump.
The president certainly has the right. No one is arguing he has the right to nominate somebody.
The only reason this was a contentious issue is because there were two different parties and there are two different branches.
Both parties use fear. I mean, you know, they're going to take your social security away; they're going to destroy Medicare.
I think the president can talk about death rates, he can talk about, you know, the situation could have been a lot worse.
The whole focus on suburban women and the issue of crime and the weakness of Democrats and the defund the police, all those things are actually playing right into - look, the chance that Donald Trump has in this election is that the…
The buck stops here, and when people are dying, you know, you've got to take responsibility for it.
I always say the campaigns are about to the future, not about the past. I mean, obviously the president is going to tout his record on the economy, but I think he needs to -- they need to focus more on what they're going to do in the…
This is a moment where presidents matter. This is a moment when you -- as David said, in the last few days I think things have really change, attitudes and moods have changed in this country.
I think he's concerned that this information is being fed out there and that it leads to exactly what your previous guests had talked about, you know, dissension and conflict between Democrats and Republicans.
I think he's going to be a disruptive force. And he's going to be a disruptive force at a time when the President feels like there are people in, you know, in and around who have, you know, not had his back and not been fair to him.
I support the President on having people who are loyal to him in positions that are important positions in his Cabinet.
The idea that he goes to the Ukrainians and that there was no other possible motivation for him to ask for an investigation of the 2016 election, which is not a future election, is because of his own partisan advantage.
The president will get a slap on the wrist. I think Republicans in the Senate felt like they were dealt a raw deal and that the president did some things that he shouldn't have done, probably not impeachable, he shouldn't have done.
I think that the Democrats will not be able to help themselves. I think they'll continue to pursue Donald Trump, up until -- well, up until and after the election, if he wins, they'll keep at it. They won't miss a beat.
The larger point is when I say they gave them a bum case, it was not because they didn't interview a bunch of witnesses and didn't have documents, it's because that the charges that were laid out in the impeachment are not -- are not -- as…
Just remember, the Ukraine policy under this president is actually the right policy as opposed to the old president was not.
There will be more investigations. There will be more congressional resolutions passed.
Bolton is not testifying that he was asked to do a quid pro quo. He was not asked to do that.
The president was impeached for doing this. And a big part of the country was -- is not happy that the president did that and a lot of them wanted witnesses.
If the White House is going to object, they have a constitutional basis to do so. It needs to be litigated as it has been throughout the course of the history of this country, not by the Senate impeachment or not by the chief justice. It's…
I would align with what Lamar Alexander said. Look, the president saying those things I think was improper.
