I would just love to see Mitt run again. Not sure how Santorum fell into a "liberal trap" though. Unless you are saying Republicans are helpless people with no personal responsibility.
The always conniving Libs control the TV debates, they put their people into the debate audiences to laugh and applaud at just the correct time to make Republicans look in a bad light. Don't you remember former speaker of the house Newt Gingrich jumping all over CNN's Republican Primary Debate Moderator John King for asking an obvious Liberal trap set-up question of him? They messed up Nixon's televised debate with JFK with a bad makeup job on Nixon, "the Zombie Look", Hollywood style. The Libs have think tanks working on debate questions that might make voters doubt the Republican participant honesty, integrity, intelligence, etc, Moderator Candy Crawly also comes to mind. The Republicans should use their own debate Moderators, etc, by buying Network time to hold their own Liberal influence free Primary debates in 2016. If The Hillary runs in 2016, they need to alternate the Repub, Demo National Debates between Fox and the rest of the Liberal News outlets, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, they get a debate venue, then Fox gets one, back and forth so Fox does every other National Presidential Debate. The Libs will try to promote a Republican in their debate who they think cannot defeat the Hillary, the Libs are way slicker than the Republicans, of course guys like Rush Limbaugh see through this crap, and I do also............
Ronald Reagan's so-called 11 Amendment....."Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican"...............
.............."While popularized by Reagan, "The Eleventh Commandment" was created by then California Republican Party Chairman Gaylord Parkinson. In his 1990 autobiography An American Life, Reagan attributed the rule to Parkinson, explained its origin, and claimed to have followed it:[3]
The personal attacks against me during the primary finally became so heavy that the state Republican chairman, Gaylord Parkinson, postulated what he called the Eleventh Commandment: Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican. It's a rule I followed during that campaign and have ever since.
The goal was to prevent a repetition of the liberal Republican assault on Barry Goldwater, attacks which contributed to Goldwater's defeat in the 1964 presidential election.[1] East Coast Republicans like Nelson Rockefeller labeled Goldwater an "extremist" for his conservative positions and declared him unfit to hold office.[1] Fellow Republican candidate for Governor George Christopher and California's liberal Republicans were leveling similar attacks on Reagan. Hoping to prevent a split in the Republican Party, Parkinson used the phrase as common ground. Party liberals eventually followed Parkinson's advice.[1]
Christopher would lose to Reagan in the Republican primary, and Reagan would go on to defeat incumbent Governor Pat Brown, the father of current (and former) governor and former California Attorney General Jerry Brown.
Reagan followed this "commandment" during the first five primaries during the 1976 Republican primary against incumbent Gerald Ford, all of which he lost. He abandoned this approach in the North Carolina Primary and beat Ford 52–46, regaining momentum and winning a majority of delegates chosen after that date. Former Texas governor John Connally speculated that Reagan's attacks weakened Ford in his contest with his general election opponent and eventual successor, Jimmy Carter"..................
