Mitt Romney’s New Campaign Strategy is to Sideline Santorum [Video]


Mitt Romney is slowly unveiling his strategy to take down a surging Rick Santorum. After basically destroying Newt Gingrich in the early primaries with attack ads and highlighting his weaknesses. This strategy is not going to really work on ex Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum.

Rick Santorum so far has proven that his record is consistently conservative, morally superior and he is much more likeable than Romney. Mitt Romney has always thought that the conservative base of the Republican Party would slowly come around to the former Massachusetts Governor once the primaries advanced and Romney started picking up momentum

This strategy is not coming together. Republican voters are still hopefully searching for a candidate that can appeal to their principles as opposed to Romney who seems to believe that he is entitled to the nomination because he calls himself a Republican and he has made a lot of money in the private sector.

Romney has tried to attack Santorum for taking lots and lots of earmarks during his time in the Senate but this strategy has made Romney look desperate and pathetic.

The Romney team does not seem to get it that a majority of people in the country do not hold him in such high regard. He is a serial flip-flopper, has in the past supported many different liberal social issues when it suits his political career and at the same time his policies all seem to be based around slashing tax rates on high income Americans even further. These types of tax policies are seen as very self serving for a man worth more than $200 million dollars.

The other reason that Santorum is surging is the realization that when Barack Obama talks about what is wrong with America (and a lot of his positions are believed by the American People) 90% of his criticisms of rich, entitled greedy snobs apply to Romney. Republicans are realizing more and more that Obama will probably wipe the floor with Romney in the general election.

Do you think Romney will be able to take out Santorum and secure the nomination? Do you think Romney will get destroyed by President Obama in the general election?
