Someone explain Rick Santorum's unyielding support of Trump on his taxes.

Wasn't Rick one of the GOP visitors to Russia? I would like to see a list of those visitors to Russia. I believe a close review of their taxes is in order also.

The pride of PA. My favorite RS story is when he offered his “papers” to his alma mater, Penn State, and they politely declined.

It's a froth that comes out of Ricks mouth. Now it's where that froth comes from that you need to know. Warning: it's extremely foul!

looking for them but Sr. Obligata said the custodian thought they were litter from the rats' cage in the science room and, well, "We're sorry."

I hate that motherfucker. I think the religious right will back Trump to the end. Now that he's being 'persecuted,' they're really going to put him up on the cross.

Santorum is the same guy who took a tuition-free Pennsylvania cyber charter education for his kids. The whole family lived in VA, but claimed residence in Penn Hills.

When Santorum was randomly called for jury duty, he shirked it off.

And, of course, when his wife miscarried and lost the baby, he had a photo taken of all the kids along with Gabriel, the dead fetus. He reportedly keeps a picture of Gabriel on his desk.

We lost our first child at full-term. She died during my emergency C-section.

We have pictures of her. We held her. My mother-in-law and Father-in-Law took her to the funeral home.

It was an extremely traumatic experience all around, but those moments are so precious to a parent who has been waiting for a very much wanted child to arrive and then has the worst possible thing happen.

Rick Santorum is a horrible man, but back off on this one thing. Please. Everyone grieves in their own way.

This was a miscarriage, not nearly full term. I understand that people grieve these events in different ways, but what Santorum did was just creepy.

Any comment, any supposed core belief, is 180 degrees adjustable. Whatever favors them is all that matters. That's why they can hold back a SC nominee under Obama but under the same circumstances move forward with their choice under Trump.

There is no core belief, there is no moral compass. Their base is absolutely fine with it, because all they crave is the retention of power.

For all intents and purposes, the GOP has seceded from the USA. They have no internal rules to govern themselves by. They have their own set of "facts" to guide them. They are willing to circumvent justice, checks and balances, and separation of powers when one of theirs is in the line of fire. They are equally willing to bring down a Democrat for the slightest of indiscretions. They lie openly about their intentions - hey, we'll protect your pre-existing conditions - and ours (defund the police....really?).

They are a danger to a continued democratic state...and they number in the tens of millions. Maybe that's why we can't have nice things.
