“I’m not saying that Trump should drop out, I’ve never said anything you should get in or drop out. I think something has to happen in this race or Trump is going to get the nomination.” – Rick Santorum, Former Pennsylvania Senator
Former Senator Rick Santorum Discusses the Presidential Debate and Current Polls
Introduction
Former Pennsylvania Senator and Senior Newsmax political contributor Rick Santorum recently appeared on a news program to discuss the upcoming presidential debate and the latest polls showing Donald Trump with a significant lead. Santorum highlighted the importance of the debate for other Republican candidates in the race and expressed his views on the current political landscape.
Santorum’s Analysis
Santorum noted that while Trump’s decision not to attend the debate was not related to his arraignment, the recent CBS poll showing him up by 46 points was significant. However, he also pointed out that the majority of Americans do not want either Trump or Joe Biden to run for president, indicating a lack of popularity for both candidates. Santorum discussed the need for other candidates to challenge Trump and emphasized the potential for a shift in the race if they unite against him.
Is This DeSantis’s Last Stand?
Santorum also commented on the upcoming debate, particularly focusing on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s performance. He highlighted the importance of DeSantis having a strong night and positioning himself as the alternative to Trump in the race. Santorum acknowledged the challenges faced by candidates on the debate stage and emphasized the need for them to seize the opportunity to stand out.
Advice from a Debate Veteran
Drawing on his experience from participating in numerous presidential debates, Santorum offered advice to candidates on the debate stage. He stressed the importance of making the most of limited speaking time, preparing for a variety of questions, and being authentic to connect with voters. Despite the pressure to deliver memorable moments, Santorum shared his approach of focusing on authenticity rather than trying to score quick zingers.
Conclusion
As the presidential race heats up and candidates prepare for critical debates, the role of each contender becomes increasingly significant. Santorum’s insights offer a valuable perspective on the dynamics of political debates and the strategies needed to stand out in a crowded field.

I think this debate is more about introducing themselves and what way they want to lead the country we already know President Trump and what way he wants to lead the country so no need for him to be there right now

Embarrassment and a coward, this is going hurt him more
Trump is not going to surrender. ❤❤
Trump 2024…prayers from India.
Can you say UNIPARTY this guy is a snake.
Trump is popular worldwide. You are kidding, trump will win 2024 I support trump 💯 🇬🇧 ❤❤
Trump refusing to debate is bad for optics, but with all the indictments looming over his head, I get why Trump doesn't want to debate especially with biased moderaters. The only questions directed at him will be about his multiple indictments, making him out to look like "al capone" reincarnated running for president, which is an even worse optic! Optics that will provide the media with all the fodder they need to entertain their clapping seals throughout the election cycle.
Why share a room full of fools.
Why is Santorum still speaking?
Running just to get their share of free money! Trump 2024
I'd vote trump over everyone else vevek would be next
Santorum is a card carrying Uniparty member.
Trump will win
No. All they want to do is sling mud at him. He can't get his agenda out if hes constantly defending false accusations from ppl who have zero chance.
President Trump has Full immunity for anything done as President unless it Treason, Bribary and other high crimes and Misdemeanors. Trump committed none and Biden has plenty Treason, Bribery and High crimes & misdemeanors. Biden can be charged for his crimes while not President and as VP. He doesn't have that immunity.
We have one chance maybe save what's left of America and that is President Trump
This isn't a debate for the nomination, it's a debate for Trump's running mate…
"Did you know that I invented the word indictment? I said let's put a silent c in there. Perfect word."
Newsmax why are you silent about the Maui fire
YES!
A tremendous opportunity for 2nd place!
Traitor some republicans are just that
A vote for Trump is a vote for World War III.
WAKE UP LEMMINGS!
