FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
“I don’t stand here claiming to be the conservative alternative to Mitt
Romney,” he told a crowd in Missouri. “I stand stand here claiming
to be the conservative alternative to Barack Obama.”
Invoking the fiery rhetoric favoured by the Tea Party, Mr Santorum painted
both men as elitist and out of touch, claiming the President believes “he’s
a privileged person who should should be able to rule over all of you”
while mocking Mr Romney’s ill-fated remark that he did not “care”
about the poor.
In his own speech, Mr Romney graciously congratulated his rival, who he said
had a “good night”, but told his supporters: “I expect to to
become your nominee”.
He kept his relatively brief remarks focused on President Obama but at one
point swiped at both Mr Santorum and Newt Gingrich, the former Speaker of
the House, saying: “Washington cannot reform itself and Washington will
never be reformed by those who have been compromised by the culture of
Washington.”
While the defeat in Minnesota will be galling – Mr Romney won a landslide
victory there in 2008, taking 60 per cent of the vote – the night’s results
did little to prise away his claim to be the race’s overwhelming
front-runner, with the lead in delegates, money and organisation.
His status as the most credible potential nominee was underscored by the
phalanx of Secret Service bodyguards who leapt into action when glitter was
thrown at him as he shook hands in Denver.
But the results once again raised questions about the unwillingness of the
Republican party’s conservative wing to accept Mr Romney as their nominee
and were yet another sign that the race could stretch out for months to
come.
The biggest loser of the night was Mr Gingrich, who came last in Minnesota and
looked likely to manage only third in Colorado. His defeat at the hands of
Mr Santorum means he will once again be forced to tussle for the role of
‘conservative alternative’ to Mr Romney – a mantle he had hoped to seize
decisively with his sole victory in South Carolina.
Mr Gingrich did not campaign heavily in either Minnesota or Colorado and spent
the evening in Ohio, where he did not deliver a post-results speech.
