Donald Trump is confused about Rick Santorum (Joshua Roberts/Reuters)
Considering last night's shellacking of Mitt Romney by Rick Santorum and a Republican base that hates him, Romney really needs come up with some better surrogates:
Said [Donald] Trump: "Rick Santorum was a sitting senator who in re-election lost by 19 points, to my knowledge the most in the history of this country for a sitting senator to lose by 19 points. It's unheard of. Then he goes out and says oh 'okay' I just lost by the biggest margin in history and now I'm going to run for president. Tell me, how does that work? ... So, I don't get Rick Santorum. I don't get that whole thing."
Really? That's the argument The Donald chose to go with? That Santorum lost his last election ... unlike, say, Mitt Romney having his ass handed to him by John McCain in 2008?
Keep trying, fellas ...
