Rick Santorum wasnt impressed with President Donald Trumps decision to nominate Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, and he doesnt think the presidents base will be excited with the announcement either.
The Republican former senator was on CNN tonight where he held a rousing debate with Jennifer Granholm, as they offered their first thoughts on Trumps pick to replace retiring justice Anthony Kennedy. When asked for his final take, Santorum seemed rather glum as he assessed that Kavanaugh is too much of Washington insider to fire up Trumps base.
Donald Trump said he was going to energize the base with this pick, I dont think he did that, Santorum said. It just seems like Trump in this case just bowed to the elite in Washington. I think thats going to rub a lot of people the wrong way.

(11,235 posts)Santorum may or may not be a part of that, but hearing this kind of thing leads to people wondering whether Kavanaugh can really be that bad if someone odious enough doesn't like him.
