Claims he would have defeated Obama

Santorum gives an interview to Time about how he would have defeated Obama in 2012 had he won the GOP nomination, and the themes of his 2016 presidential run.

I would have been able to attract the voters in the states that mattered. Romney would probably do better than me in New Jersey and California and New York. But I’d do better in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Virginia—in the states that were going to decide the election. Look at how we did in Ohio in the primary. We got outspent by huge amounts. I didn’t run a single ad in the Cleveland market, and we still almost beat him in Ohio.
