Frothy Mix: Democracy Is “No Way To Run A Country”

“Remember these elections, off-year elections, odd number elections are very low turnout elections. They are base elections and the Democrats have traditionally, number one, outspent us, not just on odd number year elections, but generally speaking.

“Number two, their base is more ginned up to go out and vote generally than Republicans. We’ve seen this now for the last several years, and so a base election, they — Democrats — outspend, and you put very sexy things like abortion and marijuana on the ballot, and a lot of young people come out and vote.

“It was a secret sauce for disaster in Ohio. I don’t know what they were thinking, but um, that’s why I thank goodness that most of the states in this country don’t allow you to put everything on the ballot because pure democracies are not the way to run a country.” – Former GOP Sen. Rick Santorum, who had no issue with putting same-sex marriage on the ballot.

Rick Santorum is upset that Americans had an opportunity to vote on the things they actually care about. @atrupar.pic.twitter.com/3EiLJUNHtr
