Before the results came in for Tuesday night’s sweeping victory for Rick Santorum, real estate mogul and reality television star Donald Trump did not give the former Pennsylvania senator much thought on his impact in the Republican field.
On Wednesday, Trump noted Santorum's last Senate race where he lost reelection by a wide margin, saying it was like failing a test and then applying to the Wharton School of Economics.
“I don’t get Rick Santorum,” Trump said on CNN’s Early Start. “I don’t get that whole thing.”
Before the Nevada primary, Trump came out in support of Mitt Romney, and has since taken credit for Romney’s showing in the Silver State.

“Maybe a position where I negotiate against some of these countries because they're really taking our lunch,” he said.
