Santorum endorsed Rubio on Wednesday. Santorum can't name any of Rubio's Senate accomplishments 
  
 Rick Santorum had one job to do in his appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Thursday. He failed. 
  
 The former Pennsylvania senator, who dropped his presidential bid Wednesday, told co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski he is supporting Marco Rubio’s presidential campaign because the Florida senator is someone “who can work together with people.” But Santorum struggled to name one accomplishment Rubio has had in the Senate.

 “He’s been in the Senate for four years,” Scarborough noted. “Can you name his top accomplishment in the Senate — actually working in the Senate doing something that tilted your decision to Marco Rubio?” 
  
 “If you look at being in the minority in the United States Senate in a year when nothing got — four years where nothing got done, I guess it’s hard to say there are accomplishments,” Santorum said. “I mean, tell me what happened during that four years that was an accomplishment for anybody? It was complete gridlock.” 
  
 Scarborough shot back that Republicans have been in the majority for the past two years and asked what Rubio has accomplished there since being part of the majority. “Joe, look, the Republicans have been in the majority for one year and one month, of which, as you know, he was running for president primarily,” Santorum said. “The first four years he was in the minority, and nothing got done. And by the way, what happened this year under the Republicans?” 
  
 Scarborough insisted he wasn’t defending Congress or being difficult in his questioning. “I’m just asking you to name one accomplishment that Marco Rubio —” Scarborough said as Santorum tried to interrupt. “But list one accomplishment. Just one. Just one that Marco achieved. Maybe a bill that he wrote. Maybe a moment in a committee.” 
  
 Brzezinski then jumped in to make it easier on Santorum, offering a fill-in-the-blank question. “Jeb Bush ran Florida. Donald Trump built a company,” she began. “Marco Rubio... — finish the sentence.” 
  
 “OK, Marco Rubio was, No. 1, the speaker of the Florida House, which is not something that’s a minor deal,” Santorum answered. “I mean, he was elected by his colleagues to be the speaker of the House. No. 2, yeah, he spent four years in the United States Senate being frustrated like everybody else that nothing got done, and then you can’t point to him and say well nothing got done and therefore he has no accomplishments.” 
  
 That argument is “bogus,” Santorum said, slamming the “feckless Congress.” 
  
 “It’s actually not a bogus argument,” Scarborough said. “All I’m asking is a simple question. I’ll ask it one more time, and don’t attack me because we’ve been friends for a very long time.” 
  
 “No, no, no, let me ask the question one more time,” Scarborough said as Santorum tried to interrupt. “List one accomplishment that Marco Rubio has achieved in four years in the United States Senate. It doesn’t even have to be a passed bill.” 
  
 “Well, I know he included something that went after the insurance companies in the most recent omnibus. I know that he fought for that to stop bailing out insurance companies,” Santorum said. “That’s one thing that I’m familiar with that I just saw recently, but — and again, he was on the campaign trail and accomplished that. The bottom line is there isn’t a whole lot of accomplishments, Joe, and I just don’t think it’s a fair question.” 
  
 Since the 2010 elections, when Scarborough appeared to back Rubio’s opponent, Charlie Crist, relations have been frosty. Rubio has refused to go on the show, and Scarborough frequently bashes Rubio on air. A source familiar with Thursday’s appearance said Santorum would have been dissuaded from appearing had upper-level campaign staff known about it. 
  
 “He took a s---,” one Rubio insider said of Santorum’s appearance. 
  
 Rubio defended Santorum later Thursday, emphasizing that the former Pennsylvania senator had endorsed him only a day ago. “Rick just signed onto the campaign, so obviously he's working with us and, you know, we'll have to continue to work on telling our story,” Rubio said on Fox News. “And obviously Rick’s going to be a big part of doing that. I'm proud of what I've done in public service.”

 "The reality of it is the American Dream is still alive. It is still healthy. We need a president who helps us get there and that guy is Marco Rubio," Scott said 
  
 Washington (CNN) Sen. Marco Rubio is defending his record in Congress after Rick Santorum, now a Rubio backer, struggled to name any legislative accomplishments by the Florida senator. 
  
 Rubio, under sharp criticism from former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, downplayed Santorum's inability to name a single legislative accomplishment of his. 
  
 "Let's be fair to Rick. I mean, he has spent the past year and a half running for president and his campaign, and he just endorsed us last night," Rubio told reporters in Manchester on Thursday. 
  
 Rubio then vaguely said he had "real achievements," and repeated his arguments that he's shown "better judgment" on national security issues than his rivals. 
  
 Earlier Thursday, Santorum, who ended his presidential campaign earlier this week after fairing poorly in the Iowa caucuses, said "it's hard" to name a significant accomplishment that Rubio has had in the Senate. He did say that Rubio has "tremendous potential and gifts."

Marco Rubio’s accomplishments while serving five years as a U.S. senator representing Florida, Rick Santorum – who just endorsed the GOP lawmaker after bowing out of the presidential race himself on Wednesday – struggled to come up with any during an appearance Thursday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” 
  
 Santorum floundered right off the bat when asked to list Rubio’s “top accomplishment” while in office. “Well, I mean, I would just say that this is a guy who’s been able to, No. 1, win a tough election in Florida and pull people together from a variety of different spots. This is a guy that I think can work together with people,” he said. “That’s the thing I like about him the most.” 
  
 Yet host Joe Scarborough didn’t ask which personal quality of Rubio’s Santorum liked the most. He asked for just one standout accomplishment – so he pressed the former Pennsylvania senator again: “So he can win, but he’s been in the Senate for four years. Can you name his top accomplishment in the Senate, actually working in the Senate doing something that tilted your decision to Marco Rubio?”

 Santorum danced around the question for a second time, concluding that “I guess it’s hard to say there are accomplishments” when a junior senator is working in a government “where nothing gets done.” 
  
 “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski called the exchange with Santorum “disturbing.” 
  
 Meanwhile, Scarborough brought up the fact that Republicans have been in the Senate majority for the past two years, and asked for a third time: “Can you name one thing that he’s passed in the last two years?” eventually pleading with Santorum to “like one accomplishment – just one, just one – that Marco achieved.” 
  
 Santorum then blamed President Obama for Rubio’s lack of accomplishments in the Senate, saying “he spent four years in the United States Senate being frustrated like everybody else that nothing got done, and then you can’t point to him and say nothing got done and therefore he has no accomplishments. The problem is we have a president who doesn’t work with people.” 
  
 Eventually, however, Santorum did offer an example of a Rubio achievement, albeit a vague one. 
  
 “Well, I know he included something that went after the insurance companies in the most recent omnibus. He fought for that, to stop bailing out insurance companies. That’s one thing I’m familiar that I just saw recently, ” he said. “But – and again, he was on the campaign trail and accomplished that. The bottom line is there isn’t a lot of accomplishments, Joe, and I just don’t think it’s a fair question to say.” 
  
 A Rubio aide asked by NBC to comment on Santorum’s struggle to come up with an accomplishment simply offered a list of examples of legislation Rubio passed and signed into law in recent years, including VA accountability reform and Obamacare bailout. The aide had not yet seen the interview. 
  
 In his endorsement Wednesday, Santorum called Rubio a “born leader” who represents ”the new generation” during an appearance on the Fox News program “On the Record With Greta Van Susteren.” The former senator decided to suspend his campaign just days after the Iowa Caucus – the third Republican to do so this week. 
  
 New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who joined “Morning Joe” later in the hour, used Santorum’s interview to his advantage, saying flatly, “Rubio hasn’t accomplished one thing in his career.” 
  
 The presidential candidate then listed off some of his own accomplishments, adding, “and Rick Santorum can’t name one thing Marco Rubio’s done. I will tell you one thing Marco Rubio’s done – he’s made it very clear on the issue of pro-life – Marco Rubio is not for an exception for rape, incest or the life of a mother. Now, you know, I think that’s the kind of position that New Hampshire voters would be really concerned about.” 
  
 Donald Trump’s campaign manager was eager to jump on Santorum’s interview as well, retweeting the “Morning Joe” video early Thursday morning. |||||
Output:
Ouch. New non-candidate Rick Santorum may have endorsed Marco Rubio, but he's apparently not well versed on Rubio's work. While on MSNBC's Morning Joe Thursday, co-host Joe Scarborough asked Santorum to name Rubio's "top accomplishment" in the Senate, reports Politico. Santorum balked. "The first four years he was in the minority, and nothing got done," he said. Scarborough responded that Republicans have been in the majority for the past two years. "List one accomplishment. Just one. Just one that Marco achieved," he pressed. Santorum said Rubio was elected speaker of the House in Florida, "which is not something that's a minor deal," but Scarborough wouldn't back down. "List one accomplishment" in the Senate, he said. "It doesn't even have to be a passed bill." Santorum eventually said: "Well, I know he included something that went after the insurance companies in the most recent omnibus. He was on the campaign trail and accomplished that." Santorum added that Rubio "can work together with people" and has "tremendous potential and gifts," per CNN, and he called Scarborough's question unfair. Rubio himself didn't seem bothered publicly. “Rick just signed onto the campaign, so obviously he's working with us and, you know, we'll have to continue to work on telling our story,” he said on Fox News.
