Obama: "if you like your doctor, you can keep him. If you like your plan, you can keep it. Obamacare will LOWER healthcare costs. I will close Guantanamo my first year." STFU you massive whiny hypocrite.

Hi Bill,

Former congressman Mark Sanford announced Sunday that he will challenge President Trump in the 2020 Republican primary, becoming the third GOP contender in the race to unseat the incumbent.

Sanford made the announcement in an appearance on “Fox News Sunday.”

“I am here to tell you now that I am going to get in,” he said.

Sanford, a former South Carolina governor who represented the state’s 1st Congressional District in the House until earlier this year, had been mulling a bid against the president for weeks.

He joins former Massachusetts governor Bill Weld, who launched a bid against Trump in April seeking to appeal to traditional Republican voters, and former Illinois congressman Joe Walsh, who announced last month that he will challenge the president not from the center but from the right and on moral grounds.

Trump’s presidential campaign dismissed Sanford’s entry into the race.

“Irrelevant,” Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh said.

The president remains immensely popular among Republican voters: According to a Monmouth University poll released last month, 84 percent of Republicans approve of

Trump’s job performance. His highest recent approval mark among fellow Republicans was 88 percent in a Fox News poll of registered voters in early August.

Those numbers would suggest that, like other Trump challengers, Sanford has lower odds of actually defeating the president than of successfully criticizing him in a way that could affect the general election.

Limiting government spending was a key focus of Sanford’s time in public office. And he has previously said he was motivated to consider a bid against Trump out of concern over the federal debt and deficit.

On Sunday, he said the country needs to have a conversation about the “degree to which institutions and political culture are being damaged by this president.”

Asked by host Chris Wallace whether he seriously thinks he has a chance of beating Trump, Sanford responded, “I’m saying, you never know.”

“I’m listing my goals, my primary goals, to say, let’s go out and force — or try and create — a conversation on that which is not being talked about in this presidential cycle. ... The thing that has been lacking in this debate has been an earnest and real conversation on debt and deficits and government spending,” he said.

The only problem with making the debt your main focus is that Republicans don't care about the debt.

Hello Darth,

With approval numbers hovering around 90% what needs fixed for Trump lol?

Those approval numbers are largely from people who don't know they have other choices, and are simply assuming they are to choose between Trump or Democrats.

Hello Darth,

Jobs, freedom and Merica first!

Doesn't freedom include having elections?

If so, then why are Republicans canceling them?

[PoliTalker]

Hello cawacko,

And you think Joe Walsh and Mark Sanford are real options?

There are no options because no one replaces a sitting President in a primary.

There is no such law.

[Jarod]

The polls currently show Biden will be Trump in the 2020 election, maybe we should cancel those elections? Seems they would be pointless

[cawacko]

Hello cawacko,



There is no such law.

Never said or suggested there was

Hi Bill,

Yep, tea partiers like Walsh were on a jihad a few years about it, now they don't care about it..

A real testament to American politics.....

What is important is what the party tells you is important @ the time....... Hardly different than Jehovah Witnesses changing their tales every other year or so......
