Mark Sanford announces GOP presidential bid: ‘We have lost our way’
[POLITICO] Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford on Sunday announced he will challenge Donald Trump
...the Nailer of NAFTA...
 for the Republican Party’s 2020 presidential nomination becoming the third member of his party to do so.

Sanford told "Fox News Sunday" he believes the GOP needs to have a conversation about what it means to be a Republican, adding, "We have lost our way."

The former governor, who was also a congressman from 1995 to 2001 and 2013 to 2019, highlighted a need to discuss the country’s ballooning debt and deficits, as well as Trump’s turn toward trade protectionism.

"One of the hallmarks of the Republican Party and the conservative movement has always been: How much do we spend?" Sanford said, offering a nod to the famed University of reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
 economist Milton Friedman.

The candidate also said he wants to shine a light on how "institutions and political culture are being damaged by this president."

#1 Once again: not a single word about the plight of the American people. All he can think about are the interests of his own people, and that's as far as his horizons go.

#5 Mark Sanford lost his way when he betrayed his family for a house wrecker, adulterous woman from Argentina.
Mark Sanford then showed his true colors when he opposed the so called "Muslim emigration ban" of Donald Trump
which would help prevent rewarding people who hate America by giving them US citizenship
so they could use our freedoms to undermine our country.
Promotion of the emigration of people into the United States of people who I consider to be anti-American
was a favorite program of Obama because Obama hates Christians just like he hates the state of Israel.
That is why Obama did what he did.
What is Sanford's motivation for challenging Trump?
Is it better than an Argentinian affair?

#14 "highlighted a need to discuss the country’s ballooning debt and deficits,"

Hopefully Sanford's failed run will force Trump to take a deficit reduction turn in his second turn.

#15 ...I'd say the voters returning a Congress so oriented since they are the 'purse' of the republic. However, since the GOPe controlled both the house and executive for many years, I didn't see any real attempt to solve the deficit issue. Won't be solved till it implodes and the people reject indentured servitude for the generosity of the ruling class.

#16 If collusion, Globalism, corruption, and the fleecing of the taxpayers is the "way", then I agree, America has lost its way.

#17 I'm encouraged. Imagine the pressure from the NeverTrumpers to get a viable alternative -- and this is the best they can do.

#18 And Sanders is just the guy to lead the Pubs out of the wilderness (sarc)? That's rich. Maybe he should think about changing parties and become one of the horde of horrible Dems running.
