Trump GOP Challengers Challenge the GOP
“The saying ‘may the best man win’ is a quintessential value that the Republican Party must honor if we are to command the respect of the American people. Cowards run from fights.”
— Mark Sanford, Joe Walsh, and Bill Weld, writing in the Washington Post that the Republican Party has “taken a wrong turn” in canceling primaries.
Sanford: Trump Has ‘Unearthed Some Demons’
“Respectfully, I’d submit that the president has unearthed some demons. I’ve talked to a number of people about it back home. They say, ‘Well, look, if the president can say whatever, why can’t I say whatever?’ He’s given them license… There is a total weirdness out there.”
— Rep. Mark Sanford (R-SC), quoted by the Washington Post.
Trump’s Obsession with the ‘Small and Unimportant’
In campaign world, rapid response is vital. In governance, it can be lethal if it’s in reaction to things small and unimportant. It just strikes me as crazy that the soon-to-be leader of the free world would be waking up each morning this weekend and tweeting comments about what someone said at a play in New York.
— Rep. Mark Sanford (R-SC), on Facebook.
Wronged Wives Stick Together
As a person and as a woman and as a wife, I’ve been through the painful reality of marriage with a troubled individual and having it in the press. My heart goes out to her.
— Jenny Sanford, quoted by the Washington Post, on Anthony Weiner’s wife, Huma Abedin.
Sanford Win Proves South Carolina is Still One Whacked State
I want to acknowledge a God not just of second chances. But a God of third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth chances because that is the reality of our shared humanity.
— Rep.-elect Mark Sanford (R-SC), quoted by The State, in his special election victory speech last night.
Proof That S.C. Voters Should Never, Ever Get Back Together With Former Gov. Mark Sanford
Former Gov. Mark Sanford’s braying jackassiness shone through in his recent debate with opponent Elizabeth Colbert-Busch. Both are running from South Carolina for a seat in the United States House of Representatives.
The election is Tuesday, May 7, and polls show Busch expanding her lead or tying with Sanford, depending on the political affiliations of the pollsters. Either way, Sanford is no longer going into the election with an air of inevitability.
Come on South Carolina! Every seat in Congress counts, and it’s time to stop sending fiscal hypocrites and knee-jerk “NO!” ninnies* to Washington, and then wondering why nothing gets done there.
*With all due respect to the late Vice Pres. Spiro Agnew.
