I thought he was still walking the Appalachian Trail. He might as well be.

Sanford was once my favorite prospect for President before he went nuts and was unfaithful to his wife.
Glad he is a solid member of the Freedom caucus. I don't think Trump can hurt him anymore than he once hurt himself.

The man was in love, maybe for the first time. Even after being married with 4 sons. Democrats do crap like that all the time but Sanford followed his heart and had to deal with the collateral damage which was considerable. Make it right? Nope. People in the upper classes can carry out their whims.

What kind of party supports an Immoral Hack like Mark Sanford?
To: ChicagoConservative27
"The president asked me to look you square in the eyes and to say that he hoped that you voted no on this bill so he could run (a primary challenger) against you in 2018,'" Sanford said Mulvaney told him."
It almost sounds like the President does not respect a public servant who lied about hiking the AT.

He's perfect for Congress. He will do whatever his string pullers direct. It may be then that Trump early on was legitimately inclined to replace Sanford with a bona fide R.
But using an action by Sanford that most of us would applaud as justification would seem contrary what appears at the sidewalk level as a bona fide agenda of the FC.

Mark Sanford may be a nut, but if Trump wants to primary Dave Brat, he will make political opponents out of previous supporters.

President Trump did the same thing with Marla Maples.

Sanford is a creepy cheating POS. Who cares what happens to him.

No one seems to remember how much fun we had back when then-Governor Mark Sanford told his wife he was hiking on the Appalachian Trail, when in fact he was off banging his “soul mate” and AWOL long enough they sent the cops out to look for him.
Then there was having to resign as Gov. under threat of impeachment if he didn’t..
Funny how being a member of the falling-apart Freedom Caucus seems to trump all of that...because — “he’s a principled Conservative”.

Sanford didn’t vote against RyanCare, so this doesn’t matter.

If you mean having an affair - was Trump also in a position of public trust? You know better than to try to equate these two.

Sanford didn’t resign. He finished his term as Governor.

Anyway Sanford did the right thing on RINOcare.

President Trump is making a BIGLY RINO mistake here.
