"GOP lawmaker Mark Sanford (S.C.) said the unyielding supporting Republicans are giving President Trump is a "cancerous growth" on the party.

Once Trump gets into the heads of these people they are ruined. Good for nothing. Hating Trump becomes their fetish.
It’s almost funny watching them if it were not so pathetic.
Check out my tag: ‘Obama called us clingers. Hillary used deplorable. FBI said lazy POS. Trump calls us Americans.’

“Why would a solid, conservative, Christian family man Congressman give an interview to Rolling Stone two days after losing an election?”
The question answers itself does it not?
Meanwhile, in related news, Katie Arrington is enjoying a successful ride on the Trump Train.
“He plans to switch parties?”
That’s as good an explanation as any. Rolling Stone...
Hey Sanford, go take a hike on the Appalachian Trail and take Lindsey Graham with you!
Pack up your junk and go home, Sanford, you pathetic, out-of-touch, politician.
John needs to add a Thumbs Up! button.
Is anything coming out of SC any good??
" What went wrong ( with you )"
Mark Sanford is a typical politician of little note who feels he should have been elected and when he wasn't he trashes his President AND by doing so, his country.
Mark Sanford is restricted in character i.e., a little man.
But support for Obama by the media and hollywierd and fear of Obama by the entire GOP was a good thing?
Say Markie why don’t you actually go hike the Appalachian Trail?
What’s next? Will he write a book entitled “WHAT HAPPENED?”
