A highly publicized extramarital affair didn’t end Mark Sanford’s political career. Nor did the revelation, less than a month before a 2013 special election for Congress, that he had to go to court because his ex-wife had accused him of trespassing. The National Republican Congressional Committee’s decision to cut off funding to him that year was also not a fatal blow. He won his next elections.
Then came Donald Trump.
Sanford has been one of the president’s most vocal Republican critics in Congress, and Republican primary voters punished him for it. Sanford lost Tuesday night to Katie Arrington, a state representative who made public support for Trump — and Sanford’s lack thereof — a central issue of her campaign.
"I've always been a realist, and at this point, based on the numbers I see, I think that I'll end up losing this election," Sanford said at his election night party, a little over an hour before the AP called the race.

As much as I liked him as governor then, he should have been in jail or something for that stunt.
Oh, so that was the guy who claimed to be hiking the Appalachian trail when he was really boning a Latina in South America at the time?
*APPLAUSE*
Best. Election. Ever. EVER! MAGA! :)
First Pittenger here in NC, now it looks like Sanford in SC...
It would be nice if worthless POS’s like Burr, Tillis, and Graham would sit up and take notice.
Primary takeaways: Women keep winning and a Trump tweet can be fatal
This is in the upper part of the article: Some folks who were not feeling the sting of defeat? Women, particularly Democratic women, who won primary elections across the country.
Instead of getting aboard the Trump Train he stood in front of it and got ran over.
Yeah, he can get George Soros’ number from John McCain.
Can Katie win? I have not seen that discussed here.
Very interesting!
Mark, now you can visit Argentina or hike the Appalachian trail without anyone caring, so take a hike and get lost.
Sounds like good news. Maybe the other rogue RINO never Trumpers will get the message.
McTurdel’s day is coming too.

with 50.5% does that mean she wins the seat outright or is this just the republican primary?
I have to say, things feel different. You’ve been around a while. The world feels like it is getting better. I haven’t felt this way since I was in High School.
I haven’t had a drink yet either.
“Bush League Republicans must become extinct before the Republic does.”
Right you are.
From top to bottom.
I hope Graham and Scott are paying attention.
YES!
Buh-bye ... anti-Trump a$$ wipe!
WINNING!
All of SC’s Congressional delegation are Cheap Labor Express stooges and all Bush League Republicans everywhere MUST be removed from office, if we want to keep our country.
“Watching Trump gut Jeb was a pleasure.”
indeed it was ... it was almost not fair the way Trump effortlessly eviscerated the clueless, bewildered Jeb on the public stages during the debates ... it was like Jeb kept thinking to himself: “This can’t be happening. I’m a Bush. I’m SUPPOSED to be next. I have a 93 million dollar war chest. All the GOP power brokers have lined up behind me. All the GOP power brokers HATE Trump ...”
