Donald Trump may have another republican primary challenger, and it’s a name you may have heard of: Mark Sanford. The former Republican congressman and governor of South Carolina tells Ari why he’s considering taking on Trump for the White House, and talks why he believes we’re headed for a financial disaster.

Mark Sanford Blasts GOP’s ‘Conspiracy Of Silence’ On Trump | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC
Did Mark Sanford vote for the Trump tax cuts? YES. In fact, he voted with Trump 70% of the time. Sanford is Trump Lite. He should take another hike on the Appalachian Trail or wherever he was hiding out with his mistress. He was and still is MIA.
Google it, Billy Boy Boob.@Bill Sanderson
@judd442009 Erica Thomas should run.
Вы очень невежественны. Вы понимаете? He ran again for the U.S. House and served from 2013 to 2019
Sanford and Trump have at least one thing in common – they both cheated on their wives. That said, Sanford has infinitely more credibility than Trump, for the simple reason that he can actually admit his mistakes.
Yeah just like ” I did not have sexual relationships with that woman Miss Lewinsky” And l did not stained that blue dress
👗👗👗👗😨👗👗👗👗
But after all he did admit it! 😲
Congress members ignoring the President’s attempts to overstep constitutional boundaries are violating their oath of office. Trump is the Typhoid Mary of rationalizing irrational behavior. Has the systematization of error become contagious? The root issue shading our nation is Trump’s aversion to personal integrity. Budget approach is but a symptom.
Yes, and they render themselves unfit by doing so, along with parroting Trump’s lies and flagrantly ignoring our Constitution, laws and Rights-along with the sworn duties of the offices they occupy.
In this short clip it is clear Mark Stanford would be a better President than Trump. More intelligent more articulate, more measured, more honest. But so would at least a million other Americans be!
@Geoff Gersbach Erica Thomas should run.
the gop is not afraid of trump. the gop is afraid of the donor class. they want to keep their jobs. vote the gop out. remember 78% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. therefor the economy has nothing to do with the main stream.
Yes, but the donors listen to tRump.
@Mark Haddox who wrote the below quote? Next, sorry to tell you, but fighting and hate is exactly what they want. if you fight, you lose because you are playing their game. Quote “If we understand the mechanisms and motives of the group mind, it is now possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without their knowing it In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons who understand the mental processes and …”
@PB Concerned Obviously not, the donations are significantly down.
Thank God!! Look only to McConnell.. 35 yrs in his seat and now a multi millionaire.. yet votes every time against a raise for the minimum wage.. voted for tax cuts for himself and corporations and other billionaires and millionaires but wants to bring the deficit down by gutting social security , medical care and other social services .. at least none of the programs that he or his family and friends have need of !! Why will people not see the travesty that is being perpetrated on working and poor peoples!!
Nope nobody heard of him, yeaaaaaa doesn’t ring a bell🤔
What planet have you been on the last 2 years?
@ElSmusso I’ve been on the planet of having a job and benefiting from the booming economy yeah also paying taxes but of course you wouldn’t know that planet because you’re still living in your mother’s basement 😂
I hope that Sanford does run a true Republican!!!
He’ll just be wasting his time
Thank you Mark Sanford, for pointing out the economic fallout from Trump’s “fiscal policies”
The more republicans that step up to run against him the better.
@Sue G Erica Thomas from GA should run.
It could get tricky though if a guy like Sanford ran as an Independent, assuming Trump get the Republican nomination. Were that to happen it is really hard to predict if more votes would be siphoned from Trump or the Democratic nominee. We live in strange, dark times.
Come on Sanford, the Tax Cut says it all.
democrats really need to just take a page out of the republican handbook here, when it comes to deficit spending by trump.
they need to start looking at the numbers, and then start talking about 86’ing some of the most expensive weapons programs.
either time to raise taxes to pay for em, or get rid of em and focus on newer, better, faster and cheaper technologies. but mainly cheaper.
trumps spending is out of control. we’re going to have to cut back on some weapons systems. theres really not even any debating that point right now. just concede it to me.
Please challenge him. It is looking unlikely that a republican can win. But you would be doing the country as service by taking some votes away from him.
The only way he can take votes away from Trump is to run as an independent.
Republican’s no longer worry about the deficit except when not in the White House! Bush Chaney trippled the Deficit! Trump Pence blew it off the chart with the tax cut for them selves and there buddies!
Tough job. But there are many intelligent, uncorrupt people in the US. They really need to join forces and find a few good candidates. I am not American, so can only observe from afar. So far, have seen no stand outs.
Trump is a gangster. An evil monster.
Tea Party darling. Lied to his entire state and his wife when he was governor of South Carolina that he was “hiking the Appalachian Trail” when he was actually cheating on his wife and boffing his girlfriend in Argentina. He’s a real character and a half. Talk about out of the frying pan (Trump) and into the fire (Sanford)…Our country deserves much better whether Republican OR Democrat. Give me John Kasich if we’re going to have a Republican. If Sanford is elected you can kiss your Medicare, Social Security, and Medicaid good-bye for sure.
Simiiformes yeah it’s amazing how these guys can keep popping their head up after doing some life altering BS that would bury the rest of us, and then be like, “vote for me, a man you can trust!” 😆🤦🏻♀️🙈
And the relevance of the opinion of this has been?
“Wollt ihr den totalen Krieg”… that line from Nazi Germany comes to mind when listening to Send Her Home….
PEOPLE. you had truly start getting prepared. Specialist have already stated that Iran, Cuba, China, and Venezuelan militants have been staging in South American training camps in the jungles and preparing themselves for the long trek into our southern border just like Helen of Troy THE TROJAN HORSE WAR MANEUVERS. They are already here.
You best be prepared to fight for your life.
Hey I’m a Sanders/ Warren supporter but I would contribute $5 bucks to Sanford’s and Weld’s campaign to get #45 out of the running.
