They say elections have consequences, and if this is so, we should all be concerned over the recent primary along the coast of South Carolina. I know it well. I lost. I’ve been involved in politics for a long time in my state and have run and won in tough races. This one was like no other. The operative question was not about conservative policies that are normally the lifeblood of a Republican primary, but rather who on the ballot would more loyally support the president.

What this a-hole fails to grasp is that the people elected Donald J Trump. If he wants to act like a bitch and not support his agenda, gtfo. And basically that’s what the voters told him.

Maybe, just maybe, it’s about supporting the president’s policies, Mark. You know, because they want those policies and want a representative who represents their wants & needs.

This guy is WAY smarter than Democrats. He'll be okay. He's learning fast.

“More loyally support the president.” Like that is a bad thing when the voters in South Carolina helped elect Trump. These guys like Sanford are really misguided, foolish and completely out of touch if they think they can have a uniparty R behind their name and continue to trash Trump. Won’t work.

So? Trump is the president. He single-handedly brought your losing party back. All you did was sit around and bash him constantly. Is it any wonder voters had enough?

You mean Mark Sanford wrote a piece showing how he still does not understand why he lost his primary.

I can't think of anything more stupid than a politician insulting his voters. That is what killed Romney and Hillary.

We are going to have a lot of blame game articles from politicians who lost because of Trump.


He sounds just like Hillary

Even Sanford's ideological allies don't like him. He has always rubbed everyone around him the wrong way. It's a shame too, because from a policy standpoint he's closer to Ron Paul than anyone else. It's unfortunate that he's a jerk who no one likes.

You mean the president those same people elected and have ferociously stood behind while you carped and twiddled your thumbs?

Can't imagine why you didn't win

Cucks of the establishment AND the DNC/MSM Political Complex need to LEARN this, LIVE this, and LOVE this!

When the GOP establishment and the DNC/MSM Political Complex joined forces to destroy the Tea Party they lit the fuse of the Trump revolution. Boom be-itches!

Or, nobody is interested in your shitty losing brand of conservatism that has failed to 'conserve' anything wholesome about this once great society. Bakers getting ruined, sodomy parades in the public square, perverts LARP'ing as women in the girls bathroom, no prayer in schools, statues being torn down, and even after Trump shows you how to win, you desperately try to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory. Maybe try serving your constituents instead of your donors.

frick off, cuck.


Trump is 10x's the conservative you are. The people of the Low Country realize this and got what they wanted, someone who will (hopefully) support GEOTUS.
