Mark Sanford announces GOP presidential bid: ‘We have lost our way’
2019-09-09
[POLITICO] Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford on Sunday announced he will challenge Donald Trump
...the Nailer of NAFTA...
 for the Republican Party’s 2020 presidential nomination becoming the third member of his party to do so.

Sanford told "Fox News Sunday" he believes the GOP needs to have a conversation about what it means to be a Republican, adding, "We have lost our way."

The former governor, who was also a congressman from 1995 to 2001 and 2013 to 2019, highlighted a need to discuss the country’s ballooning debt and deficits, as well as Trump’s turn toward trade protectionism.

"One of the hallmarks of the Republican Party and the conservative movement has always been: How much do we spend?" Sanford said, offering a nod to the famed University of reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
 economist Milton Friedman.

The candidate also said he wants to shine a light on how "institutions and political culture are being damaged by this president."
