Cruz Snags Last-Minute Endorsement of Mark Sanford
The Weekly Standard ^ | February 20, 2016 | John McCormack

Posted on 02/19/2016 10:12:24 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Charleston, S.C., As Sean Hannity stood onstage Friday with Ted Cruz before a packed audience at the College of Charleston's Sotille Theater, the Fox News host announced that "a few special guests" were backstage. "Moments before we came out here, you got a big endorsement," Hannity said. With less than 24 hours until the South Carolina GOP primary, Congressman Mark Sanford, the state's former governor, emerged from behind a velvet curtain.

The crowd went wild, and Sanford then spoke for one minute about why he was supporting Cruz. Sanford mentioned the importance of upholding the Constitution and how impressed he was that Cruz came out against ethanol subsidies in Iowa. "We need another fighter in Washington," Sanford said. He then slipped back behind the curtain....

For all those Evangelical Christians who approve so much of cheating with your spouse that you abandon your job, but tell everyone you are hiking the Appalachian Trail...

He's pinin' for the fjords, he is.

Do you get like $20 a post?

I'm sure if you contact the Cruz campaign, they'll match it. He's rich enough, you know; his wife works for Goldman Sucks.

Yes, late night sarcasm. I think everyone's biting their nails over this, since no two of the recent polls seems agree on any candidate's percentage...

Then how come his Ex-wives still support Donald? Obviously his divorces were on amicable terms

Adultery is OK as long as the wife Trump cheated on later supports him?

How does that work?

By that standard, Bill Clinton's serial adultery was OK, too.

Yeah, with Cruz (I am born again Christian—says so on stage) and Daddy Robertson (Bible and Guns got us here) Duck Commander, to see Sanford being embraced for his endorsement was a real shocker! If Cruz is so faithful and classy, why didn’t he just say thanks but no thanks to Sanford...because he doesn’t care and wants as many votes as he can get regardless.

I will admit when I read this, my biggest question was whether Sanford was actually there in person, or sending down his endorsement from a ‘remote’ location.

Sanford was given a standing ovation from the audience.

I enjoy your posts too. I often have a visual of you spinning around to face a poster face to face.
Continued irony/hypocrisy without limit. I hear lots of SC voters not happy with the trutherism, tomorrow will be fun.

I will give Trump my vote if I must but I would rather have a constitutional lawyer as there has already been serious damage done to our constitution by current and past administrations and someone with knowledge of the constitution will be of the utmost importance in my opinion.
****************************************
Last night I saw an exerpt of a Trump interview where he said the most realistic/sane I’ve heard from him. He was asked about selecting his VP if he is the nominee.

He stated he would have to select a politician who knows how all that works in DC, as he is just a businessman and not a politician. Cruz would be a great VP, if it comes to that.

Why would he want the endorsement of that scumbag? Sanford should be deported to Syria.

Wait- IIRC he was on a hiking trip but really wasn’t and was shacking up with some women when questions arose to his whereabouts. That guy?.

He cheated on his wife then left his family for some women overseas? That guy? Him? Cheater and liar? Ok

It’s kind of interesting that back in 2013 liberal New York primary voters sent the likes of Weiner and Spitzer packing after their scandals. Conservative South Carolinians chose to send Sanford to DC after his scandal.

He ultimately broke up with her. I wonder if he thinks it was worth it.

Any ways, since the endorsements of __ by __ always erupts into a tit for tat of , "oh yeah, well, your guy blah blah blah ", I submit this endorsement of Mr. Sanford.

Larry Flynt Endorses Mark Sanford, 'America's Great Sex Pioneer'
