"He's right...you know that?"

The bell in the Independence Hall tower rang at 9 a.m., and Mark Sanford took a deep breath. He grabbed a giant check for “one trillion dollars,” stood next to a tiny wooden lectern, and asked me if I was ready for him to kick off a news conference announcing his bid to challenge President Donald Trump in the 2020 Republican primary.
It didn’t really feel like a news conference. I was the only reporter there.
And when it began, the only others around besides his two aides were a family 30 yards away with a selfie stick and a group of students from Paris who wanted to know why he had such a big check. (Answer: It represented the burden of the national debt.)
The former South Carolina congressman and governor — perhaps best known for disappearing from office for six days in 2009 to visit a paramour in Argentina — launched his long-long-long-shot presidential campaign Wednesday in a gloomy Philadelphia. The launch also served to kick off his "Kids, We’re Bankrupt and We Didn’t Even Know It” tour — a 3,500-mile, weeklong road trip he hopes will “spark a needed conversation” within the Republican Party about spending and debt.

Mark Sanford should......
......Take A Hike!
Well, it's a start. Next month the news might report his turnout doubled.
*snickers*

Grahamnesty, McCarthy, and all the other GOPe scum should take note.
Mark needs a Snickers. He’s delusional when he’s hungry.
“Please clap.”
This thread at 25 posts has that many times interest than he did in Philly.
Going to be the shortest campaign in history
Not even his sizzling Argentine girlfriend showed up?
More than he deserves. Nicely written piece too, thanks for posting this.
Just wait until his next rally when two people show up. The fake news media will claim “Sanford’s support has doubled!”
If a politician falls on his face, and there’s nobody there to hear him... did he really make a sound?
Don’t read the Philly Bird Cage Rag...was it one including Mark, or besides him?
CNN: Our original crowd estimate was one hundred thousand. After presented with clear evidence we have revised our estimate to two.
Was the person that showed up his current mistress?
I heard his next campaign stop is the Appalachian trail.

Savage. I love it.
