I personally like Mark Sanford, he is an economic conservative like me. He focuses more on economic conservatism than social conservatism, which is declining nationally.
Had McCain picked Sanford as VP in 2008, he may have had a chance. But no one knew that Sanford had affairs with other women.
But if Sanford is comparing Trump to Hitler, that is a low for Sanford.
I voted for McCain only because of Sarah Palin. I suspect McCain would have lost by more than he did with this Uniparty douche on the ticket instead of Palin.

Stop. The nation knew DJT had affairs and he was elected because he was the political opposite of the two stiffs you mentioned.
Depends. One kind of economic conservatism is declining. Another kind is rising. And whether those trends will continue isn't certain.

Don't think so. Too slick and polished. Too privileged. Looks too country club. Named his kids Bolton, Blake, and Landon. Would not play well with ordinary Americans. Too Paul Ryan.
In a way, possibly not the way he intended, he’s not wrong.
Some have argued that the Tea Party was America asking nicely. If you have to wonder what it was they were asking, you’re not paying attention. The Tea Party was widely disparaged in the press, false aspersions cast, and then hijacked as well by opportunistic politicians to boost their election chances, who promptly went Full Swamp Dweller upon taking office.
The election of Donald Trump is America asking yet again, not so nicely this time. One of the best things about him is exposing the depth and breadth of utter douchebaggery in both parties, the press, and major intelligence or law enforcement. Very sad to witness, but it had to be done.
“We have to be careful” Well, yeah, for some values of “We” fella. WTF did you think was going to happen?
McQueeg never intended to win in 2008, so that’s a non-starter.
Give me a break!! Sarah Palin SAVED MCain from being a TOTAL DISASTER at the Voting Booth!! Mrk Sanford would not have gotten McInsane one more vote.
