Is Trump awesome or what?

[shakey1]

not a poll option.

Maybe it should be.

After spending 30 years in congress he still didn't know how the game is played.

He knew how the game was played and chose not to play it.

Ron Paul would've been a great president.

If Sanford loses his race because of Trump tonight, I wish AIDS and cancer on him.

Jesse in the Whitehouse calling shots would have been great.

Trump supported candidates have a mixed record.

Wasn't Sanford in some sex scandal as Governor? Katie Arrington has an early lead with 12% of votes in.

This is quite a bit different. Sanford has continuously attacked Trump and the whole campaign by Sanford's opponent was that he was an obstacle for Trump. And it was already have an effect in that district.

Yes. Just like Ron Paul had his own little scandals. I tend to think of their impeccable voting records instead because that's what actually matters.

If he loses it's his own fault for staking out anti-Trump positions in order to represent an overwhelmingly pro-Trump constituency.

Unfortunately there isn't room in either party for moderates. Everybody has moved to the extremes.

Sanford is about the least moderate member of Congress.

VOX says she is farther right than he is.

State lawmaker Katie Arrington is running a campaign to his far right, portraying him as, as Politico put it, “a disloyal Never Trumper.”

https://www.politico.com/magazine/st...profile-214791

He worked for weeks alongside Sen. Rand Paul to prepare a House companion bill to replace Obamacare, and introduced it this month as the conservatives’ legislative vehicle of choice. And from a tactical and ideological standpoint, he is already viewed as a leader of the GOP resistance: In conversations since Election Day with leaders of the congressional right, Sanford is universally mentioned as one of the few House Republicans who looks forward to future confrontations with Trump. “Sanford will never back down,” Justin Amash, his colleague and fellow Tea Party troublemaker, tells me.

What concerns Sanford on a fundamental level—“the danger” of Trump’s presidency, he says— is that “historically there’s incredible deference to the presidency from the party in power.” He understands the reluctance of rank-and-file Republicans to criticize a president who “has a proven record of taking people down.” But, he says, there must be a muscular check on Trump from somewhere inside the GOP. He was encouraged to see Speaker Paul Ryan push back on him throughout 2016, but equally disheartened to see him willingly subjugated after the election results came in. “I admired his conviction in the campaign,” Sanford says of Ryan. However, he adds, “at the end of the day, radio silence is not sustainable in being true to yourself.”

Not looking good- with 61% in she leads 51% to 45% and that hasn't changed much all night.

Because they are $#@!ing stupid. It is as simple as that. They think a moderate is someone who criticizes the party. They don't differentiate between Mitt Romney and Mark Sanford.

You could probably make a legit case that Sanford is one of the ten most conservative members in the history of Congress.

But do it in Japanese. Every poll should have a "Nani?" option.

I found this fascinating about South Carolina politics:

https://www.vox.com/2018/6/12/174489...primary-ballot

As things currently stand, voters in South Carolina don’t need to identify themselves as Democrats, independents, or Republicans. Any voter can participate in any party primary that piques their interest, leading to a fair share of “crossover” voting.

“It really is fun in South Carolina because you actually have to think about the voters you’re trying to communicate and target,” South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Trav Robertson told the Charleston Post and Courier. “It’s prevented a lot of the craziness we see in other states. I’d very much hate to change that characteristic of South Carolina.”

There is a ballot question seeking to change that. California does have open primaries but you still register either with a party or unaffiliated. There are as many registered as "unaffiliated" as Republicans in the state.

Trump should be doing more to stop the Central American invasion.

Doesn't sound like unaffiliated will be voting democrat.

Now if only Ron Paul was an alpha male. He'd be unstoppable.

There used to be rumors during Monica Lewisnky scandal days that Clinton was alpha male. But was as big an alpha male as MAGA? Doubtful.

After spending 30 years in congress he still didn't know how the game is played.

Maybe he does and was just not willing to give up his principles in order to go to WH. It' a puppet show still to a great extent.

Polling on RPF has Trump as Yes , Awesome .

There is no option for "what".
