Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, who announced he will launch a longshot primary bid for the 2020 Republican nomination, argues that the growing field of Republicans challenging President Trump strengthens their anti-Trump message.
"I think it strengthens it. What the administration is basically said -- what the Trump campaign has said is: it was just Bill Weld for a while, it's a voice crying in the wilderness, it's -- pay it no attention.
" Sanford identified a number of those areas during his CNN appearance on Monday, saying he thinks his party is"not having a conversation on debt, deficit and government spending, which used to be a cornerstone to what the Republican Party was about." He also said Republicans need to place more attention on the"institutions, the framework of government" and have a conversation about"humility and tone in the office, which I think this president misses.
