South Carolina Republican Rep. Mark Sanford lost his primary race on Tuesday night. Sanford lost to state Rep. Katie Arrington, and on primary afternoon, President Trump also took a swipe at the longtime Republican lawmaker. (video)
=================================================
Creepy to see Trump's popularity become cult-like in reality. I'm afraid for our democratic way of life.
 
How much does this have to do with Trump and how much does it have to do with Mark Sanford's reputation in South Carolina after abandoning his family to chase some Brazilian girl?

I wonder how many of those trump idiots in that cult voted against Sanford by saying he had an affair and they couldn't support that. :lol:

She was Argentinian. If you are going to weigh in with a smear, at least get your facts straight.

I saw the video of his opponent's victory speech & she emphasized that it was all about Trump. The Trump cult of personality seems a lot like the Hitler cult of personality.

Are we finally figuring out that Mr. President Trump and his followers are for real?

Trump behaves like an autocrat because he is one.

au·to·crat
ˈôdəˌkrat
noun
a ruler who has absolute power.
synonyms: absolute ruler, dictator, despot, tyrant
"the former autocrat could be banned from traveling abroad while the investigation proceeds"
someone who insists on complete obedience from others; an imperious or domineering person.

His stated excuse for his absence in Argentina was that he was 'hiking the Appalachian Trail.'

This country is a democracy, not an autocracy. You don't see anything wrong with the picture of Trump being a dictator like Hitler or Stalin?
 
The idea of Trump highlighting an extramarital affair to damage someone is just off the charts ironically stupid. But it still apparently worked...

No it's not. It's a representative republic.

Were it a democracy, the nation would be in deep trouble.

Rather than split hairs, the point I'm trying to make is that Trump is turning this country into an autocracy like the Third Reich. A cult of personality like Hitler.

I do. He said he liked the sound of 'president for life.'

That's an opinion. Not a fact.

I wouldn't worry. If President Trump gets too far out of line, the right will take care of it for you.

By electing another President to follow him.

Then find a candidate better than your last choice to defeat him.

A hint. Trump bad is not the message you want to carry into the next election cycle.

I think most of the country has had enough right for a while.

The funniest joke that came out of that was that when the news reported that he was hiking the Appalachian Trail that it was misheard because what was actually said was that he was hunting for Argentinian Tail.
