Malgré ce qu'avance l'auteur de cet article dans les pages du New York Times, je doute fort que Mark Sanford puisse ébranler Donald Trump. S'il jouit d'une belle expérience politique, je doute de ces appuis.
Sanford devient le troisième candidat à affronter le président sortant chez les Républicains après Bill Weld et Joe Walsh.
"Unlike Mr. Weld, Mr. Sanford has been a big-name player and an elected official in Republican politics in the Trump era, the Tea Party-dominated period that preceded it and the two decades before that. He remains beloved by many conservative activists, who know he’s been serious about reining in wasteful spending, targeting debt and the deficit, and supporting free trade. They remember when he brought squealing piglets to the state house to make a point about “pork” spending. They know he got As and Bs from the Cato Institute for his fiscal record as governor. They know he has a lifetime 93 percent grade from the Club for Growth (which is better than the House Freedom caucus chairman Mark Meadows’s lifetime grade). And they regard him as having had about the least-scandalous scandal in modern political history (he had an extramarital affair because he fell in love and got engaged to the woman)."
