Yesterday, former Congressman and South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford ended his bid to challenge President Trump for the GOP nomination after only 65 days on the campaign trail.
Sanford cited impeachment as his reason for dropping out. But his bid was doomed to the failure when South Carolina Republicans wouldn't even hold a primary.
Nor did Republicans respond to Sanford's talk about the national debt and government spending. Once again this proves the GOP doesn't give a damn about the debt. So long as President Trump doesn't care about it. Of course, if a Democrat should win the White House in 2020 then they will start to care about the debt and government spending again. Former Illinois Congressman Joe Walsh has also been outspoken about the debt and government spending and is getting much the same response. But at least Walsh is fighting. Unlike Sanford, Walsh supports impeaching Trump.
For the moment, Walsh is still challenging Trump as is former Massachusetts Governor William Weld. Neither campaign has resonated either to Trump's left or to Trump's right because Trump is the beginning and the end of the Republican Party among GOP voters who have no center.
