Mark Sanford may primary Donald Trump in 2020

Mark Sanford isn't a fan of President Donald Trump for 2020.

The former South Carolina representative is mulling a long-shot bid against Trump for the Republican primary and he told NBC on "Meet the Press" Sunday that the President doesn't deserve to be reelected because Trump is taking the country in the "wrong direction."

Sanford said there needs to be a "course correction."

But if it comes to voting for Trump or a Democrat, Sanford said he would have to back the President.
"Yeah, I'm a Republican," Sanford said. "Everything is relative in politics," he added.

They will run a half asse d campaign against him, lose and fully support his reelection. But he will be “concerned” but give his support. Just an effort to give the Democrats false comfort and the Give the Republicans A sense of a real campaign

I am hoping Sanford's voters are disgusted enough with all Republicans.
