Sununu reminds me of the conmen id see on the streets when I lived in Chicago. Those fast talking guys who’d walk up asking you to donate to some cause while waving around a flyer you couldn’t quite see. He’s a conman, a grifter, and liar. And when he was called on his blatant hypocrisy there wasn’t a hint of shame. Of all the Republicans on tv, he grates on me the worst. Yes. He’s even worse than DeSantis. Barely. He’s part of that Nancy Mace- JD Vance triangle. They don’t understand that if there’s ever a right wing revolution, they will be its first victims.

I've said it since Chris first expressed an interest in politics. A Sununu is a Sununu is a Sununu.

At least Sununu didn't accuse Stephanopoulos of rape shaming him.

Sununu’s running for president in 2028, he was hoping to be Nikki’s veep. With this latest triangulation, he just opted to join the losing side. When Trump loses the election this November, there’s going to be a battle for control of the Republican party. Liz Cheney and a handful of other Republicans (Pence, Christie, Haley) will lead the ascendant anti-MAGA brigade (Sununu could have been one of them). Trump and his backers will flail about, struggling to keep MAGA alive, but that is doomed (maybe to become a third party). Trump himself, a loser once again, will become irrelevant. All the others who had bowed to Trump will suddenly look ridiculous and cowardly, scrambling to delete their Twitter histories. Denial will be the order of the day, but that’s a failing strategy. Sununu will become a footnote. It’s a dumb move.

I don't know why New Hampshire keeps trying to make a Sununu dynasty happen. It's not going to happen. Fetch is more likely to happen.

As long as the majority of the largest voting bloc in the country supports Republicans, they aren’t going anywhere and they aren’t really going to pay a price for whatever they do.

Chris Sununu translated: Humana, humana, humana.

It's cute Chris thinks he might be Vice President.

The MOMENT a Republican speaks out against Dear Leader they are immediately cast out as an apostate and Sununu knows it.

Liz Cheney has been cast out, totally, by them and yet she has stated that she will not cast a vote for Biden. This shit is so deeply built into them.

I don't endorse politician facepunching.

But not as punchable as Ted Cruz’s.

Just another reason to outlaw politics as a family business. Even the *good* ones, like Hillary Clinton.

The domestic terrorists who attacked the United States Capitol must be held accountable and prosecuted

His last name is and has always been Sununu.

Do people not remember who his father was and who he served?

Why did anyone ever think he would ever DO anything different, regardless of what he SAID ...??

Shorter Sununu:

"Look, I know Trump is a scumbag and electing him would fuck up this country even worse than he did last time. But I think abortion is murder, if you take guns from people they're going to get stabbed in the streets by lawless hooligans, and taxation is theft. How on earth do you expect me to not vote against the party that opposes me on those things?"

"taxation is theft" is the only part they care about; they don't give a damn about abortion,

gun control or any of that other crap.
