"Sununu insists Trump’s more-than 60 percent support in recent national polls is in reality closer to 40 percent. That’s not based in data or anything, just instinct, I guess. "

Sixty percent support from who? Republicans, or rational people too? Cause, uhh..

'New Morning Consult Weekly Track Has Biden Gaining 4 Points. In the first major poll since the cease fire/pause began, President Biden has picked up 4 points and now has a slight lead, 43%-42%. Trump led in this poll last week 44%-41%.'

"“Did you see [Trump’s] last visit to New Hampshire? He was comparing himself to Nelson Mandela and talking about Jesus Christ being speaker of the House — it was kooky talk,” Sununu said."

Who did Biden inappropriately compare himself to?

The Sununus are the “fetch” of New Hampshire. They’re never going to happen.

Say what, attention whore ????????

He's done as governor, and was laughed out of the GOP primary for not being insane enough, so he seems to be looking for attention somewhere, somehow. He's an odd politician. He often governed like a moderate but then blathered like a right-wing lunatic. He, and his dickhead father, just want Reagan back.

“I’m a Republican,” he told Palmeri. “I just want Republicans to win; that’s all I care about.” See, that's your problem right there in a nutshell.

A nutshell big enough to house Sununu’s problems would have its own gravity field. .

Party over country to start... Then the party IS the country... unless there's just the one and only leader of the party, then it's he is the state... which was said before ... L'etat et moi... or however you say that. I've forgotten my semester of college French.

The Republicans want someone younger. Which is why they reject DeSantis and Haley for Cinnamon Hitler. Republicans wants someone who’s a fascist. They call Liz Cheney a RINO! These are not serious people.

I believe they are serious enough about establishing a fascist religious dictatorship.

That’s without saying.

I’ll never forget his old man being interviewed on MSNBC.

“I wish Obama would learn how to be an American.”

That dog whistle was actually a foghorn.

Hate to quote Bill Maher:

“What Republicans call him (President Obama) in private starts with an n and ends with an r. And it’s not national builder.”

So fuck Chris along with his bigoted daddy.

Don’t even know if the motherfucker is still alive.

"Nikki Haley is a more appealing candidate than Cruz, who lacks her overtly mammalian qualities."

You mean boobs, right?

Cruz *is* a boob. But not the good knid.

I’m sorry for me that my life journey is taking me back to NH. To many former and current Sununus.

I'm willing to bet this moron has never listened to a single word of any of Biden's speeches.

"Nikki Haley is a more appealing candidate than Cruz, who lacks her overtly mammalian qualities." absolutely had me on the floor with its incisive truth.

It's a nice balm after reading quotes from these cowardly little dribbles of santorum in their desperate attempts to dance around their horrible party doubling—tripling down even—for their gibbering fascist madman.

I learned to never trust a Sununu back when Chris's father John was in the news as GHWB's chief of staff, accused of ethical failures regarding his classification of personal travel as official business.

As it is, Chris seems to fit the sobriquet of "nepo baby". Guess New Hamsterites like them some Sununus

Chris Sununu, like many members of his family, is beneath contempt.

Although I am still a little curious about what devices or potions cause his hair.

While Trump may or may not win the 2024 election, surely Republicans like Sununu realize no other nominee can possibly win. As Stephen points out, the hardened MAGA base will never support anyone else. If someone somehow beats Trump in the primary, that lucky candidate will go into November missing about 20 to 25% of the most reliable republican voters. No matter how many independents Nikki or Ron might attract (sadly it would be a fair amount) it won't be enough to win the general. It would probably be a down ballot slaughter as well. This inevitable damage might have been lessened if they had shit-canned Trump with firm intent on or about January 7th, but they lack all moral fiber so now it is ride or die with Trump to the ends of the republic (really a democracy).

TRUMP wants all fealty but would never support someone else. That alone should be a warning. But it’s not.
