President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Monday to have fun at Chris Sununu’s expense. I’m not sure how the Sununu Homers will take it, but they’re not precisely Trump voters, so I doubt the President cares.
RINO Chris Sununu recently stated that, “I’m not running for president in 2024. Beating Trump is more important.” No, he’s not running for President because he’s polling at Zero, and has no chance of winning. The people of New Hampshire have gotten wise to Chris Sununu, and they no longer like or respect him. I never liked him, but always did whatever he asked for the State, because I wanted to help New Hampshire, and I did!
I would not go so far as to say the people of New Hampshire “no longer respect him.” He is still a popular governor, though much less so than in earlier terms. He has repeatedly failed tests from COVID to the NH9 to reneging on promises to the conservative and pro-life base. That has cost him support from Republicans.
For a guy from a family that thinks they represent Republicans, he could have done a better job. And given that he barely moved the needle as a potential 2024 Presidential candidate in a Republican primary, well – that’s why he’s not running for that job.
As for why he’s not running for Governor again, the speculation continues. From the sexual assault laundromat to the Pandora Papers to potential civil suits for wrongful arrest, there are distractions aplenty if anyone was inclined to push the issues.
We can’t say if anything will come of any of that, but come November 2024, New Hampshire will have a different governor. I’d say new, but until we know who it is, we can’t say things will be much, if at all, different, and that’s not all bad. Sununu did a fine job with some of our natural rights and not so much with others.
Gun rights were protected, and taxes were reduced or eliminated. The occupational license situation got a lot better. There were plenty of plusses, but tossing the First and Fourth Amendments out the window during COVID did more harm than those did good for his base. When they rebelled, he picked up on the Democrat’s fear and demonizing of MAGA Republicans and used it to “other” them.
Efforts to roll back mandates did not regain their lost favor, and at the end of the day, his biggest contribution to them was keeping a real Democrats ass out of the governor’s chair.
