THAT’S a great headline from The Hill, which writes all about what happens in DC. As in Capital Hill for the slow Progressives amongst you. And it accomplished what it set out to do; make a Republican look like that they are “sensitive” to Biden’s plight.
When I read it, my immediate thought was “that’s in the right order of magnitude for Baby Huey.”
Methinks that, overall, Sununu has been harder on Trump than he has Biden even with the latter has had a more HORRIBLE performance in less than a year.
Biden’s certainly got the anti-Midas Touch (from that fable where everything that King Midas touched turned to gold). Everything Biden touches turns to rust.
Or worse, but I’m not going there.
And the Hill amplified it in its first paragraph (reformatted, emphasis mine):
New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) said in an interview he passed on running for Senate because he didn’t want to simply be a “roadblock” to President Biden for two years.
And then Sununu decided it was all about him:
“I was pretty close,” Sununu told The Washington Examiner about weighing a Senate bid. “I wasn’t ready to make an announcement, but I was like, ‘OK, this makes sense. I think I could be a voice nationally.” Sununu, who Republicans were hoping to see run for Senate in the Granite State, explained he decided to instead run for reelection for governor after hearing the party’s plan for the Senate for the next two years.
“They were all, for the most part, content with the speed at which they weren’t doing anything. It was very clear that we just have to hold the line for two years. OK, so I’m just going to be a roadblock for two years. That’s not what I do,” Sununu said, noting Republicans were trying to wait until they would hopefully win the presidency in 2024. “It bothered me that they were OK with that,” Sununu said.
Well, being a national voice, that’s pretty big chested of you, sir! I will have to admit, however, that the line “content with the speed at which they weren’t doing anything” is rather clever and may well be one that I will use in the future. After all, it could very well used against the Republican Party several times in the past few years when they held the majority like the Dems do in DC right now – WHAT did they really get done?
Especially even now when the Republicans are trying to get things done WHILE Sununu is throwing in with the Progressives on Social Issues?
SB263 is one of those major items in NH that has caused no uncertain tomfoolery for us while Sununu just strolls away (like when the lead in the action film pulls a grenade out of his pocket, pulls the pin, and throws it over the shoulder without looking and doesn’t flinch when it all goes up. He just keeps walking away, silently whistling to himself).
The rest of us have to clean up afterward because it was OUR ammo/gas dump they blew up. Same dealio with “divisive concepts” – except he got tied to the center tent pole under which the ammo and gas were stored and HB2 was the only knife he had to get free.
I’ll admit – Sununu is right on this – as was MANY of us who were sorely disappointed in the Republicans after whining for years about “Give us the House, give us the Senate, now give us the Oval Office!” and got bupkiss.
Sununu said he challenged the Republicans he was meeting with, asking why the party didn’t take larger steps to advance its agenda when Republicans controlled Congress and the White House.
Notice, however, not once does he ever point the finger at himself at all this? A DeSantis, or even Youngkin, he’s not.
So I’ll put it out there – other than for your cheery smile, why else would we vote? Especially after you made it quite clear that you’re not under the restrictions of the NH Constitution with your “Healthcare trumps All” line? After all, in this, your not that much different with Biden’s CDC and OSHA restrictions, are you?
