Governor Sununu continues to show us who he is and always was, not that we ever doubted it. He’s a Sununu. A creature of the GOPe. He is an establishment tool that finds more comfort in the company of ruling-class swamp creatures.
Again, not a surprise. This Sununu was always that guy, so we supported Frank Edelblut when Sununu first ran. But Sununu has dropped all pretense and fully embraced the Left’s preferred opinion of preferred opinion.
“You know, he’s probably going to be the next president,” Sununu said of Trump, musing about his “experience,” “passion,” “sense of integrity” and the “rationale” he brought to his tweets. As the room quieted to see where he was going with this, he paused, then yelled: “Nah, I’m just kidding! He’s FUCKING CRAZY!” The ballroom roared with laughter. “ARE YOU KIDDING?! Come on. You guys are buying that? I love it … He just stresses me out so much! … I’m going to deny I ever said it.”
It didn’t stop there: “The press often will ask me if I think Donald Trump is crazy. And I’ll say it this way: I don’t think he’s so crazy that you could put him in a mental institution. But I think if he were in one, he ain’t getting out!”
The crazy guy who got control of the southern border, slowing the drug and human trafficking. He ended US reliance on foreign oil, including Russia, managed to get NATO countries to start paying for some of their own damn national defense, put China on notice, and intimidated the Islamofascists. Yeah, that guy. The guy who helped set record employment and opportunity for every class of US citizens and didn’t start any wars while advancing real peace and growing security in the Middle East.
Crazy, I know.
Governor Sununu, that’s the shortlist, and if you think that was crazy, you are a piece of crap stuck to the ruling class jackboot you wish you were wearing.
This is just the latest swampward move by his Excellency. But since he is the GOP’s version of former Democrat Governor John Lynch (he looks harmless), Sununu can probably be governor for as long as he wants. And he wants.
I think he’s hoping to win the most terms of any governor in state history before moving on to something else, if even then. And absent any truly viable candidates – no offense to those Republicans who keep challenging him – we’re probably stuck with this elitist bootlicking dumbass for the duration.
The remarks, by the way, were made at Gridiron Dinner in Washington, DC. He was playing to his crowd.
But can the guy who thinks he can keep insulting Trump supporters in the Granite State (or Trump’s accomplishments) not pay some a political price?
I know. I said Chrissy could probably keep the governor’s seat until he wants to give it up, but there are other ways to pay a political price. The people he is pissing off will take it out on the legislature, especially the NH Senate, which already spends too much time licking HIS boots.
You need a lot of money to run for that ‘gig,’ and the Sununus can tighten the purse strings on Republicans who require it to win. It’s how they control them, the state party, and the agenda.
The NH House, with 400 seats, is harder to control – it costs next to nothing to run and win. And that is the only thing that’s saved us from him or Democrat governors past. But Sununu is willing to risk or lose both. If that happens, he can pass the lefty crap he likes and be Veto Sununu on the taxes and ant-gun stuff. He’s done that in the past.
I wish his wife were more interested in moving down to DC. He’d have already run for Senate, swept the floor with either Shaheen or Hassan. He could be down there with his people more often, we’d be rid of him, and he’d be marginally better than Maggie or Jeanne on a handful of bills.
No such luck. He skipped on Shaheen, and now he’s skipped out on challenging the much weaker Hassan. Do you want to know why? Because he has so eroded local Republican support, he might have lost.
We can’t have that.
His next leg up would be a cabinet position or an ambassadorship. Unless he thinks he can run for President. I’m sure he’s got swampy insiders suggesting it.
How embarrassing might that be for New Hampshire?
