New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu’s slide from so-so Republican to establishment tool didn’t take long, but why would it. The Sununu DNA is predisposed toward ruling-class establishment policy. Toe the blue line to get a seat at the table, even if it’s the kiddie table.
It has endeared him to the corporate media and the Left, but does he know it will never be enough because it never is. That may be his biggest flaw, and he’s got more than a few, which is why he ended up at the bottom of this list of Republican Governors with Phil Scott and Utah’s Spencer Cox.
Maskachusetts governor Charlie Baker did better. Well, they all did better except for Scott and Cox, and maybe there’s room for Sununu to be the best of the worst in the F column if that’s a distinction with a difference. A sad little game if you ask me. And yes, he could always be worse.
So, what about the rest of them? Kristi Noem, a darling early in the pandemic, fell out of favor along the way. She got a D from this “pundit.” And she is in “good” company (that’s sarcasm). Nearly 60% rated ‘D’ or worse (so much for a majority of “republican” governors), with only Ron Desantis (Florida) and Greg Gianforte (Montana) earning an ‘A.’
I don’t think he was too tough on any of them, but you decide. See where your governor lands, and let us know if you agree with that or any of the grades assigned in this commentary.
