From top to bottom, the excuses are flying fast and furious for this Tuesday’s debacle. As I discussed HERE, our illustrious Sun-King, Chris Sununu … Second-of-His-Name-and-Protector-of-the-RINOs … is blaming Trump.
Yeah right … it’s Trump’s fault that the NHGOP lost numerous State Representative seats … putting themselves essentially at parity with the Democrats … and made no gains in the State Senate.
How about some accountability for NHGOP leadership … starting with none other than the Sun-King himself and the so-called State Chairman Steve Stepanek? It wasn’t Donald J. Trump who made the decision to churn out redundant flyer after redundant flyer … oh look, it’s Chris Pappas with AOC, and this one has Chris Pappas with Nancy Pelosi, oh wow that’s Chris Pappas with Che Guevara (okay I made that one up) … instead of creating the political-infrastructure to turn out Red-voters.
It was the LAZINESS and INCOMPETENCE of Sun-King Sununu and Stepanek that led to the loss of numerous State Representative seats and the lack of gains in the State Senate. Where are the demands for Stepanek to resign for failing … despite having had years to do so … to build the political-infrastructure to turn out Red-voters? Where is the criticism of Sununu for doing practically nothing to elect down-ballot Republicans?
The absence of demands for Stepanek’s resignation and the lack of criticism of Sununu’s indifference to any race but his own suggest that NHGOP activists are content with being perennial losers and complainers.
Dear NHGOP activist, Mitch McConnell obviously deserves your criticism for failing to fund Don Bolduc … BUT Mitch similarly stiffed other candidates … for example, Blake Masters … and they didn’t lose in landslides like Bolduc (and Leavitt and Burns). There UNDENIABLY is more to it than that … and the more-to-it is that other States … I’m thinking of Arizona … have a viable State Party that turns out Red-Voters. In other words, Sun-King and Stepanek deserve at least as much criticism as Mitch. And yet you are giving them a pass.
Other excuses I have seen include that the voters were somehow “confused” and that the media created a false sense of complacency among GOP voters. Maybe it’s time to stop blaming everyone and everything for the NHGOP “leadership’s” incompetence, laziness and self-indulgence … and start putting the blame where it belongs – on the NHGOP leadership?
