It is time to formalize the previously informal series on behalf of NH Governor Chris Sununu to keep himself from making a total fool of himself, and yes, he can drive further down that road – plenty of asphalt in front of him. Remember, it’s not deliberate sarcasm on my part.
I just want to keep reminding him that HE set the bar for who should and who should not run for the Republican nomination in this Presidential election cycle.
After all, he’s a man of his word, right?
Hangover: An “Evergreen” statement by Sununu himself on low-rated wannabes:
Mr. Sununu also warned minor candidates not to carve up the field.
“I think there’s a lot of hope and opportunity for good candidates to get in, drive the message where it needs to be,” he said. “But the discipline is getting out, too. The discipline and saying, ‘Look, you’re only polling at 5%, you got to get out.’ We don’t want a crowded field here.”
So I’ve been following his status since he first set that benchmark “for the field,” so he can follow his own words, yes?
Thus, I’ll help remind him as I know that even if HE doesn’t read GraniteGrok, someone in his office or his friends do (and I know his political enemies read the ‘Grok). And while there are a lot of polling websites, I’m going to stick with RealClearPolitics‘s aggregate polling average:

Even Vivek Ramaswamy has a higher average, 0.9, than Sununu: 0.5 (his column is 2nd from the right).
Vivek just arrived on the political scene – Sununu and his family have been an NH dynasty over the decades.
Scoring a pathetic 0.5% over nine national polls isn’t good.
