Sorry to put a bad taste in your mouth at breakfast time, but this was cringeworthy and in need of being shared. His Excellency, NH Governor Chris Sununu. was on ProgTV again last weekend, and he had some wisdom to impart to the GOP candidates for President.
WATCH: @GovChrisSununu (R-N.H.) applauds Chris Christie going “nuclear” on Trump but calls out the other 2024 GOP candidates.

Back when Mr. Sununu was teasing a run for the Office himself, he said this.
“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!”
He’s not running, but his experience at not running for President has taught him wisdom. Do not call Donald Trump names. And the reasoning seems obvious. Trump gives everyone nicknames. Unflattering endearments his supporters are to embrace and repeat. Doing that would be lowering yourself to his level, and if you want to win, don’t be Donald Trump.
Is that good advice?
Trump is 30-50 points ahead in most polls of Republican primary voters. The people you need to win the Republican primary? This is not to say that insults are the foundation of electability for a GOP nominee, but given the current state of America and the way the government is waging war on its people, there are things you might need.
A backbone and a record of success in that or a similar environment. The ability to understand the political double tap. An uncompromising commitment to winning the war against our government from within. I’m not sure who that person will be but we know it’s not Chris Sununu, so I’d be cautious about taking the advice of a guy whose father is about as deep a deep-state stooge as there is and didn’t fall far from the tree.
