Agreed. This guy is the most cynical opportunist and "which way is the wind blowing?" coward of a politician in office today--and that is saying something.
I hope that this at least goes down as the moment that any chance of Sununu ever being a presidential or vice presidential nominee, Cabinet secretary, ambassador, or appointed or elected to anything whatsoever went out the window. It was that bad.
I used to think Sununu was at least a decent guy for a Republican. But he's been exposed as a fraud.
I would like to think that if Biden loses the election in November and then tries to do the same things that Trump did in 2020 (tries to steal the election, incites an insurrection, etc.) that most sensible Democrats would recognize it for what it is and not just fall in line behind the leader of their party (cult?). Country over party!
This is really stunningly preposterous..."“Me and 51 percent of America.” (Side note: Trump has not hit 51% in any recent poll I’ve seen.)
Forget about Trump not hitting 51% in any "polls" must he be reminded that in TWO elections Trump never came close to 51% of actual VOTES!!!
2016 - 46.1%
2020 - 46.8%
Hey Mr. Sununu, guess who DID get over 51% of the vote for president.
Joe Biden - 51.3%
Sununu says that he would "support" Trump even if he was convicted of the most egregious crimes a president EVER could commit. And there is ZERO doubt Trump DID commit these crimes.
Purposely stealing. mishandling and illegally refusing to return the highest classified documents known in the US government, and actively, purposely and illegally abusing presidential power in order to steal an election and refuse to allow the peaceful transfer of power after losing an election.
With the moronic brushing aside of these realities response....."Yes, me and 51 percent of America."
I sure did not remember Sununu or ANY Republican supporting President Biden after he DID GET over 51% of the vote.
I would say that Sununu is not individually the "absolute worst". He is simply within the mainstream of today's Republican Party which, collectively are the ABSOLUTE WORST anti-American mob in the history of this nation.
What Sununu did so expertly on Sunday morning was clarify the essential truth of the current Republican “party”: there is no there there. Every position is nothing more than the script of the day, in search of nothing but power, position, and “relevance.” It would be outright laughable if it weren’t so frightening.
“Like, really? Is that what leadership looks like in the Trump Republican party?”
The GOP is a bizarro world party. The base is the leadership. Sununu and Congressional Republicans and even Trump himself are the followers. Prime example is Dear “Leader” getting booed when he tried to take credit for developing the great vaccine.
Sununu can sit back and enjoy his unalloyed support for Trump while David Pecker, Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougall are testifying in a few weeks.
I’m guessing that Chris is a good Christian family man and all that usual hoo hah.
This is what Sununu, Barr and all the other people who've screamed "Trump is a danger to the country!" then say they will vote for him remind me of:
SNL "Buckwheat has been shot!" Episode from '83:
Gas Station Attendant: [in New England accent] Sure, I remember Stutts. He was a loner, but a real hard worker. I mean, he pumped the gas, he checked the oil, he washed the windows. Nice kid.
Ted Koppel: Do you believe he killed Buckwheat?
Gas Station Attendant: Oh, yes, definitely. That's all he talked about. I remember one day I says, uh, "Stutts, why are you working so hard?" He says, "Cause I'm saving up to buy a gun, so I can kill Buckwheat." [shrugs]
If Trump is convicted in the stolen documents case he will be, effectively, guilty of treason. For a Governor like Sununu to say that he would support that person for PRESIDENT is horrifying and disgusting. A pox on his house.
As a NH resident...this is disgraceful! Chris Sununu is the worst of a political family. Thank God he's not running again. Pulling for a federal post? Enogh already!

TO BE CLEAR - 51% of voters have NEVER supported Tump - and NEVER will
A picture perfect example of a smug amoral politician. The video should come with a trigger alert: Warning, may induce vomiting.
Thank you for writing this, Chris.
Chris Sununu fucking sucks and I really hope we stop giving this guy Sunday morning TV time to play the role of "Republican moderate."

If I told my parents that everyone else was doing it, my dad would have said ‘oh, so now you have joined the stupid group’?
Why single out Sununu? (Other than it makes Chris's look bad). Is this any different than Lindsay Graham, Tec Cruz, Mike Pence, Mike Pompeo, etc?
Unfortunately we can expect the same from Nikkie Haley

I completely agree, so "Booooooo"
