Sununu Spills

[WHITT]

New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R), who was one of the GOP’s top recruitment targets for the 2022 Senate midterms, was “pretty close” to throwing his hat into the race — until he found out his only purpose in the Senate would be to help Republicans keep the whole chamber dysfunctional.

“They were all, for the most part, content with the speed at which they weren’t doing anything,” Sununu told the Examiner. “It was very clear that we just have to hold the line for two years.”

“OK, so I’m just going to be a roadblock for two years,” he continued. “That’s not what I do.”

1. He must have been so surprised when he figured out the GOP is obstructionist.

[gratuitous]

3. Well, sure he was surprised

It wasn't in any of the papers, how could Mr. Sununu possibly have known that the GOP is obstructionist?

[2naSalit]

4. Right?

So he's saying he just figured this out? Just recently? Really?

9. His brother was Senator before Shaheen

[Mr. Ected]

2. He's in the wrong section of the library

What he thinks is news is actually ancient history.

5. His refusal to run is by far the biggest break we have had for the 2022 Senate midterms

He likely would have defeated Hassan. Ayotte said no as well, leaving Bolduc as the likely Rethug frontrunner atm.

He is far more MAGAty than either Sununu or Ayotte, so IF he wins, it is actually the worst outcome for us.

6. Well, revelations are a very good thing

Better late than never.

One thing we could wish for is that a revelation fever replaces the obstructionist/fascist fever running wild through the Republican Party. More men and women still capable of rational thought and civic responsibility need to stand up and be counted.

The urgency of now is upon us.

7. I don't know why the Democratic Party doesn't use this a talking point

When you elect repukes nothing gets done for you and all they want to do is sabotage our country and stop any process. Why keep voting for the party who doesn’t represent your needs and interests?

Progressives go forward
Conservatives stay back.
