Making a deal with Sununu will scuttle his chances in the future.
Sununu is a consummate RINO.
He vetoed a parents rights bill in NH.
Let them both get into the race. I believe that Trump will crush all of them like he did in 2016.

Always felt that if Trump didn’t get the nomination I would support DeSantis, but now that he is involved with Sununu he can go to hell. He is no different than the other RINOS.
A Republican governor meet swith another Republican governor, and you want to make it some sort of problem.
If I understand the logic, it’s something like this: DeSantis met with Sununu. Sununu’s father worked for Bush. Therefore, DeSantis is a Bushie. Bad logic.
I was just in another thread you started about Trump, and a poster said “He is trying to remain relevant”. I actually did find that humorous.
But in this aspect of a Trump-DeSantis internecine war (which the Left wants, as yet another way to bleed off money and support for Trump, who they are terrified by-and for good reason) is quite revealing.
I look at the people who have openly come out behind Trump. In general, they are the kind of people I want to see in government. Unafraid to speak, fight back, and be combative in general. They are less interested in accommodation and more interested in making sure that the tenets of the Constitution is observed, which intrinsically means they are against the Deep State.
Then I look at the people who have backed DeSantis. In general, they are people I have great distaste for. People like Sununu. McConnell. Graham (to be fair, he only supports DeSantis half the time. The other half, he supports Trump) and a list of other Deep State denizens in government.
But one only has to look a the fervency that the Leftist pursue the goal of making it impossible for Trump to run by siphoning off his support and resources via constant legal battles (Orchestrated Lawfare) when they aren’t using the weaponized government and media as their direct instruments. That effort and frenzy should tell people all that we need to know.
That isn’t happening by accident or for no reason.
This is the thing with me-DeSantis is a fine governor of a state. If I were a Florida resident, I would vote for him with no hesitation.
But in the Federal government, he will be more of what we have had up to this point. The thing about Trump is that he does far less of the Clintonesque “Triangulation”, sticking of the finger in the air to see which way the wind is blowing before deciding.
DeSantis will just be more of that. More of Mitt Romney. More of John McCain. More of George W. Bush. More of George H.W. Bush.
The country won’t survive more of that. We need someone with an axe to grind, someone who is going to call them out and fight it out, toe-to-toe in front of the American People in the public square for all to see, no holds barred, and that is not Ron DeSantis.
That is Donald Trump.

I live in NH. Sununu is a consummate RINO. Never fails to disappoint us conservatives when the chips are down. He’s liberal enough to attract votes in Concord/Manchester/Nashua axis, dominated by Taxachussetts refugees who still vote liberal, and immigrants, who always vote liberal.
If DeSantis values his political career, he should stay far away from people like Sununu.
Many is the time I wish we had someone like DeSantis for governor here. I am disappointed that he would try to form an allegiance with a RINO like Sununu.
I can't speak for the poster that you are addressing, but the older Sununu was actually a pretty good defender of Trump, whilst the younger Sununu has chronic TDS.
If he’s really teaming up with Sununu he’s dead to me. By, by Ron.
“Ron DeSantis Plots Politics with Chris Sununu”
Don’t get me wrong, people like DeSantis need ‘connections’ to reach the big-money types needed to run for president. But, even so, why do it so publicly? To us Trump supporters, it’s like he’s wearing a huge dunce cap that reads DEEP STATE.
DeSantis, in particular, had built up an excellent reputation of NOT appearing to be controlled by the Deep State...yet we now cannot figure out how he can still be independent of the Deep State, given who his ‘friends’ appear to be.
Yup! Looks like a lot of foot shootin’ to me. Useless advisers?
Same here, he has all the wrong friends. I will have to evaluate a great deal before I support him after Trump’s second term.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sununu’s coat tails couldn’t even pull retired Army Brig. Gen. Don Bolduc across the finish line in the 2022 US Senate race that should have been a Repub pick up.
DeSantis getting in bed with another Rino like Sununu will hurt him like Yeb’s endorsement, imo
BTTT
“Same here, he has all the wrong friends”
That is my biggest concern about D. Look how long Sessions had people fooled. Then he recuses himself a month in.
We of New Hampshire continue to endure the infestation of Sununus. Rinos and bootlickers of the DC UniParty.
A pox on all of them.
Sununu is Deep State.
Not very smart
