Sununu: Trump can win if voters don't 'wake up'
thehill.com ^ | 10/26/15 | Mark Hensch

Former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu (R) said Monday that GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump can "win anywhere if the electorate doesn’t wake up.”

Sununu, who served as the first White House chief of staff for former President George H. W. Bush, argued on MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports" that Trump will likely disappoint supporters before 2016. “If Republicans go on to nominate someone that can govern the country in a way they want and make the policies they want, they ought to pay attention to the issues that the candidates support,” he said.

“Trump is in favor of single-payer healthcare,” Sununu said. “That’s absolutely something Republicans hate.”

“Trump likes eminent domain,” he continued. “Most conservative Republicans can’t stand that.”

“So they are going to have to start looking at the issues so that they don’t get frustrated by the results of winning, perhaps, and getting somebody who is just as bad as [President] Obama on the issues they care about,” he added.

Uh, that's why we didn't vote for your guy Mitt Romney, John! See, we ARE able to see through politicians. You just don't like that we've seen through YOUR preferred politicians, like Romney and anybody named Bush!

This a-hole was responsible for Justice Souter being nominated for SCOTUS by Bush ‘41.

Sununu: “I’m a g.o.p.e. R.i.n.o. liberal hack who hates the grass roots who are upsetting the corporatist and welfarist gravy train.”

He’s worried about TRUMP?!!!!! Hillary is the zombie material we will inherit if the voters “don’t wake up.” It makes me sick how the GOPe is more concerned about conservatives winning than liberals.

GOPe such as Sununu are the reason Trump is on top. We are tired of ineptness and being lied to.

where did they dig this amnesty pimp up? Everything Trump is about his Immigration Plans, as it should be. You can see all the snakes slithering out from under the rocks they once hid beneath.

Trump is not for single payer and has nothing to do with eminent domain.

Trump’s fighting the world. I can’t turn on tv without seeing someone bash him. Does anyone know of a show I can watch where they like him?

At this point, what the GOPe is doing can only be characterized as a tantrum. One giant tantrum.

They save all their hate for conservatives. They want to be liked and friends with the liberal socialists.

Trump is going to win because ALL OF THE PEOPLE COMPETING WITH HIM are all into investing in China.

All of them. Republicans. Democrats. Everyone.

Trump is the only one saying America needs to be for America once again.
