The New Hampshire globalist is the latest Never Trumper to rear his head once again ahead of 2024.

Globalist New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu announced that he would not run for president because he wants all never-Trump Republicans to rally behind a candidate to stop Trump from winning the GOP Primary. Sununu recently said some very nice things about Ron DeSantis during the Florida Governor’s Trip to New Hampshire, signaling that DeSantis is the candidate that Sununu is talking about.

In the WAPO, Sununu attacked Republicans aiming to be Trump’s VP, writing, “Too many other candidates who have entered this race are simply running to be Trump’s vice president. That’s not leadership; that’s weakness. Too many candidates are afraid to confront Trump, surrendering to his attacks. I will have more credibility speaking out against Trump as a non-candidate to help move the conversation toward the future I believe the Republican Party should embrace.”

Sununu wrote that Never Trump Republicans must rally around a candidate to beat Trump “No one can stop candidates from entering this race, but candidates with no path to victory must have the discipline to get out. Anyone polling in the low single digits by this winter needs to have the courage to hang it up and head home.”

Sununu recently praised Florida Governor Ron DeSantis during his visit to New Hampshire, saying, “I actually thought it was a pretty darn good speech. It’s not just about the woke stuff. He talked about fiscal discipline. He’s talking about doing things in Washington that folks haven’t gotten done, and whether that’s Ron or all the candidates, that’s what we have to be talking about.”

NH Gov Chris Sununu praises FL Gov Ron DeSantis: "He understands the value of retail politics. You saw it right there. I actually thought that was a pretty darn good speech. It's not just about the woke stuff. It's — he's talking about fiscal discipline. He's talking about doing… pic.twitter.com/Zor34doepd

In 2016 Ted Cruz and John Kasich combined forces in an attempt to stop Trump from winning the nomination. GOP Primary polls show that Trump is still crushing Ron DeSantis in a head-to-head match-up, meaning that Sununu’s plan looks to fail just like Kasich’s did in 2016.

Who put him in charge?

What a jerk.

Meanwhile, NH goes unattended.

A minority of a minority.

all the wrong people support DeSantis, while those same people hate Trump and MAGA.

Well at least one is being honest on what this is all about.

The only more honest thing would be the Uniparty telling voters "you may only vote for this list of approved candidates. All other votes will be discarded, and may result in prosecution, fines, and jail"

Not even these Junior Democrats will slow the Truno juggernaut

Not saying my governor is a Junior Democrat, rather he should have joined Trump to ensure us 12 years of swamp drainage and a return to some form of normalcy.

As usual, pantywaist Republican would prefer a Democrat to Trump, the most conservative president since Coolidge.

The press questions why Biden has not yet gone out in the campaign trail yet.

Biden and his campaign managers don’t need for Biden to campaign, noting that, Biden will be going against Trump, and the republicans running for president are doing the campaigning for Biden. All the republicans are bashing Trump and helping Biden. Biden won’t need to campaign until the middle of next year, when the republican Trump bashers are finally disposed of.

The establishment fears Trump more than a demon fears holy water.

Sununu has done good things are governor but he needs to just shut up and focus on keeping NH *Live Free or Die* and limited government.

[going hot]

And would vote for the rat, their hatred is so profound!

Should start a new group, Friends of Billy Crystal.

I don’t remember anyone asking for his opinion.....

I have noticed that. It gives me great hesitation about supporting him.

Desanctimonius might be single digits by winter...wondering, if everyone except Trump were single digits by winter would he call for everyone to drop out and support Trump?

Nobody ever accused Sununu of being bright.

[wiseprince]

Why only pause? Not trying to be sparky but why isn’t this obvious to you that the Repukes are using him (not that’s he’s not in on it) to take down Trump and nothing more?

[Jim Noble]

Trump will be denied the GOP nomination.

What’s plan B?
