Bush 41 chief of staff Sununu endorses Trump after debate
Hot air ^ | SEPTEMBER 27, 2016 | ED MORRISSEY

Endorsements may not move the needle with most voters, even when A-listers like Ted Cruz make them. When it comes to John H. Sununu, former governor of New Hampshire and one-time RNC chair, it would normally matter less, except for his ties to the Bush family, who haven’t exactly tripped over themselves to support Donald Trump. Like Cruz, Sununu didn’t hold back his criticism of the Republican nominee, at least until today. The morning after the debate, the Trump campaign released this statement from George H. W. Bush’s former chief of staff:

“Donald Trump is the only candidate in this race who can bring bold change to Washington D.C. I support the Trump-Pence ticket for their pro-growth agenda and commitment to protecting American interests. Republicans, Independents and smart Democrats need to come together to elect Donald Trump and Mike Pence.”

Silly reactions here. Every endorsement is an important endorsement, especially this one in New England.

His is an important endorsement. Being a popular ex-gov and ex-State Rep in New Hampshire, it could prove helpful this November.

Perino lost her “cuteness”, much in the same way Me-again Kelly did.

There is one metric that works almost e very time for me, and keeps it simple:

The Republican is Always Better than the Democrat

Democrats want to take more of your money and take more of your freedom.

Republicans prefer to do the opposite, for the most part.

If you can cite situations that don’t follow this measurement, they make up only small fractions.

I agree with that. Need all the help we can get in New England.

Sununu and Cruz probably see the way the wind is blowing and they think they might be able to catch a bit of it themselves. If Sununu thought Trump cratered last night he would not be doing this.

Bush Sr. and Jr., two clowns destroyed America by giving away US market and technologies to ChiCom, starting endless wars in ME and open up US border to Mexico. Biggest mistake Republican ever had

Get your head out of your butt.

Right now it’s Hillary 272, Trump 266.

If Sununu can help flip NH, let me introduce you to President Trump.

Now is not the time for divisiveness.

New Hampshire votes could mean a lot on the road to 270EV.
Sununu support could might give Trump an edge.

Are you quoting polls? Don't be such an idiot. Nobody's voted for anybody yet.

That’s a good point.
