New Hampshire's uber-popular Republican governor Chris Sununu put it plainly on NBC's Meet the Press: "Donald Trump is a loser."
Before that, Sununu had rightly rebuked all the pundits who say the GOP presidential nomination for 2024 is a done deal. "Most folks don’t decide who they are voting for until about three weeks before the election," he said.
And he is right.
At this time, a year before the 2008 election, Hillary Clinton was the odds-on favorite to be the Democratic nominee. She lost to Barack Obama. At this time, 28 months before the 2016 election, polls showed the idea of Trump as president was a joke. And so on, and on, and on, and on.
Having made the point that voters change their minds, Sununu said Republican voters are going to be increasingly concerned with which potential nominee can actually beat the Democrats in 2024. He said it is absolutely clear that Trump cannot do so. This is evident not only from polls, which show Trump's approval rating at just 34% of Americans today, but also from actual election results.
"Trump is positioning himself to be a four-time loser in 2024," Sununu said.
In 2018, under Trump's lack of leadership, Republicans get absolutely routed in House elections. In 2020, Trump lost to Biden, and Republicans lost the Senate. The latter loss was directly attributable to Trump, as he went out of his way to torpedo two Republican Senate candidates in runoffs in Georgia because he kept telling Republican voters the system was rigged, giving the idea that voting was useless.
Then, in 2022, Republican Senate candidates Trump personally chose lost across the country, while Republican candidates not closely tied to Trump won. Alas, there were too many of the former, and Republicans lost a host of winnable races,...

Good luck overcoming that, RINOs.
Amazing how D.Trump is SOOOO unpopular that virtually any unscheduled stop draws more people than biden or Harris can draw with weeks of advertising. Was the term “loser” redefined and I missed it? And why is it called gaslighting anyway? Wasn’t that the lighting used in the 20s and 30s to replace whale oil lighting?
“Loser” wow what inspiring language...sarc
No one can match Trump’s genius and dynamic personality.
“The vast majority of Americans detest Trump”
I suppose that explains why Trump got more votes as an incumbent president than any other president in history.
And, again, I have to repeat, if anyone thinks Biden got 81 million votes, then it is a waste of time to talk to such a duped person, or a stupid person, or a deceptive person.
This is the most bizarre article I have read in a long time. It is too unhinged to even address. It is a witness against itself.
Surprising, coming from the Washington Examiner.
How silly to even suggest Trump is a loser.... every citizen of this country knows how favorable things were during Trumps term and the accomplishments he did for our nation.
The Examiner is in the Mitch McConnell camp richly proven in the 2017 Special Senate Election in Alabama constant trashing of Roy Moore.
So that we’re clear, when the Repukes hold the Senate I’m 2018 and get bunch of Governorship (remember Florida) Trump isn’t the cause. When they win the house in 2022 Trump isn’t the cause but when they Lose the Senate in 2020 and the house in 2018 that’s all Trump? Interesting way of counting, I guess it’s the same people who “counted the votes” in 2020 and 2022.
50m?
in 2020 he had 75-80m+ votes.
and it’s only increased since then.
screw ‘big left’
The wildly popular Brandon agrees with the wildly popular Sununu.
Tell that to Hillary Clintoon. She’ll play the gusty woman on your ass and have your testicles locked up with Willie’s in her testicle lock box.
Trump is already the head of the populist movement of time after having revealed how corrupt and nasty the establishment is. He is not just a hat in the ring for the Republican party.
Egregiously bazaar, indeed.
The only reason Sununu is saying this is because he is apparently an assistant democrat, globalist, open border, Bushleague RINO schill who probably wants to go back to the days of offshoring jobs and importing the 3rd world.
“We want fighters that can actually win,” Sununu said of Republican voters”
Sununu’s brand of Republican is anything BUT a fighter to begin with. That is why Trump got elected in 2016. People wanted a president that would finally take names and kick ass.
Yeah he’s such a loser he can attract 30,000 people to hear see him blow his nose..yeah if he’s such a loser I wish I was a loser just like him
At the very least. I suspect that that number is much higher.
Hello kettle. Sue knewknew will drain a few votes. Then again, he won’t get that far.
I wouldn’t vote for Sununu for garbage collector.
Exactly. He’s young enough to still be able to mature and shed his RINO tendencies, if he was smart, but as Mark Twain said, “It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt!”
Sununu/Christie 2024 said no one ever.
Good article. Trump is on an unstoppable losing streak that has him within arms reach of the legendary losing record of the French army.
