Sununu Calls for Coalition to Stop Trump, Likely Rallying Behind DeSantis

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.”

Desantis running for president exposed him as person controlled by his handlers and poll tested statements. I didn't know that about him until recently. I don't think he believes in any core principles. He used the transvestite issue to gain popularity with voters. He doesn't come across as a natural person. I don't like fake people and he reminds me of a pure politician.
