Sununu Says Christie Should Drop Out Ahead of New Hampshire Primary
New York Times ^ | 12/31/23 | Anjali Huynh

Posted on 01/01/2024 6:27:11 AM PST by cotton1706

Just weeks before New Hampshire holds its Republican presidential primary, the state’s governor, Chris Sununu, said on Sunday that Chris Christie’s presidential bid was “at an absolute dead end” and suggested that he drop out to pave way for Mr. Sununu’s preferred candidate, Nikki Haley.

Mr. Sununu, who this month endorsed Ms. Haley, the former governor of South Carolina and United Nations ambassador, told CNN that “the only person that wants Chris Christie to stay in the race is Donald Trump.”

He framed the race as a “two-person contest” between Ms. Haley and Mr. Trump, whom she now trails in New Hampshire by an average of 20 percentage points.

“There’s no doubt that if Christie stays in the race, the risk is that he takes her margin of the win,” Mr. Sununu said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

I'd say "sad trombone sound" but with Christie should be "sad tuba sound"

It’s a two person race between Trump and Not Trump. Generally speaking people don’t vote “against” a candidate , they just don’t vote at all.

This shows what clueless fool Sununu is. Christie’s electoral chances are completely irrelevant. Several super wealthy rat donors have given the rat mole a huge pile of money to be in the race with the sole purpose of Trashing Trump at every opportunity. He will stay in as long as he can.

Christie will NEVER drop our so long as his campaign continues to pay for the all-you-can-eat buffets that Christie gorges himself at every single day!

Christie is no different than Kasich, they are just about raking in the fundraising money to the last penny.

Christie the Hutt is only in the race to trash Trump. He has no other agenda, and this is why he is being funded. People should stop paying attention to him.

There’s is bit of difference but the effect is the same. Kasich’s money came mostly from the GOPe. Christie’s comes from rat donors.

As long as the GOP watches out where they drop him, we all should be okay.

I love seeing the never-Trumpers infighting like this.

That was my thought as well—if he dropped out on Martha’s Vineyard he might sink Obozo’s mansion.

Christie’s job in this primary is to try to destroy Trump and any other candidate who gains traction. This primary is Christie’s audition for his ‘pundit’ gig as the token conservative in panel discussions on cnn, msnbc and the alphabet networks.

Sununu also says he'll vote for The Big Guy rather than Trump. I have DJT considers New Hampshire to be a tossup state as he did in ‘16 and ‘20. If he does that means I'll get to see him at least once more...and maybe more than once.

IIRC he’s announced that he won’t be seeking political office once his term in NH expires. SO IOW he’s got a gig lined up with MSLSD as their “principled conservative”.

So, Sununu wants Krispy Kreme to exit the race, to help Neo-Con Nikki.

He must be having magic vaccine after-effects.
