John Sununu, the former New Hampshire senator and John Kasich supporter, urged Republican voters to “choose the strongest nominee they can — someone who will win.” But he thinks Republicans may “look at alternatives” if “we have a nominee who is a disaster for the party.”
On Breitbart News Daily, Stephen K. Bannon asked Sununu what he thought about the potential for a third party candidate should Trump become the nominee. Sununu cautioned that if Hillary Clinton is not defeated, she would continue Obama’s agenda, and would be able to appoint a Supreme Court nominee.
“That is one of the reasons why people need to look at John Kasich because he will win. He’ll win Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire,” Sununu added, claiming that top contenders Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)97% and real estate developer Donald Trump have “no chance” to win those states against Hillary Clinton.
“Whoever the nominee is, I think and I hope that Republicans support them, but what you’re talking about is a hypothetical where what happens if we have a Donald Trump who is running 10, 15 points behind HIllary Clinton,” Sununu said. “There’s been a lot of polling showing Trump is the weakest Republican we could put up.
“What Republicans will do, if we have a nominee who is a disaster for the party, a nominee who is trailing badly, are they going to look at alternatives? I can’t tell you,” he added.
“I want a Republican who is strong, who will generate broad support across the spectrum,” Sununu said of Ohio Governor John Kasich, who he is supporting.

For brevity and accuracy, that can't be bettered.
Mr. niteowl77
THEY will vote for Hillary but polls show 80% of the American people oppose illegal immigration. WE will be voting their asses out.
I think it’s over for them.
John Sununu hasn’t noticed that Boobio, Cruz and Kasickness are niche candidates... that’s why they are where they are. A niche candidate can’t beat Hillary, period.
The only broad-based GOP candidate who can is Trump. But the GOP establishment is completely deranged. They won’t assess the Trump phenomenon on its merits.
So they want re-run Romney, who lost the last election to Obama and who lost to the guy he ran against before. They have no principles, no imagination, no glory and no guts.
All they can offer is the past.
But he thinks Republicans may “look at alternatives” if “we have a nominee who is a disaster for the party.”
I assume he’s talking about the Bushes.
The GOPe are utterly clueless. They just don’t realize the depth of the anger conservatives have for them.
Sununu indicated his comment on alternatives applied to both Trump and Cruz. The GOPe will not allow Trump or Cruz to become the nominee if at all possible. Cruz and Trump supporters have to realize we are in this together to take down the GOPe. Rubio and the establishment are our enemies not each other.
Actually, they already have those candidates and I meant to say candidates rather than candidate.
They should support Kasich in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania.
They should support Rubio in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi.
They should support Cruz in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Louisiana, and Arkansas.
Those candidates in three-way races will likely win enough electoral votes to deny the 270 electoral votes need to win the December election (when the electors vote in their state capitals) to both Hitlery and the German version of her. The House will then vote to elect the President from the top three vote-getters for that office in the Electoral College.
The Senate will elect the Vice President from the top two vote-getters for that office in the Electoral College.
The POTUS elected in the House is not likely to be either Hitlery or Hitler-light.
The VPOTUS is not likely to the running mate of either of those two either.
Nomination, anyone? Is Peyton Manning a Republican?
Maybe they’ll offer a McCain/Graham ticket?
Let’s ask Karl Rove - he knows everything, and is always right!
I've never cared less about the "spectrum".
Remember is was RINO Sununu who convinced Bush Sr. to appoint SCOTUS David Souter (stealth conservative justice) who turned out to be a hardcore leftist. This old jerk has no standing or credibility.
LOL
This would be denying the will of the American people..oh wait..
GOPoo
I will pray for you, that you recover from your derangement.
Rubio is their alternative, Romney is a has-been who failed them 4 years go.
But you gotta admit Souter is way more consevative than Trumps’ liberal sister.
Spoken like a true elitist party hack!!
