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.

The GOPe, captains of the Titanic, are worried about the horrid weather when the ship pulls into port.
then the GOP drives its own stake in its heart once Hillary is sworn in.
The GOP wanted more people voting, and now Trump has done that the GOP does not want it.
What the GOP really wants is to keep lock stock in step with the left wing, have their open borders, and to hell with social issues so they can too enjoy their elitist cocktail parties in DC with the liberals and socialists.
Worried for the party, never has been worried for the country.
Able to fight us the voter, unable to fight the left wing.
I think we all know by now that the GOP for the most part is with the left wing and for their agenda.
This statement by John Sununu simply defies logic.
If you introduce another candidate - after Trump is the nominee - it will further divide the Repubs - and Hillary will have an even better chance of skating to victory.
You can’t get much more stupid then that.
you are joking right?>
Who told you that?
well said
great point!
Can someone please tell the RNC that it is WE THE PEOPLE who vote and to let the people decide???
Bush I is not doing much now.
They simply cannot deal with all “The Winning”
Ah no.
I have standards. I will never vote Trump or Hillary.
EVER. EVER.
Now what was that loyalty pledge all about again?
Trump is Fort Sumter in human form.
When a major political party is publicly plotting to derail its leading candidate, it makes one wonder what happened to the country.
The Tories used to decide who the leaders would be under the federalist system . . . but we are a republic . . . but I’m thinking we may well have lost it.
So you don’t vote, but you have a socialist hack voting .
This your vote will not count, because you could not be bothered, but their vote will count because they could be bothered.
Got it.
Out of curiosity did you want Bush and then now Rubio, and are you the establishment elitist type who is having a baby tantrum because the voters don’t want your boy?
The way these elituist are going it’s as if they want another war with the people.
