They do not have to kiss Sununu’s butt. HE has been running for US Senate for years. The governor’s office is just a stepping stone. He is a very popular governor in NH where 1/3 of the electorate calls themselves independents.
NH has an open primary system and same day registration. So, an independent can become a Republican and then change back to be an Undeclared right after voting. Sununu won reelection in a landslide last November. The polls have him winning against Maggie Hassan.
WE need to pick our battles. Sununu, while far from perfect is MUCH better than Hassan. As a resident of NH. I will hold my nose and vote for him.
‘WE need to pick our battles.’
What’s this WE? Can you lead a horse to water? What if that dog doesn’t hunt?
I will hold my nose and vote for him in the general election. But, I will actively work AGAINST him in the primary. He did a horrible job with the pandemic.
