New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) said in an interview he passed on running for Senate because he didn’t want to simply be a “roadblock” to President Biden for two years.

“I was pretty close,” Sununu told The Washington Examiner about weighing a Senate bid. “I wasn't ready to make an announcement, but I was like, 'OK, this makes sense. I think I could be a voice nationally."

Sununu needs to be primaried out as Governor. He’s a Derp State hack and joke.

I told you before that this guy was squishy.

Now he’s a sub-amoeba.

In an ideal world, NH would pass a law barring Governor’s kids from running for office. That would eliminate about 90% of the GOP establishment’s candidates for statewide office over there.

And you may recall that fellow pampered Governor’s kid Judd Gregg withdrew his name for 0bama’s cabinet post a few years ago, citing similar reasons (”Gosh, I don’t want the times I voted with my party to be obstacle to President 0bama getting his agenda passed...”)

Exactly right. While we may not win this seat, it’s no great loss if Sununu was in.

I agree with you, though we always get back to the “80/20.”

These people-—just as Manchin-on-a-Hill and Enema do with the DemoKKKrats-—will vote with you on 90% of the bills that don’t matter, or which matter little. Yes, you will get their vote on all the district & appellate judges. But not on Supes, not on KEY bills.

GLad we will find someone else and if we lose, so be it. No more McTurds.

Idiot doesn’t understand stopping the left from passing bad stuff is more important than anything else or that passing more good stuff under GOP control wasn’t possible cause of the filibuster (which unfortunately we need to keep to stop the left).

Doesn’t want to help the GOP in redistricting either. Total garbage person.

I thought Gregg withdrew when he realized Obama was gonna take control of the census bureau away from the Commerce Department.
