Sununu knows better than to think that Trump will get 51% of the vote, or a plurality at all. (Trump hasn't gotten more votes than his opponent in either of his general election match-ups.)
He needs to find a better excuse if he's going to insist on contradicting everything he stood for before this match up, in exchange for future electoral viability.
Sununu was never a Trumpist….but that doesn’t mean he’s for Biden either. Voting for what one would consider the lesser evil (based on your POV) rather than someone you actually support, is hardly a new problem or new reality.
Thanks for this post. In a two party system, there are only two choices. Sununu is a Republican. He has made it clear he doesn't like Trump, but like Brian Kemp he is also not going to support Biden. Is this what I want? No. Could he have not supported Trump? Maybe. I'm glad when pols say they won't vote for Trump, but I am also understanding in cases like this one and Kemp.
In a tip of the hat to good old Paul Harvey; here's the "rest of the story" from JVL (who is far from a pearl clutch-er):
"It is not true that 51 percent of America supports Donald Trump. He’s currently polling at 45.6 percent."
"Trump has never polled higher that 48 percent in the RealClear average1 and even in individual polls, he has only been at 51 percent a handful of times (nearly all of which came from the same pollster)."
Oddly i read JVL's piece from yesterday minutes before reading Steve's. Curious takes from two guys i respect. Supporting the down ballot was obviously apparent in AZ in 2020, and in many of the other battle ground states.
I guess Chris should be thankful that George didn't call him on the polling data. He already told us too many times about how it was all just a reality TV show (or however he whisked away trump's sins).
There-in is the problem with trump, everything is just a reality TV show and there are only two things that matter: 1). What are my ratings? 2). How much money will the rubes send me based off of those ratings.

It’s a 2 party system….so what is one to do?
