Gov. Sununu is "embarrassing."

New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) criticized the Republican voters from his home state who appeared at CNN’s town hall with former President Trump for their reaction to his mocking of author E. Jean Carroll. “It was embarrassing,” Sununu told MSNBC’s Jen Psaki in an interview set to air Sunday.

The article has a link to a tweet flagging the interview.  I watched and listened to part of it.  I found it "embarrassing," even if Sunnunu selectively said the right things that make him seem "moderate."  

Psaki (who as an interviewer so far seems standard and not big on the follow-up question) opened by noting that in the past he said if Trump was the nominee, Sununu said he would support Trump. I find this basically disqualifying.  The "basically" is a bit generous but I'll pick my spots if they show some other usefulness.  

What about now?  He wouldn't say.  Trump is such a loser, he very well might not be the nominee. Uh-huh.  (Asa Hutchinson, sort of the Kasich figure in this race by the way actually criticized Trump after the verdict, which Psaki didn't note in her commentary on the wishy-washy nature of Republican replies.)  How about if he IS the nominee? Answer the damn question.  

Other than such wish casting (naive given the current competition), he had more usual talking points.  Abortion?  Divisive issues the people should be allowed to decide on at the state level.  Guns?  Well, "Second Amendment says ..."  He also badmouthed Republicans who play chicken on the debt level, but "both sides" it by claiming nearly everyone in Congress is ignorant about the economy.  Typical state official taunt.

[Planned Parenthood has announced they are all-in on court reform, including expanding the Supreme Court.]

Republicans wanted him to run for senator in what seems a winnable state but basically, he didn't want to join the clowns.  Yeah.  But, he wants the clowns to have complete control of the federal government.  Sununu rather not one of them be Trump, but if he actually is the nominee, betcha he won't be for Biden.  

Talk about clowns.

A little personal tidbit.  My phone charger was driving me crazy recently because the cable is worn out.  At times, I would plug it in, and the power would quickly go down

I ordered a cable on eBay for under $4 and it's working. Example of how a little thing can avoid a lot of annoyance.
