New in PJ Media:
Gov. Chris Sununu of New Hampshire is getting some pushback for remarks he made Saturday about Donald Trump, and now he claims that it was “all in fun.” Sure. But then again, maybe it wasn’t. Sununu is the Mitt Romney of the Granite State. Like Romney, he is representative of everything that is wrong with the Republican Party establishment: Sununu is all too eager to adopt and further the Left’s views and policies and views Republicans who aren’t part of the establishment as his political enemies. And they are.
Chris Sununu comes from an old New Hampshire Republican family, and of course, that is part of the problem. His father, John H. Sununu, was governor of New Hampshire from 1983 to 1989, and then served as George H. W. Bush’s chief of staff. Chris’s brother, John E. Sununu, was a congressman and then a senator from New Hampshire. Chris has never been known to be the sharpest knife in the drawer; he is the Fredo of the family.
Fredo was in fighting form Saturday evening at the Gridiron Dinner. He started by praising Trump’s “experience,” “passion,” and “sense of integrity,” and then abruptly changed his tone: “Nah, I’m just kidding. He’s f***ing crazy.” Sununu didn’t stop there but piled on even more: “The press often will ask me if I think Donald Trump is crazy. And I’ll say it this way: I don’t think he’s so crazy that you could put him in a mental institution. But I think if he were in one, he ain’t getting out!”
Since the laughs died down, however, Sununu has been feeling the heat. Never known to have much of a spine, Sununu is backtracking furiously. “It’s all a joke,” he insisted Monday on a New Hampshire podcast. “Look. I don’t think he’s crazy. It’s all in fun. It’s all a joke. And anyone who’s trying to make this more than it is either seriously doesn’t understand what the Gridiron Dinner is all about or just has to lighten up a bit.”
Apparently, that didn’t do the trick, so Sununu went on another show and demanded that “if anyone is taking any of those jokes seriously, lighten up. It’s a roast. It’s fun … I made jokes about my own family and myself and Republicans as much as I made fun about Democrats and Joe Biden and AOC and Bernie Sanders and socialists.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Clearly, the only way to save Our Democracy is to neuter conservatives.
If you don’t, conservatives cheat by offering better ideas.

Joke my butt. He meant it. A lot of establishment Republicans can’t stand Trump because he didn’t play by their rules. Trump plays by nobody’s rules and that is one of many reasons why he was so effective.

New Hampshire’s RINO Governor in Firestorm After Slamming Trump as ‘F***ing Crazy’
………….
Not really a joke. Sununu was just surprised that anyone in today’s environment called him out, and he is too cowardly to own his words.

Actually, the Sununus are Palestinians, and have more in common w/ Rashida Tlaib than Donald Trump
James Lincoln says
The “old establishment” RINO Republicans are even worse than the Democrats.
At least with a Democrat, you know what you’re getting.
RINOs are bait and switch…
