John Sununu just handed New Hampshire back to Clinton

With his outrageous and tasteless remark --i.e When Clinton said " I did not have sexual relations with that woman" that he was referring to Hillary. A lot of women don't take too kindly to a campaign that makes fun of the woman who was cheated on. Keep it up Republicans and you guys will have your asses handed to you on Tuesday--mostly by people you disparage and make fun of: minorities. Women, latinos, African Americans, immigrants--combine it with the reasonable white Democrats and it will be a blow out !!

--"If you have two bullets, and you see Hitler, Stalin, and Sununu running in different directions, what do you do?"

Answer: "Shoot Sununu twice."

This isn't an endorsement of violence, just showing what a reputation for being a horrible asshole Sununu has across both sides of the aisle.

Nov 2016

"The tuna-size, potato-shaped, Brillo-haired surrogate president of the United States is a smug, snippity, self-satisfied know-it-all who has happily acted as the president's bad cop for everybody from Congress to the Cabinet.

A throwback to Reagan's first term, Sununu is a master of condescension, never quite hiding the contempt in which he holds any challenger he thinks is dumber than he...that is, everyone"

He got fired by Bush I for using government assets for personal use:

As White House Chief of Staff, Sununu reportedly took personal trips, for skiing and other purposes, and classified them as official, for purposes such as conservation or promoting the Thousand Points of Light. The Washington Post wrote that Sununu's jets "took him to fat-cat Republican fund-raisers, ski lodges, golf resorts and even his dentist in Boston. Sununu had paid the government only $892 for his more than $615,000 worth of military jet travel. Sununu said that his use of the jets was necessary because he had to be near a telephone at all times for reasons of national security. Sununu became the subject of much late-night television humor over the incident. Sununu worsened the situation shortly afterwards when, after leaking rumors of financial difficulties in his family, he traveled to a rare stamp auction at Christie's auction house in New York City from Washington in a government limousine, spending $5,000 on rare stamps. Sununu then sent the car and driver back to Washington unoccupied while he returned on a corporate jet. In the course of one week, 45 newspapers ran editorials on Sununu, nearly all of them critical of his actions. Sununu resigned his White House post on December 4, 1991.

He's a grifter, cut from the same cloth as Trump.

I mean really? He is an ass, but voters are going to decide the direction of the country based on that? I certainly hope not. Good grief. I think most voters have made up their minds. And yes if it does change votes it will change to Hillary but do we really want an election decided on this? Really?????

At first I could see it (MAYBE), but after seeing him for a year and a half, Hillary should be getting 80 percent of the vote at least. Weird. I don't get the support for Trump at all.

back in the White House? People are voting for Trump for some pretty ridiculous reasons. At this point, I don't care why someone is voting for Hillary, just as long as they vote for her.
