Team Normal’s New Hampshire Nightmare

Tim Miller: “Governor Sununu took a pass on the race, not being particularly keen on jobs where rioters target his office if he doesn’t submit to a game show host’s autocratic delusions, leaving the Republican primary wide open.”

“The man who has filled that vacuum is emblematic of the ‘candidate quality’ issues that sad turtle Mitch recently alluded to.”

“The frontrunner is Brigadier General Don Bolduc. He is not, like Sununu, a popular mainstream R with a track record of success; he’s an absolute loon who lost a Senate primary in 2020 and is a favorite in Bannon’s War Room where he is referred to only as ‘The General,’ as if he were some kind of exiled Kazak communist who Bannon is demanding be released from prison.”

“Which happens to be exactly the profile Republican primary voters are looking for this year.”
