Slings And Arrows


By Sniffles

Bearing in mind that it's always a little nerve-racking when Trumpy election deniers get close to winning office, New Hampshire's "Triple MAGA Night" last night could be something for Democrats to celebrate.

That's because three clowns won in the Granite State's GOP primaries to join current Bushie Governor Chris Sununu on the November ballot — something Sununu can't possibly be happy about.

Establishment Republicans spent a ton of money to support Matt Mowers in the First Congressional District, George Hansel in the Second, and, statewide, Chuck Morse for Senate. All lost to certifiable MAGA nutcases. (Senate primary winner Donald Bolduc appeared at his victory party bearing a Braveheart-y shield with arrows stuck in it. Whut?) 

These results made the earth move a bit. For example, Cook Political Report promptly moved the NH-02 race from toss-up to Lean D. So now we cats are wondering: Is there any chance that having to share the ballot with crazy Trumpsters can possibly take down Sununu, too? (Nobody in the press talks about it much, but Benedict Donald is far more toxic to midterm voters than President Biden is.)

Sununu and the Trumpsters losing because of MAGA-itis would drive not just arrows but a dagger into what's left of the Republican Party. It can't come too soon. We cats PURR.
