'Any other Republican candidate would be winning': GOP's Sununu unloads on Trump stumbles

Appearing on CNN "State of the Union" with host Jake Tapper, Gov. Chris Sununu (R-NH) did not express confidence that Donald Trump will prevail in November in his bid for a second presidential term.The New Hampshire Republican, once the leading backer of Gov. Nikki Haley's bid for the GOP nomination until she dropped out, after which he switched sides, sat and watched as Tapper ran a clip of the former South Carolina governor attacking Trump for turning his campaign against Vice President Kamala Harris into a firehose of personal attacks including questioning whether she is "Black."Following Haley stating, "I want this campaign to win. But the campaign is not going to win talking about crowd sizes. It’s not going to win talking about what race Kamala Harris is. It’s not going to win talking about whether she is dumb,” CNN's Tapper asked, "Who is right here? Haley or Trump?"ALSO READ: Donald Trump deep in debt while foreign money keeps coming: disclosure"Well it isn't Donald Trump in this case," Sununu shot back. "Look, as Nicki wouldn't point out because she was the alternative, almost any other Republican candidate would be winning this race by ten points. And so the message is very clear: if you stick to the issues, if you stick to what matters, this should be an easy race for Donald Trump — it really should."Asked later by the CNN host about Trump's highly controversial comments about war heroes who received the Congressional Medal of Hour that led to the Veterans of Foreign Wars slamming the former president for making "asinine" remarks, Sununu agreed."They were asinine, there's no doubt about that again," He stated. "I don't think they're the first asinine comments, former president Trump has ever made."Watch below or at the link. - YouTube youtu.be
