So this is the latest Republican establishment (GOPe) talking point…
Former Governor John Sununu, a Jeb Bush supporter, told America’s Newsroom if Donald Trump only wins New Hampshire by 12 points he loses–
Keep telling yourself that, John.
“I think Trump will win. I don’t think he’ll win by as much as he thinks he is and as much as the polls say. If he doesn’t win by 12 points I think the perception will be that he lost.’

What a desperate Establishment hack!
How is he still alive?
Is that what he’d be saying if Bush won it by only 12 points?
I was thinking the same thing, but did not say it.
boy, I’m a Cruz guy and even I have to admit that’s pretty @#$#$ing stupid.
I still dont think the Cruz win was a shock.
Easily within margin of error of more than one poll.
Dont think i’ll be jumping up and down saying “we’re no. 1!!” if we lost by 12 lol
This is the guy who thought David Souter belonged on the Supreme Court.
He works for The Cheap Labor Express
Not a Trump fan, but I’m pretty sure that he’d still win if “only” by 12 points.
yeah, WTH!! lol.
no one from that administration wants to die!
Wonder what his FR log on is?
So now since they are losing BIG TIME, they have scheduled 10 more Republican debates. I'm not joking.
And if Jeb gets more than 2% of the vote he is the winner.
This nimrod was talking down the debate on Fox News Sunday. All the other 3 including Chris Wallace said Trump did well then this buffoon flatulates that Trump did horribly only on the basis of the Eminent Domain answer. He had his analysis written before the debate started.
If he loses by less than the polls say, people will start discounting his performance in the polls.
For instance, if the polls say he’ll win by 21, and he wins by 12, people will say, “Gee! He underperformed by 9 points. His legions don’t show up to vote, so if I see he’s winning in South Carolina by fewer than 9 points, I’m going to presume he’ll lose South Carolina, too.”
Unfortunately, there’s been zero data out of SC or any other early state for quite some time now (except Arkansas).
Sununu is a GOPe hack; no doubt about it. However, if Trump wins by 12%, it does not bode well for Trump down the road because Cruz will pick up a majority of the votes for those who drop out.
If the race is down to 3-4 after New Hampshire, Trump will have a very difficult path to the nomination. Once it gets down to 3 after SC, Trump will have an impossible road to the nomination if he does not win SC.
Carson is dead in the water after NH, and his votes will go to Cruz. Carson will eventually come around and endorse Cruz by Super Tuesday.
Does that mean if Jeb loses by 12, he really won?
That’s like saying if he only wins 48 states he lost.
Or only 43. (43 means no other candidate won 8, so no other candidate is eligible to be nominated at the convention.
Sunnunu Mr. Travelgate. LOL!
It will be the meme. First to tout it will be Cruz, bet on it.
