Chris Sununu’s hidden identity and jealousy towards Rand Paul
The Rockefeller Wing of the Republican Party: Gov. Chris Sununu’s Fervid Devotion to Nikki Haley
The Republican Party’s Rockefeller wing is alive and thriving in the form of Gov. Chris Sununu (R-NH). This ski resort CEO and rugby enthusiast has become the darling of the legacy media, earning the title of a Trumpophobe.
Sununu is the epitome of someone who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and believes he achieved success solely through his own efforts. Despite governing a state with a population of only 1.4 million (less than my hometown of Philadelphia), he deludes himself into thinking he wields national influence. It’s worth noting that Kentucky, a state with three times the population of New Hampshire, holds more weight. Additionally, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has a staggering 73 times more followers on X (formerly known as Twitter) than Sununu.
Not only does Sununu possess the audacity to believe that his endorsement of fellow Rockefeller Republican Nikki Haley holds weight, but he also has the nerve to dismiss the importance of Paul’s opinions. Sununu should take a long, hard look in the mirror. If there were Olympic sports for obscurity and ignominy, Sununu would undoubtedly be a multiple gold medalist.
The Schism in Today’s Republican Party: Paul’s Support for Trump vs. Sununu’s Support for Haley
What drives Sununu’s fervent devotion to Haley? Why does he cast aspersions at Paul on national television? The answer lies in the stark differences between Paul’s support for former President Donald Trump and Sununu’s support for Haley. These differences highlight the division within the Republican Party: the traditional, business-as-usual GOP versus Trump’s drain-the-swamp GOP.
Sununu represents a bygone era when Wall Street and business lobbyists held sway over the Republican Party. They prioritize profit-making over social policy and avoid offending anyone to maintain good business relations. As an example, Sununu went against his own party’s legislators by signing bills affirming transgender rights. He also opposed Republicans by signing bills prohibiting discrimination against transgender individuals in public accommodations and school participation. In contrast, Paul has a staunchly pro-life stance and a 100% rating from the National Right to Life Committee.
However, the real divergence between Paul and the Sununu/Haley faction lies in foreign policy. Paul aligns with the average taxpayer who funds wars and mourns the lives lost in them. One of Paul’s reasons for opposing Haley is her admiration for the United Nations and its leaders, even stating that they “think alike.” Haley also disagreed with Trump’s decision to withdraw troops from Syria and Afghanistan, advocating for continued U.S. presence in both regions.
The Influence Divide: Paul’s Impact vs. Sununu’s Irrelevance
While Sununu may believe he possesses the gravitas to sway voters in favor of Haley, his background suggests otherwise. Sununu is not a serious figure, and his support for Haley holds no weight. The disparity between the two is clear-cut: Sununu was a ski resort CEO, while Paul founded a charitable organization providing eye exams and surgeries to those in need.
Paul’s pro bono patients value his opinions, as do many others. Sununu’s views, on the other hand, lack the same influence. The Kentucky senator’s perspectives resonate with a far larger audience than those of an obscure politician from New Hampshire.

How does Governor Chris Sununu’s endorsement of Haley reflect his position within the Rockefeller wing of the Republican Party
Ual, establishment Republicans versus the populist, anti-establishment Republicans.
Paul’s support for Trump stems from his belief in limited government, individual liberty, and fiscal conservatism. He sees Trump as a disruptor of the political establishment, an outsider who challenges the status quo and fights against the deep state. Paul appreciates Trump’s efforts to cut regulations, lower taxes, and bring jobs back to America. He recognizes Trump’s commitment to America First policies, putting the interests of American citizens ahead of globalist agendas.
On the other hand, Sununu’s support for Haley reflects his alignment with the Rockefeller wing of the Republican Party. This faction represents the old-guard Republicans who prioritize maintaining the status quo, preserving the interests of big corporations, and catering to the elites. Haley, a former ambassador to the United Nations and establishment figure, embodies these values. Sununu may see her as a more moderate and palatable choice, someone who can appease the mainstream media and the political elite.
However, Sununu’s choice to dismiss Paul’s opinions shows a lack of understanding of the changing dynamics within the Republican Party. Paul, with his strong grassroots support and his alignment with Trump’s agenda, represents the growing influence of populist conservatism. Sununu’s support for the establishment, embodied by Haley, may appeal to a certain segment of the party, but it fails to resonate with the broader base.
Moreover, Sununu’s claim of wielding national influence is questionable at best. His position as the governor of a small state does not grant him the same level of influence as senators or congressmen from more populous states. While Sununu may have the media’s attention now, it is likely temporary and fleeting. His endorsement of Haley may matter in New Hampshire, but it holds little weight on the national stage.
In conclusion, Gov. Chris Sununu’s fervid devotion to Nikki Haley represents the Rockefeller wing of the Republican Party, which favors establishment politics and corporate interests. Sununu’s dismissal of Sen. Rand Paul’s opinions demonstrates a lack of understanding of the changing dynamics and increasing influence of populist conservatism within the party. While Sununu may have garnered attention from the legacy media, his claim of national influence is dubious at best. As the Republican Party grapples with divisions, it remains to be seen which faction will ultimately shape its future.
