‘Let’s Not Argue About Stupid Things’: Bill Maher Tells Chris Sununu That Trump Has Nomination Locked Up

Comedian Bill Maher said former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley has no shot of winning the Republican nomination to her top surrogate’s face during Friday’s “Real Time with Bill Maher.”

Republican New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu said former President Donald Trump does not have the nomination locked up yet but Maher and panelist Jessica Tarlov both responded he does. Maher was so confident about this that he offered to make a bet with the governor with 100 to 1 odds.

“All [Trump] cares about securing the nomination,” Sununu asserted.

“He has the nomination,” Tarlov responded.

Sununu said Trump does not and mentioned Nikki Haley is still competing for it.

“Nikki Haley. Nikki Haley 2024. I mean it,” Sununu said, pounding the table.

The four-term governor endorsed Haley a month ahead of New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary but she lost to Trump as he won over 50% of the vote.

“Let’s deal in reality,” Maher said. “First of all, Nikki Haley’s not going to be the nominee, it’s going to be Trump. Let’s not argue about stupid things.”

Sununu protested, saying Maher was discounting the voters and that many have still not voted.

“The voters do matter and they’re voting for Trump overwhelmingly,” Maher responded.

“I’ll bet you 100 to 1,” Maher said after Sununu continued to push back. The governor did not say if he would take the bet.

“I’m not saying it’s not a big mountain to climb,” Sununu acknowledged.

“I’m not saying it’s not a big mountain to climb,” Sununu acknowledged.

Only way he could have made that sting more was to offer that hundred to one, any amount up to $10k, any charity he cared to name.

You have to wonder if Sununu is tapping Haley, the way he goes on about her

Nah this guy is just sincerely an idiot, it's in his genes.

RINO in a RINO State.

Owner says he went to a local "republicans" meeting here in town. His district House Representative was leading the meeting - and when put to the test "Do you think the 2020 election was stolen?" - would not answer.

Owner has not gotten an Email invite since then.

"NH Republicans don't exist - they're all RINOs" he says.

And what they did to Karoline Leavitt is proof (i.e. running "independents" funded by the NHRNC to dilute her support.)

The only reason for Haley to keep running is Trump dies, gets arrested or removed from all ballots and they need someone. She would be in the best position if that happened

Sununu is a slippery horses ass, just like his dad and a rino to boot.

We had stuff to do so I didn't see this edition but it was marked copy on DVR; WATCHED IT TONIGHT.

Sununu looks like he was very actively campaigning for some prestigious role in her cabinet should she somehow slither into the Big Chair.

If I can't sleep tonight, I might watch it again.

 

[day late]

Sununu is just confirming his colors.

Skipped ahead a bit and loved it when Maher took a big swipe at FJB over illegals and Biden's continuous whining about needing another law from Congress. He raised the valid point that Biden has enough current laws but they require enforcement.

Really didn't need that mental image.

Really.

and this is exactly what it is, they just don't want to admit it

If FJB & Co were going to execute a "final option" on DJT I think it's likely to be June-Julyish '24. That would make it way too short to get another round of candidacies in play to replace him on the ballot so it would make some sense for her to hang in at least that long.

And, I don't believe her; she said she won't run as his VP but I think if that pork chop hit the floor, she'd INHALE the opportunity.

From the OP...

Chris Sununu simping for Nikki Haley, literally pounding the table for her as he's being ignored like a misplaced child at the adult's table

Maher: "Let's deal in reality. Nikki Haley is not going to be the nominee,

it's going to be Trump. Let's not argue about stupid things"

Maher offers a 100 to 1 dollar bet to Chris Sununu, and Sununu refuses

If Sununu wasn't a soulless husk of a man, this would have been incredibly embarrassing for him
