Wait. What? Van Moshers open letter to Gov. Chris Sununu threatening to withhold his vote unless he supports Donald Trump? Invoking the Thumper Rule from the Disney movie Bambi, If you cant say something nice, dont say nothing at all. So lets ignore everything that is going terribly wrong (and there is plenty) and just mention that 2.5 million jobs were created in May. Lets not mention that todays economy still has nearly 20 million fewer jobs than it did in February because, well, thats not nice.

The polls show Gov. Sununus approval rating to be far above Trumps. Im doubtful that our governor is worried about Moshers vote. Gov. Sununu is on a short but growing list of Republicans who have the integrity to stand up to the bully in the White House.

I am a solid Democrat but I have respect for Sununu, Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker, Mitt Romney, and others who refuse to knuckle under to this megalomaniacs wrath.

As for Kelly Ayotte, yes, she was popular. She ran a strong race against a very popular Democrat in Gov. Maggie Hassan. If, as Mosher puts it, being a team player requires women to ignore a candidates misogynistic behavior, she should be proud of the stance she took. My advice to Van is to invest in the Disney Channel, remain in the world of fantasy and chill.

SIRI BAKER MOSHER
