New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu on Sunday dismissed Republican president nominee Donald Trump’s statement Friday telling people they “won’t have to vote anymore” if they elect him as standard Trump rhetoric.
“I think it was a classic Trumpism if you will,” he said to host Martha Raddatz on ABC’s “This Week.” Sununu's response to the remarks was in sharp contrast to the way many Democrats heard it — as a genuine threat to American institutions.
Speaking Friday in at the Turning Point Action Believers’ Summit in Florida, the former president said, “Get out and vote just this time. You won't have to do it anymore. Four more years it will be fixed. It'll be fine. You won't have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians."
Trump added: "You’ve got to get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again, we’ll have it fixed so good you’re not going to have to vote.”
Sununu, a Republican, took the word "fixed" to mean that the country could be repaired, rather than future elections to be "fixed" to achieve a certain outcome.
