He's recently resigned from his position at the New England Law | Boston private school, and considering a run for Chris Sununu's seat, or against Maggie Hassan.

Seems like old news who would easily lose to a Trump-endorsed candidate in a primary, but he's still considered a big what-if of recent history.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Lmao I thought this was a necropost. Move on, loser.

[NewYorkExpress]

He'd be better off trying to run in Massachusetts in the unlikely event that Charlie Baker retired, or waiting until 2024, and attempting to run a rematch with Elizabeth Warren.

Lol he’d get blown out running against Warren in 2024.

[Fight for Trump]

He's one of the politicians I identify with most and would do a great job.

[Anti Democrat Democrat Club]

Cuck. Enjoy getting blown out.

They don't have anyone but Sununu or Brown, the R party doesn't have much of a bench in GA, AZ, NV, NH, WI and this Lean R WI is silly, because the only person to lose all three Rust belt is Hillary, Biden and Obama won WI three times

Rs Hillary is gone, you won't win MI, PA or WI the only state they have a chance is GA due to Abrams haven't decided to run and Voter Suppression

Even if VR passed, R still have structural advantage DeWine, DeSantis, Reynolds and Abbott have the same structural advantage as Shapiro, Wolf, Pritzker, Evers , Walz and Whitmer

I used to work in the town that he lived in in Massachusetts. Real WASPy place where everyone has money. Remember how his big thing was “he was just a regular guy with a pickup truck?” He bought that pickup truck for the sole reason of attaching a horse trailer after his daughter got into into equestrianism. Real regular blue collar guy.

[MillennialModerate]

I honestly think he would win.

If Sununu doesn’t run for Senate, I think Brown has a real shot of winning. When he ran in 2014 he had the carpetbag thing around his neck for one and for two he was running against
Jeanne Shaheen who is very popular in New Hampshire - Hassan isn’t.

[Sir Mohamed]

Did he figure out which lane to play? The dude started off as moderate New England GOPer, actually did reasonably well both in 2012 against Warren and almost beat Shaheen in 2014 before jumping on the MAGA train very early in 2015 to support the orange buffoon. That should be a major obstacle in a state like NH, even in a 2022 environment.

[beaver2.0]

If any Republican wins I want it to be him because him being senator from two states amuses me.

At least that’s an actual reason to get a truck.

A GMC Canyon like the one he owned is a very inappropriate truck for hauling a horse. It might technically be doable, but nobody but the dumbest amateur would attempt to do it. You don't need a horse trailer for your kid to do equestrian anyway. He probably just bought the truck for the same reason any lawyer buys a truck - for the looks, and to feel good about being able to carry stuff around now and then.

lol
Does he seriously think he can win anything in NH?

Glad to see I can safely protest vote now.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Hassan is favored anyways

Brown is extremely close to Trump and if he's running for something he basically certainly has Trump's endorsement. He was a primary-era supporter, if I recall correctly.

[President Johnson]

Winning an open governor's seat if Sununu goes for senate is definitely easier here, though still a longshot after he lost moderate credentials in his pact with the devil.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

I was just about to post this. He was Trump's ambassador to a semi-major, democratic ally (New Zealand), a de facto patronage position. Just because he's a #Moderate Northeastern Republican doesn't mean he's a Phil Scott-style Trump critic. In many ways he's cut from the same cloth as someone like Pete King.

[Progressive Pessimist]

I would prefer a still somehow worse candidate to take on Hassan, but I'll take anyone over Sununu!

[JMT]

I still find it puzzling that Scott Brown ran for Senate in NH instead of MA Governor in 2014. He wouldn’t have had to move out of state, and he probably would’ve defeated Charlie Baker in the primary (or maybe even cleared the field) and very well could’ve won the general election against Coakley (he’d already defeated her 4 years earlier for senate).

If Scott brown had run for Governor of MA, there’s a decent chance he’d still be Governor right now.

Or if he really wanted a Senate seat, he could’ve ran in the 2013 special election in MA. He probably would’ve won that race as well (but probably wouldn’t have held the seat for very long, given how Democratic MA is on the federal level).

[Pollster]

The Dino Rossi of the east.

[UncleSam]

The Dino Rossi of the east.

Remind me, when was Dino Rossi in the senate?

He’s the Doug Jones of the GOP. All we need for the comparison to be complete is for Jones to run for senate in GA and lose.

Also there’s a way higher chance Brown would win for Governor than for Senate. But I think he’s done with politics regardless.
