NH Gubernatorial candidate Frank Edelblut Scared to Even Say Donald Trump’s Name

Concord, N.H. – In a scene straight out of a Harry Potter book, New Hampshire State Representative and gubernatorial candidate Frank Edelblut is bending over backwards to avoid saying the name of a divisive leader threatening to tear apart the fabric of society and bring untold destruction to our communities.

Only it’s not Lord Voldemort…it’s his Party’s presidential nominee, Donald Trump.

Asked by NHPR<http://nhdp.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=99da013f2bd49930e82805c66&id=32110c230e&e=aac58c81e5> if he’d back Donald Trump as the GOP presidential nominee, Edelblut gave a bland and ambiguous statement saying, “"It is critical we grow the New Hampshire and the nation's economy and, as of now, only one candidate has a proven record of creating jobs." When asked whether the “one candidate” was Trump, Edelblut refused to answer.

“That Frank Edelblut is scared to even say Donald Trump’s name shows how toxic and destructive his candidacy is for down ballot Republicans,” said NHDP Press Secretary Evan Lukaske. “Although attaching yourself to Trump is certain to lead to disaster in November, Edelblut should be encouraged that all his Republican opponents have already committed to supporting Trump and his extreme policies.”

The rest of Republican candidates all confirmed their support for Trump this week.

Jeanie Forrester’s top advisor, Mike Denehy told NH1<http://nhdp.us6.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=99da013f2bd49930e82805c66&id=11405e8694&e=aac58c81e5>, “Jeanie will support the Republican nominee for President. If he comes to campaign in NH as the Republican nominee and wants to campaign with Jeanie then she would be glad to do it.”

Executive Councilor Chris Sununu, who stated his support<http://nhdp.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=99da013f2bd49930e82805c66&id=45ad55d6f3&e=aac58c81e5> months ago, confirmed his support again Wednesday, telling WMUR<http://nhdp.us6.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=99da013f2bd49930e82805c66&id=be1d862d76&e=aac58c81e5>, “If Donald Trump is the nominee, I’m supporting Donald Trump.”

Mayor Ted Gatsas also doubled down on his support<http://nhdp.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=99da013f2bd49930e82805c66&id=ba79028093&e=aac58c81e5>, saying, “As I’ve said all along, I will support the republican nominee. As it looks to be Donald Trump, I of course will campaign with him in New Hampshire.”
