Former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu (R) is going after Donald Trump days before his state’s first-in-the-nation primary.
“He’s been a loser all his life,” Sununu, 76, told ABC News this week for an article published Friday.
He also hammered Trump’s business record.

“This guy has a history of failure and losing. He’s a perpetual loser.”
It’s the latest salvo in a brewing feud between Trump and the former New Hampshire GOP chairman and chief of staff to ex-President George H.W. Bush.
Sununu had highlighted Trump’s second-place finish in the Iowa caucuses.
“I think Trump’s loss will remind people that the guy has a history of losses,” Sununu told The New York Times on Tuesday.
Trump responded, calling the remark a “ridiculous attack” during an interview earlier this week with ABC.
He’s also dismissed Sununu as a “loser.”
The billionaire is currently leading polls in the Granite State ahead of votes being cast on Tuesday.
