Former New Hampshire GOP chairman and prominent anti-Trump voice Fergus Cullen downplayed President Trump’s strongest hand — the economy, predicting poor performance in the Granite State.

Cullen, speaking on Herald Radio on Thursday, said, “I just think it’s kind of far-fetched to think that with numbers this bad that New Hampshire is going to be competitive — nationally and in New Hampshire there’s never been a president with numbers this bad while the economy is this good.”

Cullen said Trump “turned off” and “alienated” the voters needed to win in competitive states, noting that the president’s approval rating in New Hampshire is just 42%.

Although Trump typically touts a successful economy, Cullen said Trump has been irrational and inconsistent on trade, making it difficult for businesses to plan for the future.

“He doesn’t have a worldview when it comes to economics except that it is a winner and loser situation,” said Cullen.

Cullen said voters are open to seeing a Republican primary opponent on the ballot, mentioning presidential hopeful Bill Weld and South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford.

“There is going to be an alternative on the ballot,” said Cullen.

But New Hampshire Republican activist Fran Wendelboe, who also spoke on Herald Radio Thursday night, said support for Trump is strong in the Granite State.

“I think the president is very strong and I predict that he’s going to win New Hampshire,” said Wendelboe.

“I think Republicans are very excited about Trump,” said Wendelboe. “And there’s that silent majority out there that doesn’t want to talk about it, they’re not political people, but yet they’ll turn out to vote.”

Wendelboe said Democrats have gone “too far to the left” and in addition to the silent majority, independent voters will also come out to support Trump.

Contrary to Cullen, Wendelboe said Trump can still lean on the economy as one of his strong talking points. “Nobody can argue with the economy, you know, we are blessed with the stock market and I’m not that concerned with this.”
