Chris Christie… — 25 Comments

  1. He is a long-time friend of Trump’s. I’m pretty certain he is a shoe-in for AG in a Trump Administration. I don’t think he cares about his falling numbers. He will be out of a job soon and sees a new one on the horizon.

  2. Gov. Christie is governor of a state that is essentially run by Democrats. As such, he doesn’t have a long-term future anyway. K-E is right: he doesn’t care about his numbers. It’s time to go.

  3. It was interesting and somewhat puzzling to watch Christie behind Trump Tuesday night. Christie’s expression was anything but pleased or enthusiastic.

  4. “Christie’s expression was anything but pleased or enthusiastic.”

    Yup, lots of bizarre commentary going around about this. Sort of like trying to read entrails…. the flights of birds… and other auguries. Quaint really.

  5. I focused on the line in the quote about “establishment Republicans” loathing Trump. Got news for the author, the loathing goes well beyond those bounds.

    The buzz this morning is that the Governor of Florida is set to endorse Trump. I am simply mystified. Death knell for Rubio if he does, I would think.

    It will be very interesting to hear what Romney has to say.

  6. The thing that really hurt Christie is this.

    Trump: “Get in the plane and go home. It’s right there.”
    Christie: “Okay.”

    Those six seconds turn Christie into a punk; to make Christie appear to be, if I may use a vulgar term, Donald’s bitch, with all of the degrading connotations that term provides.

    The man who allegedly shut down a bridge in a fit of pique is now seen as weak; a death sentence in politics, where even the women are alpha males.

    I expect that Gov. Christie’s political future is pretty much done now.

    P.S. If my comment here offends our esteemed host too much, I would ask her to edit it as she sees fit; I would fully understand, but that’s the only way I can accurately describe it.

  7. Volokh Conspiracy is pointing out that Cruz is winning the closed primaries, Trump the open ones, and the remaining primaries are mostly closed. Admittedly, that does include Cruz’s home state and an adjoining one, so the conclusion is based on weakened data.

  8. Daniel in Brookline,

    I saw that article over at Ace’s which got me thinking just how big this really is.

  9. “Christie’s expression was anything but pleased or enthusiastic.”

    He’s put all his eggs in Trump’s basket. If Trump loses the nomination, where does that leave Christie?

  10. What’s the over/under on when Christie becomes a Democrat? I would guess 2 yrs.

  11. Maybe I shouldn’t have been surprised, but I had a generally high opinion of Christie before this endorsement. Not anymore. He really should be ashamed of himself.

    That said, some of the tweets and commentary around this have been hilarious. I know Christie has a thick skin (literally! as Joe Biden would say) but it’s got to be deeply embarrassing to him. At least I hope so. Here’s a funny one:

  12. I keep thinking someone put a severed horse head in Christie’s bed, and now he has an offer he can’t refuse…

  13. And now for the other side – the Mittster shilling for the GOPe. Just couldn’t keep his mouth shut. If you didn’t labor very long and hard on the 2012 campaign, you probably don’t know just how clueless the Romney campaign organization was. Now you do.

  14. If more people like Romney come out and make stupid speeches, Trump is a shoe-in. The GOP is incredibly tone deaf to what voters are trying to tell them. Whether you support Cruz or Trump, I think you can agree. Romney and others like him need to sit down and step aside. Their kind of candidacy failed. Please go away.

  15. To I won’t submit:

    Enjoy your nihilistic rage.

    But those ashes are white-hot, and they could burn your little tootsies.

  16. I voted for Romney and think he would have been a better President. I still have respect for him. I also am not an arsonist.

  17. Pain on tootsies is a great teacher.
    No pain no learning.

    Lessons not learned will be repeated.
    Those too attached to their comforts will lose them.
    Lao Tzee

  18. I won’t submit:

    There are many lessons that each generation must learn for itself. I see some different lessons here than you do.

  19. K-E:

    You write that the GOPe is incredibly tone-deaf to what voters are trying to tell them.

    But actually, the GOPe is incredibly tone-deaf to what a third of voters who are voting in the 2016 GOP primaries are trying to tell them (some of whom may be Democrats). The other 2/3 have so far had a different message. Maybe the GOPe isn’t actually tone-deaf; maybe it is trying to listen to the majority of its voters and respond to that.

    I agree, though, that the GOPe has got plenty of problems. See this.
