You know what? I’m kinda happy with the idea of a boring president who just shows up and does their job. If I want excitement I’ll go see the new Spiderman movie.
“We keep losing and losing and losing,” Christie said at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual leadership conference late last year. “The reason we’re losing is because Donald Trump has put himself before everybody else.”
He also has said that Trump “incited” the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the US Capitol “in an effort to intimidate Mike Pence and the Congress into doing exactly what he said in his own words last week: overturn the election.”
In an interview with Axios this year, he vowed never to support Trump again.
“I can’t help him,” Christie said. “No way.”
Asked by an audience member on Tuesday whether he had a plan to win over “Trump voters,” Christie disputed the characterization – and insisted that Republicans should not view people who had previously voted for Trump as an impenetrable group.
“There is no such thing as ‘Trump voters.’ He doesn’t own them. He didn’t take title to them. They’re not one of his buildings. They’re not one of his casinos in New Jersey. They’re not that wreck he’s got in Las Vegas,” Christie said. “I voted for him twice. Am I a Trump voter? Hell no, man.”
I will enthusiastically vote for Biden again. As for age, I have known many 90+ year olds who have the wisdom and smarts to do the job — all of whom I would prefer over ANY Republican.
As a Democrat I would never vote for Chris Christie but I do respect what he has to say about tRump now that he is trying to keep him form getting elected again. Some of his opening statements were played in this, the newest episode of the Bulwark Podcast entitled “Christie Brings the Heat”.
The more Republican candidates there are, the better for tRump. The RNC has set it up so that in each state, whoever gets a plurality gets all the delegates. It doesn’t have to be a majority, just the highest score. tRump’s base – about 30(?) percent of the Republican electorate – will vote solidly for him. The rest of the vote will be divvied up among the others. The more candidates, the fewer votes for each. That will let tRump build up such a huge lead that when candidates start dropping out, thinning the herd, nobody will be able to catch up to him.
Yes – if I were still a Democrat, I’d feel that way. Thankfully we have the blessing of a full and deep bench from which to choose. Although RFK is interesting, too.
