The Chris Christie political machine has flown off the
rails. By all accounts, Christie’s political future is in a ditch.
And yet, yesterday at the Economic Club of Chicago he showed us why Democrats consider him such a potentially formidable
opponent.
Speaking to an audience beyond Chicago, Christie challenged
the Republican Party:
I
thought political parties were formed in order to win elections, not to be
debating societies, not to be academic institutions to debate the great
esoteric issues of the day. When you win, you get to govern. When you get to govern,
you get to make change.
Well said, to the point, concise and high concept. The hallmarks
of a master communicator.
And yet, where was Chris Christie during the 2012
presidential campaign? Doing everything in his power to elect… which candidate? Did he offer a fire-breathing attack on the president at the Republican Convention? Was Christie out campaigning for Mitt Romney and other Republicans or was he
wrapped in an embrace with Barack Obama.
Christie has raised a lot of money for Republicans, but,
bridge or no bridge, he will not be a viable candidate until he starts throwing
his support toward his fellow Republicans… and helping them to win elections.

So well said, Stuart. Christie has never been my cup of tea. However, he could be if he aids the GOP rather than trying to stand on his bridge to nowhere.
does anyone believe Christie isn't being "promoted" by the MSM in the certainty that he can be defeated come election time?
what's attractive about him?
to any voters,anywhere?
really?

He did not do everything he could when he had the opportunities to.
Yo, Anon! My hand is UP! Remember "Bridgegate"? That's promoting him?
yes,Sam L.
"Bridgegate" and its cognates
are how the MSM "promotes"
anyone to the right of Nancy Pelosi.
you mean you hadn't noticed?
