He will just whine as usual and go through the 12 steps of why he is still a Republican.

Kook the country has to offer, so he has to ask himself what is he a part of?

He is not on Faux where they believe the swill - he is paid to argue his position on MSNBC and has to try to make a GOP argument against reason and truth. That is very difficult to do because, especially on MSNBC, they will call you out on the lies and make you look like an idiot - which I've watched them do to him over and over. I've watched them basically laugh in his face when he tries to defend some GOP idiotic comment and he just gets this look on his face. (its been fun to watch)

He has to know that he is full of $%#@ and that his arguments make no sense. I hear him agreeing with the left more than he fights for the right lately, all the while claiming to be a republican.

Shine on ,

after that solid Repub block on the Sandy money, I'm thinking Mr. Christie may just about be done too.

Otherwise he started out with the standard support the 2nd amendment jingle that is customary.

If MSNBC is going to have a Republican presence, who better to play the loser?

I don't want him here. But then again the Democratic party is already the party of Reagan so why not?

If anyone needs a new party it's the pro-labor, old school FDR type Democrats.

If that was the deal he's exactly what the GOP has always been about: self interest.
