Then, in her little fantasy, he can confidently build his 2016 presidential campaign, because come the election all will be forgotten and/or forgiven by the electorate.
Wow! Talk about delusional!

(154,021 posts)the electorate has the collective memory of gnats.
Now if he should be convicted of a crime, (not saying one was committed) he might be ordered NOT to vote or run for office ever again. S.E. careful what you wish for.

(154,021 posts)Individual voters are very bright people who can make decisions, But like all herd animals, once you get them in a group, collective intelligence drops... hard.
As to getting the nomination, I always say careful what you wish for. Remember that B star who ran for the WH and actually became a two term President? He had zero chances as I recall.

(154,021 posts)He has two strikes against him
1.- Northeast Pol, therefore perceived as a moderate EEEEWWWWW!!!!
And this.
2.-
I admired him actually for that, being able to put politics to the side for the time it took to solve the immediate crisis, but for tea party activists, he shook the hands of that black man in the WH. So that was going to be a problem already. So his chances went to I think his career is over. If he had not done number two, well he stuck it to the democrat, so that might buy him some street cred.

secondly, if he resigns it clears the way for a host of less desirable (from GOP viewpoint) candidates to take on a Democrat.
christie will stay put, staffers will fall on their swords, case closed

(36,926 posts)I agree. Maybe Cupp knows something we don't.
