He can't outrun this because his past reputation makes this all too easy to believe. Stick a fork in him: He's done. Not even New Jersey will touch him at this point. He's nuclear. He's toxic.
We've all heard him bluster at little critcisms from unknown citizens-People who he really doesn't have to answer to send him right off the rails. He's got tissue paper thin skin. We all know he's a hot enough head to do something this nasty for such a puny reason: Losing the endorsement from the opposition party.
We also know he's a totally hands-on micro-manager. Governing is sport for him. He doessn't let anyone else move his chess pieces: He won't give up the fun of it.
This is exactly what this seems to be.
Now, who do the GOP have to run?????

Whatta shame. Not

I think that equally important is that he doesn't appeal to either the rabid tea partiers, or the "good old boys" that traditionally run their party. Neither group will look to defend him on this.

Maybe Ryan will run again...just a thought. Or maybe Palin! lol

(954 posts)You want President Christie with access to all that yummy NSA intel? There is no way this man would be able to resist abusing it.

That is if they aren't killed in the great Tea Party revolution that will sweep the nation in March. Heh.
