The larger issue here is what Christie did to NJ is the exact same thing the House GOP

is doing to the entire country.

Even though Christie did come across as "somewhat reasonable", those guys share the same DNA.

They are a vengeful, evil, destructive gang of bullies that look at the average citizen as collateral damage in their quest to be vengeful, evil, destructive bullies.

"They are a vengeful, evil, destructive gang of bullies that look at the average citizen as collateral damage in their quest to be vengeful, evil, destructive bullies."

...Christie can't bullshit his way out of this, and there is going to be an investigation.

I don't recall him being anything but a virulent bully, jerk, and opportunist.

who make the Democrats that cozy up to big business and have sold out liberalism look just that tad better to vote for. I swear it is all part of some plan to keep this country leaning right. Welcome to the United States that 200+ years of choosing the lesser evil has brought us.

We have two who are busily either suing people, firing people, and getting sued, while ignoring the voters and opt to party with hundreds of thousands from our revenue in order to pay their frat boy friends. They are also well connected to Dana Rohrabacher, who is one of the original nasty frat boys who enjoys belittling people, lying outright on the phone, and trashing property.

They have no Scruples, and probably don't know the meaning of the word.
