(10,942 posts)1. I didn't see that happen. Christie doesn't and never seemed to have principles that drive a
Democrat.

as worthwhile. But if there is proof their philsophy of governance does not support our values, they can go to hell.
At one time, long before I knew anything about CC, I thought he had a change during the Sandy coverage, and could at least be an ally, if not a friend. Then came the videos of his bullying the teachers and the proof he was villifying them for the Koch brothers and his promises to break the unions there and elsewhere.
He can never be a Democrat. And the rest of the GOP just like him, Walker, LePage, Scott, Perry, Brownback, et al, are fully on the side of fascism and cannot be redeemed. It won't happen.
That's what I mean by scorpions.

(10,893 posts)8. I heard a few
people mentioning the idea of him switching over, just to prove a point of how extreme and unyielding the GOP has become, but nobody I know of (either on TV, online, or in RL) has been hoping that he would. That would be stupid.

(68,868 posts)12. did that happen here.
to be charitable, can perhaps be attributed to sentimentality in aftermath of Sandy due to the trauma of that event.
