this is one of the most obvious reasons Christie was NEVER a threat in the next Presidential election.
Perhaps a threat to other interested parties in the primary process, but if you dont mind, when was
the last time a fat man was elected President of the US?
Does anyone see that happening?
So, if the threat of Christie was not to the Democratic candidacy, and making the slight leap that
perhaps the modern cable media has a pay to play agenda...
who benefits from this scandal? who has the juice to make it happen?
is wrong doing so closely watched and unacceptable in our system that
Christie stands particularly tall somehow?
I smell BFEE, I see Rove in this mix, and people act like its as simple as it seems.
only when looking in the mirror, Id say.

his weight was one of the most obvious signs he was taking a run in 2016 seriously.

In the opening statement of the trial in July the court was told that the first victim looked up to Villiers-Farrow and spent four months living with him after being physically abused by his own father.

When the accusations were first made in August last year, investigators asked one of the victims to call Villiers-Farrow.

During the conversation, which was recorded without Villiers-Farrow's knowledge, prosecutors said he did not deny sexually abusing the boy.

that physical castration of a sexual predator human male is unthinkable, but for your innocent pets and so forth no sweat.
Genital mutilations of young girls? thats just a shame.
