I have in the past enjoyed Chris Christie's attitude and his tough stance on unions, but after his recent behavior it's obvious that his future career as a leader in the republican party is DONE!.....He might was well become a democrat, he's got no future in the republican party. He's never been a conservative anyway....
Laura Ingraham: ‘It would not surprise me if Chris Christie at some point became a Democrat’

Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who came out long ago in favor of his party’s nominee Mitt Romney’s candidacy for president, apparently upset a lot of people on the conservative side for his embrace of Romney’s opponent, President Barack Obama in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. And according to conservative talker Laura Ingraham, it was taken to the point of “embarrassing himself.”
On her Tuesday radio program, Ingraham, the author of “Of Thee I Zing: America’s Cultural Decline,” criticized the New Jersey governor for his latest comment expressing his excitement in hearing from Obama supporter and rock star Bruce Springsteen.
“Speaking of embarrassing himself, Chris Christie … was out there and he was very excited, not because he’s voting for Romney,” Ingraham said. “He’s excited because he got a phone call: not just from the president of these United States, but he got a phone call from Bruce Springsteen.”
Ingraham went on to point out that Christie shares a character trait with Obama in that he often talks about things in context of himself.
“You know what, I’ve just got to say this: He has a lot more in common with Obama than we thought,” she said. “It’s all about Chris Christie. ‘My Jersey Shore,’ ‘my roller coasters underwater,’ ‘my hero Bruce Springsteen,’ ‘I have to pinch myself to go on Air Force One as the son of an Italian immigrant,’ or whatever he said.”
“Me, me, me, me, me. And I know he’s done a lot of good things for a lot of good people, and there is something about me that does like Chris Christie at times. But I find his behavior in all of this to be really just bizarre at this point.”
But she also suggested that these signs point to Christie becoming a Democrat, which she said wouldn’t surprise her.
“Let me tell you something , Chris Christie — it would not surprise me if Chris Christie at some point became a Democrat,” Ingraham said. “Doesn’t surprise me one bit. It really doesn’t, in the end.”

Good post. The "my guy no matter what" mentality in NY/NJ will float a long regional political career for Mr. Christie. But he is done on the national Republican stage.
ReplyDeleteThis also lends reinforcement to concerns that were raised about him during the Republican convention when all he did, basically, was to talk about himself.
In the end, he suffers from the same narcissism that Obama does, which is really a function of deep seated ego-insecurity. We don't need another one of those on the national political scene right now.
