Relax: that sound is not an earthquake, it’s Chris Christie to the rescue, hurrying to save us all from what he calls the “misery” of another Trump presidential term. You remember that “misery”: low gas prices and inflation rates, reviving American industries, peace in Ukraine and Israel, a reasonably secure border — that’s right, it was sheer hell. And now Chris Christie is going to do all he can to make sure we don’t have to suffer through all that again.
The UK’s Guardian reported Friday that Christie, after failing abysmally to arouse any interest in his presidential candidacy among Republicans, “refused to rule out running on a third-party No Labels ticket.” The Guardian opines that this is “a step most observers rate more likely to damage Joe Biden than Donald Trump,” but Christie himself doesn’t see it that way. The zaftig former New Jersey governor said instead, “You know, I think the way I would look at it is, I will do whatever I can to try to make sure that the country doesn’t go through what I think will be the misery of a second Trump term.”
Wow, thanks, Chris, but of course if you save us from “the misery of a second Trump term,” we’re going to get the exponentially greater misery of a second Biden term, with all the anti-Americanism, socialism, mass migration, inflation, and curtailing of the freedom of speech that four more years of the Biden regime would without any doubt bring upon the American people.
The typically mercurial Christie called No Labels “a fool’s errand” last year, but more recently he was eager to walk those words back: “What I’ve said in the past, is that I’d have to see a path for anybody, not just me, but I think anybody who would accept that would need to see a path to 270 electoral votes. If there was ever a time in our lifetime when a third-party candidate could make a difference, I think it’s now. The question, though, is what kind of difference.”
Christie bases his notion that he could be that third-party candidate who makes a difference upon an indifferent and corruption-plagued stint as New Jersey governor, plus the one successful moment of his brief and disastrous 2016 presidential campaign when he humiliated and mocked Marco Rubio for repeating some campaign patter that Rubio had memorized. As a flustered Rubio struggled to get his bearings and kept repeating the same words, Christie taunted him, saying: “There it is — the memorized 25-second speech.”
This nasty exchange, in which Christie appeared more as a bully than as anything else, was supposed to give us the idea that it was wrong for presidential candidates to have memorized any statements (why?) and that Christie himself was a plain-spoken straight shooter who never, ever doled out any canned answers himself (unlikely). Rubio did indeed come off as stiff, unnatural, and overly reliant upon his prepared material rather than daring to think on his feet, but Christie continues to kid himself if he thinks the incident made him look statesmanlike or presidential. It was no coincidence that his purposeless, passionless, aimless, and self-serving 2016 presidential campaign ended a week later.
Nowadays, however, Christie thinks that berating and ridiculing Marco Rubio seven years ago shows that he has what it takes. During his equally ill-fated 2024 entry into the Republican presidential field, he declared: “You better have somebody on that stage who can do to [Trump] what I did to Marco, because that’s the only thing that’s going to defeat Donald Trump And that means you have to be fearless, because he will come back and right at you.” He apparently did not remind the audience that Trump was among the candidates also in 2016, and Christie didn’t ever seize the opportunity to do to him what he did to Rubio.
The real problem, however, with the idea of a Chris Christie spoiler candidacy now is that it is an open question whether or not he has the backbone to stand up not to Donald Trump but to the leftist authoritarians who are entrenched in Washington. Christie has never shown that he has either any interest in doing so or any ability to do so if he did want to.
Christie wholeheartedly endorses the Left’s Jan. 6 Big Lie, and in playing along with the Left’s propaganda in this way, he shows that he does not have either the will or the wit to stand up to the swamp and restore genuinely representative government to Washington. And would any patriots choose his kowtowing to the Left over a genuine alternative to the Biden regime? Dream on, Mr. Christie.
Hell hath no fury like a fat bitch scorned.
I’m so sorry he & Mitt Romney are still on their never ending period over Trump not putting those cry babies in his administration, but the petty shitheads need to grow up and get over it. (They won’t.)
At least one thing they prove is that Trump didn’t hire too many losers. He sized these fools up and knew not to let these drama-queens anywhere near the White House.
Poor Christie Kreme. He so desperately wants to be revelant between visits to the all you can eat buffets.
Maybe he can get a part time slot on the View…
Part time slot? If he joins with Joy, they’ll bring him on every day.. Imagine the dames hugging Tubby every morning at the start of The View.
Or rubbing his belly for luck.
Yeah, how is he going to “save” us from Trump and the peace and prosperity he would foster again if President? Eat him with a slop bucket of pasta?
“I will do whatever I can to try to make sure the country doesn’t go through what i think will be the misery of a second Trump term.”
I guess that means cheating like they did at the last election
What? Do you really mean that the massive RINO blow up doll, the round mound of anger, is back again, after getting ignored a year ago?
Trust me Chrissy, no one will care again. But have fun hanging with Kinzinger and Dizzy Lizzy Cheney, Mr. Tons ‘o Fun.
Time to put it out to pasture like all the other cows
Christi is exactly the kind of center cut pork barrel RINO enabling the leftists to destroy America. In that regard, I personally believe our country has been led over a cliff of no return. Maybe not so much a few years ago, but now, we’re consigned to the pile of failed nations.
As much as I do not like what you are saying that we are now consigned to the pile of failed nations, it does make me consider how close and possible totally accurate you might be. Still, I believe it is worth the fight to keep our Constitututional Republic even if it splits this nation in two. There are plenty of Patriots who are willing and ready to fight for our freedom and our sovereignty to keep our nation alive even if not totally intact.
I didn’t read the article and being fat does not make me stupid. I hate to break this fact to you most of us do not sit at the trough all day eating sweets. I will never read another article you write. Nor will I be reading the comments either.
Well, fat may not make you stupid, but it does make you a health risk. Carry on with your boycott if you must, but I would recommend you take some of your indignant fat angst and turn it into a more healthy perspective.
You may want to reconsider your first sentence.
Eating sweets isn’t the only thing that makes you fat. The over consumption of carbs (aka, “chronic carbohydrate toxicity”) You body breaks carbohydrates down into glucose: sugar. A rise in blood sugar (glucose) triggers an insulin response. Insulin is the hormone that triggers the body to create and store fat (de novo lipogenesis.)
The problem with eating sweets is that most sugars are at least half glucose and half fructose. The human body uses glucose for energy. The human body has no need or use for fructose. Moreover, the only organ in the body that can process fructose is the liver which coverts it directly into visceral fat. Chronic consumption of fructose leads to NAFLD (Non-Alcoholic Liver Disease), obesity, type-2 diabetes and type-3 diabetes (aka Alzheimer’s), cancer, strokes, heart disease, aneurysms, pancreas failure and an assortment of metabolic diseases and disorders..
They irony of it is, it’s all a self inflicted dietary disorder and for the most part, reversible. If you’re fat, it was a conscience and willful choice to get fat.
He’ll become a perennial candidate, like Harold Stassen, Hubert Humphrey (and Hillary Clinton). In four years the speculation inprint will begin with “Chris Christie weighs 2028….”
“… I’d have to see a path for anybody, not just me, but I think anybody who would accept that would need to see a path to 270 electoral votes.”
In other words, “ANYBODY but Trump, I’ll sell my soul and your mother to keep the UN motherland in power.”
In the words of Bugs Bunny, “what a maroon.”
The lap band slipped. It’s around his brain now.
The only people who take Christie seriously are those poor owners of those “All You Can Eat” Buffets that he bankrupts! I do wonder what DEMONcrat outfit is sponsoring him this time!!
Chris, like Pence, & kinky Niki, voluntarily promised to support the duly elected GOP POTUS and now they are all reneging on that promise. Liars, cheats, & whores everyone of the them. They never intended to abide by that pledge. They all need to be thrown out of the RNC for lying.
If we wait long enough this SWINE will explode.
M.A.G.A.
Maybe chris, liz, mitt, murkowsky and rhona11 can form a party so we can laugh at all of them together. All rhona’s trump hatred and buttkissing couldn’t keep her from getting booted by NBC.
What I’d like to be revealed is WHO is supplying the donuts to keep him going? Even Soros couldn’t afford Chris’s Krispy bill.
Ipso Fatso will keep running his ginormous maw as long as he keeps getting paid to speak. A man of his elephantine girth requires several thousand calories per day to get around and keep jaw-jacking and spewing out bullsh*t. That costs money.!
EVERYONE! Stop body-shaming. “Zaftig.” All of us, stripped to the skin, have some body flaw to be found.
Lori Lightfoot. She did not choose her appearance.
Gov. Abbott. He has a disability but at least MSM and most others leave him alone.
They didn’t hound FDR.
Name calling. Trump. FJB. Both should stop.
Go after your opponents based on their statements and beliefs. You’ll find plenty of bombs to throw.
I dislike the ideas 0f liberals or progressives or dems. But their appearance is not relevant.
I am 100% MAGA.
