Politicians don’t stand with but rather kneel for the NRA.

“That’s not what leadership is.”

This can be said about the entire career of someone who has thrown more trusted aides under the bus when they’re caught breaking the law in his name than anyone in recent memory.

Christie then said he would comment on specific NRA-related issues, but not the organization overall.

The NRA is not going to like that. Doesn’t he know you have to kiss their thuggish jackboots?

This is the guest line up on the five talk shows today. Rubio, McConnell, Trump on two shows, Ryan, Christie, and Cruz. Hillary Clinton and WH Chief of Staff Denis McDonough are also guests on today’s gasbag fests.

What’s wrong with this picture.

“But I’m not going to say I stand with anybody, any particular interest group and give them a blank check,” Christie said. “That’s not what leadership is.”

Yeh, CorpulentChristie. Leadership is QPQ ----Quid Pro Quo writ large.

Leadership Governor Porky Pig is not obviously pandering to the NRA crowd.

Thanks for clarifying that, in your mind, “leadership” is pandering on an issue-by-issue basis, while never admitting that you’re giving a blank check to the special interest groups that you are in fact giving a blank check to.

Christie: Only place I can stand for sure is George Washington bridge. I can block the traffic all by myself.

All that ass-kissing is tough on the knees and back, but in a post Citizens United America, kissing Wayne’s ass can deliver loads of single issue voters.

The problem is those who support universal background checks, the banning of Internet, private and straw and gun show sales for the purpose of avoiding a background check duty, common sense gun safety reform like government compelled manufacture of personalized guns that children, gun traffickers, thieves, thugs, and other unauthorized gun recipients could not fire… yet support gun possession for self defense, sporting and collecting purposes are mostly not single issue voters.

Why are our fake national “news” operations still talking to this blowhard, Christie? His ONLY hope to gain traction is New Hampshire, where he is a DISTANT fourth place!

What SEC states after that does he hope to dazzle? None!

Christie is a failed governor of a state he has practically finished off for good! I say he should go home and bury NJ, since he’s already presided over its demise!

Thanks for sending links to NJ reporting about Christie. It’s always interesting to see him up this close up. What I usually take away no matter how contrary his statements are in relation to earlier ones, is that he sounds reasonable and thoughtful and coherent. We know he’s lying and dissembling throughout, but it might sound good to the uninformed

Was I that convincing? I thought the mockery was self-evident.

Would it kill everyone to stop making disparaging comments about Christie based on his weight? It’s juvenile, insulting, and off-putitng. It’s a level of debate far below the usual TPM standards. And given his record, it’s not like you need to resort to criticizing his physique to find material to attack.
