I coulda been president he said over three cheeseburger wrappers and a milkshake

So far even the tRump administration doesn’t want him and after he’s done as Governor…he’ll be lucky if someone will hire him as a NJ dogcatcher. Who the fuck wants his sorry ass? Some loser law firm or GOP brain trust? What’s he down to in approval now? 10%?

Some of that water, I assume, was good water.

Christie’s comment is really a bridge too far…

Chris. For God’s sake just shut up, fade away into obscurity, and try to figure out where you first started to go wrong. Work in the Peace Corps. Join a monastery. Stop being a vindictive angry jerk. While there’s time, Chris.

WHEN he left office , his approval rating was hovering around a lofty 20 percent, so yeah he’d be doing the same thing he always does,blowing smoke and pissing people off with no official capacity…good riddance but you know he will be back…the whole party is like collection of bad pennies…

He would have eaten the competition

So he has a thing w Putin too? Without Russia, Trump wouldn’t have “won”. A problem that still hasn’t gone away. The cull of voter’s info will be used. It’s what “wins” elections. Messages are shaped to their target and opposition voters disqualified. It’s come a long way from Republicans harvesting church registries.

Just another entry in the Chris Christie diary of delusions of adequacy…

If not for Trump’s giant ego, Christie would also be the most egotistical.

sanni · January 8, 2018, 5:27pm

Had a similar reaction. “So what would Putin want?” - and then… Well, he was involved in the campaign, and for a while head of the transition… did he just imply that Mueller ought to be taking a closer look into his own actions (as in he, too, had favor of Putin - and just what might that have looked like.) Okay - I am joking.

Here is the question - has Christie always been this stupid/delusional - or does spending too much time in the Trupmpian bubble have some kind of imposed delusions effect?

sanni · January 8, 2018, 5:27pm

well… ~cough~ Cruz ~cough~

What a pathetic attempt to stretch his 15 minutes into 20.

tena · January 8, 2018, 5:35pm

O for christ’s sake Krispy Kreme. In your dreams you deluded walrus.

tomconoley · January 8, 2018, 5:37pm

So he’s leaving the NJ governor’s office and using the press to audition for a new job as a stand-up comedian … Sorry, Chris, but the only laughter and applause you’d get would be mockery.

A legend in his own mind

Cream does rise to the top… unless its in a pumpkin spice and bullshit latte.
