Really, the level of desperation this guy apparently feels needs a thread on his own. Chris Christie long slog of self-immolation and groveling merely to be a losing VP candidate is becoming a meme of its own and should be celebrated in its own right.
Yesterday was a perfect example - he’s got that deer in the headlights, “I’m really trying to think about anything other than what’s happening in front of me” look that he has perfected over the past months… unfortunately, his wife might need a little more educating..
This one foreshadows the end game. Would you want somebody looking at the back of your head like that? It’s like Christie is about to triangulate his shot or something. “If the bullet goes in right… there… game over!”
Post your favorite Christie moments and make your predictions here: How long will the Donald make him grovel? Is Trump going to use Christie to bust some heads at the RNC? How will their combined mafia connections help guide the country in case of a win? Is Christie just doing this to have the Donald pay off his campaign debts? “$8 million? Small potatoes!”
I feel Christie actually wants to be Attorney General. He’s had similar experience, tasted the life, and now he wants to move up. And if he has to suck a little hind tit to get such a plum job, he’s willing to do it. The guy’s a louse, so it’s schadenfreude to see him groveling. He’s certainly done a lot worse to many people. Comeuppance, and karma, be bitches. :rolleyes:
If this election were a normal one, I would say that having Christie by your side dilutes your message of HRC being systemically corrupt, rendering Christie ineligible for any major role because of his negatives that apply specifically to your message.
OTOH, since this is Trump we’re talking about, there is no reason why being inconsistent between words and deed will be a problem.
Trump seems to figure he’s going to win this election all by himself so he only needs a running mate because it’s a legal requirement. Christie’s willing to grovel for the job and he’ll do as well as anyone else.
Christie’s probably figuring that, win or lose, running as a Vice Presidential candidate gives you stature in a future presidential run. Or he’s looking at the LBJ odds.
Eh, Trump’s already tried (and failed) to tack into being a more conventional candidate twice during the primaires. I think he’s serious about trying to find someone with governing experience as a VP pick to try and give his ticket some sort of plausibility. And it doesn’t seem super-likely that someone more prominent than Christie is going to agree to sign-on (I guess Janet Brewer would be the other obvious choice).
Let me see if I have this straight: Trump, not exactly the reincarnation of St. Ronnie that most of the GOP have been sacrificing virgins to get, picks the guy whom most of the Republicans publicly disavowed for Committing The Unpardonable Sin of accepting federal aid from President Obama after Hurricane Sandy, in order to unify the Republican Party behind him.
That’s just to keep him busy while Trump names his real VP candidate…a man with previous campaign experience, and a way to lock down his core: David Dukes!
