Christie could have been a bridge to reconciliation with Democrats. Of course, \*getting \*to that bridge would take a while, but _still_… ---

Kushner Sr. is a scumbag, but he’s not running for office. So not sure how that even begins to tarnish the Republicans under your premise. Also, Kushner Sr. was a donor to both Bill and Hillary. Also Rudy G. He was an equal opportunity scumbag. ---

At least Christie had his moment in the sun, grovelling at the president-to-be’s feet as **Our Great Man** seduced America \* and vowed vengeance on Christie for having first run against him. He’ll always have Persepolis. - And ride in triumph through _Persepolis_ ?

> [@bobot](#): > > I remember the good old days when Republicans used to pretend to believe that Bill Clinton was too immoral for office. Oh, they still believe that. And they also believe that It’s OK to have a Republican Candidate with children from three wives, cheated on 2 of them, and a current wife who has posed for lesbian porn photos. That’s not a problem. Also, the problem of increasing the debt has now been eliminated. Not the increasing debt, mind you, but the PROBLEM is gone, now that we will have a Republican in office. Massive debt, here we come! It’s OK now! ---

Huh, now that you mention it, Trump will be only the second president to have been divorced (and the first to have been divorced _twice_). Reagan was the first. What are the odds Trump gets divorced while in office? ---

There are many valid reasons to loathe Chris Christie, a man whose deliberate actions are corrupt, underhanded, self-serving and frequently petty. Using his size as an insult is lowbrow of the lowbrow-est and unnecessary. There are few things I dislike more than anyone who helps Donald Trump in any way, but that’s b/c of who they are and what they do rather than how they look. ---

> [@QuickSilver](#): > > Kushner Sr. is a scumbag, but he’s not running for office. So not sure how that even begins to tarnish the Republicans under your premise. The reason he’s part of this discussion is Jared’s wide-ranging revenge vendetta against Christie and anyone remotely connected to him. In that context, it’s worth pointing out that Kushner Sr. was locked up for having committed serious crimes, so Jared’s vendetta isn’t remotely justified, but rather a case of bad judgment taken to a considerable extreme. The moment he’s managed to ride his FIL’s coattails to a position of influence, he uses it to go after anyone connected to the man who got his father deservedly incarcerated. He’s one power-mad little dick, and he’s just getting started.
