Trump is conservative enough; he needs a moderate like Christie for balance.
Chris Christie’s best position is as Attorney General, but only after every US Attorney now on staff with the DOJ has been fired.
Bill Clinton sort of set the precedent back in 1993, when 93 US Attorneys were dismissed. The media were totally unimpressed with such a move, until George W. Bush also attempted to fire most of the US Attorney staff in 2006, then they saw that as a reason to get all huffed and puffed up about the “blatant” disregard for “rule of law”.
There are hundreds, if not thousands of practicing attorneys out there that have a REAL respect for Constitutional law, and not just looking for loopholes, as many of the current crop does. Surely in this pool, there are sufficient number to repopulate the Department of Justice with those whose purpose is to UPHOLD the law, not to torture it into some grotesque parody of itself, lacking in all spirit of which the law was originally constructed.
Then, following that, start in on the ranks of Federal judges and Supreme Court justices, making the appointments not for life, as is now the case, but limiting EVERY ONE of them to a term of no more than ten years, at which time they may be re-appointed, or step down.
Nobody needs the New Jersey scumbag, and anything on the other side of Governor Lard Ass’s scale will be tipped over.
Why waste Christie in a nothing job like Veep? Better to put Chrisite into something like AG instead. I was pulling for Newt because Trump needs someone with experience in legislating to get his changes through. You know Paul Ryan isn't going to be helping him.
“Trump is conservative enough; he needs a moderate like Christie for balance.”
Riiight. Remember how that worked for Reagan.
The Moderates have done everything the can to destroy the Reagan legacy.
“Trump is conservative enough; he needs a moderate like Christie for balance.”
No he doesn’t. Trump is not very conservative at all, for anyone who’s actually paying attention. Certainly not on social issues.
Christie is a loudmouthed boor with zero appeal. Trump can, and should, do far better. Ernst is actually a great idea IMO.
