Former New Jersey Republican Gov. Chris Christie on Wednesday said he is "going to think about" making a third run at the party's presidential nomination following the GOP's dismal midterms performance.

Laughs or not...

POTUS 2028 will definitely be lost to the Dems if Christie is the candidate.

Christie is like that enormous turd you drop in the toilet, and no matter how many times you flush, it just won’t go away.

Sounds good to me.

Let Chris Christie be the designated loser in 2028 (no way in hell we're winning that cycle). We can groom DeSantis for 2032.
