All he has to say is “What difference does it make” and the whole scandal will go away.
I hope not!
I rather hope they throw Christie under the bus - where he belongs.
But I bet the GOP-E wastes massive resources trying to rescue him.
The whole thing with Christie and Obama had a stench to it. Christie did very forceful symbolic things to help Obama. Was Obama going to make it easier for Christie in four years? (a promise Obama would break, for sure)
Why Christie can't get past this one:
1. He's not the "in control" guy he pretended to be. He says he asked his staff to come forward and they bare-assed lied to him.
2. Assuming Christie accepted what they said is true, Christie's response was all wrong. A real leader would've said "let's figure out why those lanes are closed, and get them opened....FAST.
Because (2) didn't happpen, I can only assume (1) is not truthful
CRUZ/RAND PAUL for 2016! No more compromising with the crazed anti-US globalists!
From a politics standpoint, the time between now and when he’d announce his candidacy for President is an eternity. A million things could happen which could influence his run (one way or the other).
The GOPe will make sure this does not derail his “front runner” status. They want him, they’ll make it happen.
I think Crispy is trying to use the Obama excuse. “ I learned about it on TV just like the rest of the nation”
Circling the chuck wagons.
Related thought- the buzz is that this incident was renamed by someone as “Bridgeghazi” and that people went apoplectic because they thought it demeaned those murdered in Benghazi. I was wondering if it really does demean those who were murdered, or if it keep the Benghazi lies and scandal at the forefront, as it should be. In other words, the left has been using “gate” as a suffix since the l970’s to describe every scandal that’s come down the pike. What would happen if we use “ghazi” as a suffix to illustrate the message that we aren’t going to let it go.. just as the left hasn’t let Watergate go for 42 years (and is using “gate” to perpetually commemorate the resignation of a republican).
