He’s Baaack! Chris Christie Wants to Run for President in 2028
Independent Sentinel ^ | August 08, 2026 | M Dowling

Posted on 08/08/2026 7:02:55 PM PDT by Red Badger

Here is the news you’ve all been waiting for: former New Jersey governor Chris Christie, a man with a checkered past, is once again considering running for president in 2028. He ran in 2016 and is still holding grievances against Donald Trump for winning.

Christie is continually on left-wing news shows complaining about President Trump. He claims he’s a conservative while acting like a RINO; his goal would be to move people away from America First and back into the party of RINOism. He hasn’t officially announced, but he addressed the idea recently. His supporters say his experience gives him an advantage; he was a governor from 2010 to 2018. However, he was very unpopular when he left, mostly over Bridgegate and Beachgate.

When Mitt Romney was running for president, he wouldn’t meet with him, and instead met with Obama, hugging him for the photogs. Christie was running as a Republican, but this is what RINOs do. Romney was a RINO too, and the herd has thinned out since then. However, RINOs hope to bring them back.

Christie was a US attorney in New Jersey and built up a reputation for prosecuting corruption cases. That seems to be where his skills ended. He plans to run on issues such as fiscal responsibility, public safety, and Government Accountability, and he will continue to criticize Trump. He also thinks he can capitalize on his experience, alleged competence, and a return to traditional republican leadership, aka RINOism.

He will call himself a conservative, but he truly is not, and his opposition to Trump could work against him. We have years to go, and hopefully he’ll fade into the woodwork by then. In the meantime, he’s going to try to build support among Republicans. We don’t see it happening since there are more appealing RINOs than him, who aren’t appealing anyway.

In his last effort to become President, Christie barely tripped the odometer, winning 2% of the vote.

Can you imagine if Chris Christie And J.B. Pritzker both won their party's nomination and had a debate?

I would have to have two TVs..................

Chris Christy is a lot less touchy about his weight than governor Pork-Chop.

Christie thought he would be AG. He auditioned for the job with his 2016 convention speech. He turned on Trump when Sessions was chosen. You could see it in his face at the press conference. That choice affected Trump’s first term bigly.

oh how wonderful?!

just what we needed

trying to sell CC to the electorate (assuming we were crazy enough to want to) would be like trying to sell refrigerators (which CC obviously knows a lot about) to the Eskimos

After stacking Trump’s transition team with W deep staters, Trump had enough of Christie. Sessions fooled everybody. That scumbag should rot in hell.

His past isn’t checkered. It’s clearly RINO. He’s also a walking caricature of everything wrong with NY and NJ: arrogant, bloated, and smelling like landfill.

“...away from America First and back into the party of RINOism.”

The GOP/GOPe is still the party of RINOism especially in the Senate. Hey POS Thune, have a nice 5 weeks off.

His 15 minutes of fame ended in the 1990s. He’s Milli Vanilli but 120 lbs heavier... than the two of them.
