The Media Complex has a two-fer. They continue to work the destruction of the Republican Brand every chance they get. They knock Christy-Kreme down a notch. After this blows over in a couple weeks the media activists will present puff stories for their darling Hillary who is in waiting for her coronation crown in 2017.
The real question is whether I care about Christy or not. I’d pretty much rejected him as a conservative with his pro-gay and anti-gun policies. That was way back at the beginning of the last primary season when his name was floated a couple of times. Christy is an establishment, east coast, liberal republican.
Christy is quasi pro-life; I think he subscribes to the standard “rape, incest, life of mother (rilom)” exceptions. (I might understand “violent rape” and “immediate danger threatening the death of the mother”, but in rilom pro-life, rape is a squishy term, 30 year old cousins getting incestuously pregnant doesn’t strike me as a crisis, and “life” of mother is way too squishy.) I personally don’t believe in any abortion, but believe instead in adoption. (I have no problem with honest treatment to save the life of mother or child that might result in serious danger to either, for example, cancer treatment or surgery after a car wreck.)
So, there is little redeeming about Christy. He has admitted his staff did some retribution that blew up on them, and he has apologized for that happening under his watch. I’m ok with that.
If, however, this ends his hopes of the presidency, I’ll shed no tears. I would have opposed him anyway.

No problem, mediots. Now give Hillary the same scrutiny.
Vetting Obama would have been a racist act, everyone knows that!
That is what I've been thinking since the story broke.
Where the hell was obama’s “vetting process”. Answer me that!
