Christie’s PROBLEM is that NO ONE BELIEVES HIM, and virtually all of us believe one thing: Either he had something to do with the lane closures, or he is such a PATHETIC, OUT OF TOUCH governor that he ignored the SCREAMING from the locals when the lanes were closed.
Either way, NO ONE wants him anywhere near the White House, and his polling numbers show that. He really should concentrate on lawyering-up so that he can stay out of jail.
If there is a traffic tie-up in my area (near Route 280, 21, NJTP, 3) I don’t expect the governor to be called in. While the lying media calls them “bridge closures”, in fact it was entrance ramps from Fort Lee to the bridge that were an issue (not the bridge itself). This is a completely fabricated charge against Christie, and not one thing has ever linked him personally to it.
I don’t think he’s presidential material, but he’s probably the cleanest politician east of the Mississippi River. He’s a white Christian guy, so he’ll never get anywhere in the “new normal”; I contrast that with the kid-glove treatment received by his recent predecessor who came out of the closet in response to a blackmail attempt. The wife in that case shouted from the rooftops that she had been used as a political prop by the queer, but it didn’t fit the narrative that was pushed by the leftist media so she was basically ignored/silenced.
NJ is in its current state because low-information voters react to tabloid sensationalism; the ignorant white trash at my job, when I point at that not one shred of evidence connects Christie to this, just drone on “I don’t know; maybe he knew something...” - and that is all the media Master of the Lie needed to do. Plant the seeds of doubt, and the white trash just goes along with the herd...
