Disinformation or not, I'm also fed up with the disloyalty shown by Chris Christie. He's really not that much different than the Clintons. He's only looking out for number one and does not seem to care about tossing underlings under the bus when it serves him. The right thing to have done in Bridge-gate was to accept responsibility and let the chips fall where they may. That's what a leader does. The fact that he would allow his staffers to get convicted and go to jail on his behalf makes him no different than Richard Nixon in the Watergate coverup or Bill Clinton in the Whitewater coverup.

When it appeared that Romney was going to lose in 2012, Chris Christie wasted no time in fully embracing (literally) Barack Obama. That pre-election image of Christie hugging Obama and practically holding hands with him on that beach like a little giddy schoolgirl was a kick in the stomach to Mitt Romney and will forever be burned in my brain.

Then don't forget about how Christie went wobbly on Trump in the wake of the Billy Bush tape brouhaha. Had Trump not held strong, there is no doubt that Christie would have rushed into the embrace of Crooked Hillary Clinton.

I'm also disappointed with the New Jersey results in Tuesday's election. A 13-point loss for Trump? Chris Christie does not seem to have lifted a finger to help Trump's prospects in his own state. Did Christie campaign at all for Trump in NJ? So on top of everything else, Christie has shown that he can't deliver.

Just an opportunist who is only looking out for himself. If Trump tosses him overboard, it would not bother me in the least.

Trump dodged a real bullet when he chose not to consider Christie as his running mate. Mike Pence has turned out to be perhaps Trump's best decision of the entire campaign.

Well, we saw Trump shake hands with Obama a couple days ago. That's what happens in politics...like it or not.

It also happens at holidays in many families.

Get over it.

True, but Bridgegate doesn’t come near the level of a Benghazi or the Uranium One sell out. Our media blows the perspective and makes Christie, because he is Republican, to appear worse than he is. It was a stupid stunt but not damn treason, and nothing to immolate his career over. If they could have proved Christie was involved he would have been wearing stripes, but they couldn’t.

Christie was up front with his endorsement of Trump, when no one but Sessions said yes. It was a big help for Trump at that time and it was remembered. Even while Bridgegate was going on.
