Former Gov. Chris Christie has apparently had enough of being quiet about his successor, Gov. Phil Murphy.
When Christie left office, the brash Republican known for grabbing the spotlight and speaking his mind vowed he wouldnt offer a running commentary on Democrat Murphys performance. He suggested he wanted to transition into an elder statesman.

I no longer listen to one word Chris Christie has to say.
Reminds me of a minor Hollywood actor always hungry for attention.
oh golly, He ripped into him? Say it aint so- that’ll teach him
Chris, you putz. The reason we have Murphy is because you spent more time “reaching cross the aisle” and campaigning for President than you did being governor of this state. Hey, I know, how about a trip to the beach when its closed due to a government shutdown. Better yet, why not cause some traffic on a bridge, that you know, always has it anyway.
The money quote from this article: We win when the Democrats screw up, thats the nature of a minority party, Christie declared.”
Oh, that’s the way to do it. Just wait until there is no better alternative than the RINO one. Whopeeeeeeee!!! In case Chris didn’t get it, that will be a long arse time. Why? Simple, Republican RINO governors that stand for nothing (Whitman, Christie) serve the purpose of being blamed for decades to come for every failing in the state. Murphy, in effect, has fat Chris armor to insulate him from his dumb decisions. In this deep blue drone state, the drones will eagerly accept any poop they are fed as to why “everything is the Republicans fault” even when there really aren’t any Republicans in any position of power to blame.
Bold ideas, phooey. Telling the voters of this state the truth, HA!!! Instead wait for a state that elects Spartacus and an indicted crook as their Senators to just finally say, “we have had enough.” Better yet, wait for voters who are incensed over “Bridgegate” but could give a crap about Murphy’s campaign trying to hide a charge of rape against one of his high officials.
Christie will be one of the GOP presidential contenders in 2024, by the way.
Christie, Cruz, Rubio, Rick Scott, Walker, Jindal, DeSantis, Haley, Pompeo, VP Pence, Kobach will all run in 2024
He should have resigned and let the Lt Gov run the government for a year. Would have at least gotten her name known in the state. Ah, who am I kidding — NJ is a lost cause.
NJ will be a great state to be FROM!
Christie was appointed to the Trump transition team before the 2016 election. As leader of staffing it was his job to have nominees for key positions identified and vetted so if Trump won he could hit the ground running with the 2000 positions the president appoints either filled or pending Senate approval. Christie apparently did not believe Trump had a chance of winning because on Election Day Trump didn’t have a cabinet or chief of staff identified and ready to go, much less the lower level positions. Shortly after the election, perhaps finally realizing Christie had done nothing, Trump dropped him and put Pence in charge of the transition. Pence promptly filled the Trump administration with RINO’s and deep state members.
Trump stated during the campaign, “Im going to surround myself only with the best and most serious people. We want top of the line professionals.
Apparently with Christie, Manafort, Priebus, Tillerson, Cohen, Scaramucci, Nielsen, Sessions, Haley, McMaster, Price, Bannon, McFarland, Pruitt, Omarosa, Flynn and many others he missed the mark.
Even two years into the administration there continue to be misfires. No replacement yet named for James Mattis who resigned as Secretary of Defense in December 2018. Nikki Haley resigned as Ambassador to the UN in early October 2018. Her replacement, Kelly Craft, wasn’t nominated until late February 2019, after his first choice dropped out. The process of replacing John Kelly, Trump’s second chief of staff, has also been less than elegant.
When I was a young manager in a big corporation, I remember a senior executive saying, “A students hire A’s, B students hire C’s, and C students hire F’s.” The organization performs accordingly.
Chris, please shut up...with ‘Republicans’ like you, who needs Dems...
I will vote for Sarah Palin.
Ron DeSantis in 2024...if he wants it...front runner for me, Ron DeSantis and Mike Pence...
