I have so many posts on this that I’m not going to repeat them. But here’s the bottom line: Christie is a professional politician, and he did what he did in the full national spotlight in the last 100 hour news cycle before the election. Whatever the motivation, it was deliberately done to help 0bama and defeat Romney. We can speculate all day about reasons, but NO ONE should have any illusions about the intent — because Christie most assuredly knew full well what he was doing.
“..it was deliberately done to help 0bama and defeat Romney...”
It sure does seem that way. But the motivation - self-preservation, or was he just pissed at being passed over (again, after repeatedly saying he didn’t want it...)
“...At this point, it makes all the sense in the world for Christie to bend over backwards to be nice to Obama, who is the President...”
We knew he was a RINO - yeah, he talked tough to the union folks that are bankrupting the state, but that ultimately means nothing. They’ll still be there long after he’s done and gone.
And it was premeditated self-aggrandizement, it backfired, because he is pretty much despicable right now.
“...Christie will pull a Specter sometime between now and his primary,..”
I’m of that mindset as well - “I didn’t get my way, so I’m taking my ball and going home”. Specter was a pure, grade-A, POS.
