Waste our time? Seriously, Bruce? You're gonna engage in an ad hominem to undercut Christie? Hmmm. Lots of personal traits you can critique things one can say about all of them To say nothing of Biden, Newsome, and the gaggle of wannabes of the Democrat Party.
Christie showed his capacity for stupidity in that Jersey beach lounging photo. So also in hanging out and hugging Jerry Jones in the Cowboys stadium private box. The bridgegate thing was classic political power move and he got exposed.
But nothing is disqualifying if Donald Trump has ever been elected. Nothing. Oh, yeah, the pussy grabber in chief was elected in 2016 in a revolt of the masses against the corruption of the political class.
The only question that matters is whether a candidate is capable of leading. Clearly Trump is not, unless you want him to lead a breaking and entering parade at the US Capitol.
Many in the field lack the charisma to engage voters' interest (e.g., Pence is snooze time and his policies are straight out of Bible Belt America). When you shake the candidate trees on right and left, a lot of deadwood is gonna litter the yard. Who can lead? Better for Republicans to search for that person, no matter past stupidity.
Someone is going to be elected President. If Trump is the nominee, Biden walks in - maybe a landslide. House and Senate break for Dems.
Perhaps if you want a serious chance of ousting Biden and the Dem Senate you need to look past truly silly faux pax and find leadership. I suspect the Fat Man has more of that than the rest of the crowd. He certainly has balls.
"If Trump is the nominee, Biden walks in - maybe a landslide."
Lol. 2015 called and wants its punditry back.
I think you overestimate the number of xanax-addled NPR listeners. But perhaps the democrats can muster a 2024 summer race riot to get their base motivated...
Take two xanax and call your shrink in the morning, sweetie. Pussy is what makes the world go round. We all know that. I think you might have some "issues".
Christy is no better or worse than any of the other egocentric sociopaths, Dem or Rep running for President. However, I will vote for any Republican over any Democrat/Socialist, no matter how corrupt or loony he or she is.
The Republicans are just stupid. Democrats are evil.
We need a Rep president and congress to reverse the evil the Dems are forcing on us. We need someone to not discriminate against the alphabet gay community, just ignore them. Force our schools to stick to teaching the three Rs (that is figuratively). Ensure teachers leave their politics, ideas of social engineering, racial philosophies like CRT at the door and if they can't fire them. Have them teach that this country, warts and all is still the land of the free and the home of the brave. Democrats hate that concept and try to undermine it. It is as if they can't look around and see truly evil countries like Russia, China, Cuba, Islamic countries and North Korea and dozens more and then look at our country and think, thank God I was born here and not there.
We need to overhaul our political atmosphere and try and change the opposition party's hateful, destructive agenda like calling concerned parents terrorists. The way you do that is through aggressive, truthful advertising and change the minds of the voters to a more middle of the road thinking to destroy the radical left's vile, destructive philosophies.
The Republicans have the ammunition to do these things so why are they sitting on their hands? The radical left sure doesn't.
Make specific teaching unions illegal. I'm not against workers organising; I am against what has been glommed on by activists/collectivists/nihilists. Like the organisations representing the constabulary in the UK, such for teachers need specific rules to keep them non-partisan and non-ideological.
and you realize that there are large factions of the democratic party that would label you evil. I guess I'm the kid in the playground watching two irrational bullies fight and decide I really dont have to pick either side
The left labels anyone who disagrees with them as evil. The definition of a racist is anyone who wins an argument with a leftist. You can substitute xenophobe, homophobe, fascist for racist.
"The left" "them" "they". These broad brush stereotyping charecterizations dont help we Americans move the coversation forward. For sure it applies to some leftlies, I've for sure experienced it myself however I wouldn't use your language to describe all left leaners. To the credit of the article we get some research stats on your very ascertaion.
Good question. There does seem to be a deafening Republican silence. I actually left messages with our local organization offering to volunteer and they never returned my calls. Everything in the D.C. political seems to have a "cloaking device" that leaves "we the people" having to guess at what the reality actually is. And, then there is the DNC lie machine. Defeating the DNC will buy us time but until that happens?
I continue to believe the capitalism vs. communism diatribe is a trap. The DNC/Davos crowd is certainly past it. Their CCP based image of the 15 minute city/euthanasia on demand/ thought crime prosecution/ surveillance model has European's rioting in mass against the EU. (The destruction in France is mind boggling.) The world thinks swinging to the "right" will escape the inhuman sterility of the totalitarian "left" but, is international criminal finance not playing both ends against the middle?
The force destabilizing our Republic is the bad social/financial policy emanating from a Federal Government captured and controlled by rigged game financier's. Right now most of the psyop and assault on "we the people" and the Constitution is the battle over control of the electronic platform's that filter's the flow of idea's and the conversation that make's up our national dialogue. The financier's themselves, top heavy in wealth, don't invest in business and infrastructure. A look at the violence and decay in the heart's of our major cities pretty much confirm's that their action's destroy it. Big Tech ownership, probably out of the desire to survive, is making itself a complicit partner in the creation of a surveillance state. Shouldn't our real vision of the American future be the break-up of Big Tech and its reduction to a utility? Likewise, the heavy regulation and taxation of monopolistic monster's like Blackrock and Vangard who manipulate our supply chains and corrupt our elected political leadership. Our train wreck of the week, collapsing bridges and highways, shi't in the street downtown's say it's time for the money to flow the other way. This is neither capitalism or socialism. It's just the common sense solution that would allow America to begin a return to the "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness" it deserves.
The word "Capitalism" was a pejorative in origin and remains a pejorative. Corporatism and Socialism are the same thing; witness Ford and Fiat contributing to industrialisation in the Soviet Union and American "Capitalists" contributing to the Nazi indusrial economy. Take away the labels and just concentrate on describing Nazism, Fordism, Fascism, and Communism and you will find those descriptions converging. The same goes for our contemporary "isms". It is all the SAME nonsense on stilts.
If truth/fact based subscription journalism didn't have the tiny toe hold it does there would have been no Twitter Files. DNC behavior during the Taibbi/Shellenberger Congressional hearings made it clear that the lie felt the blow. I watched a German film on Hanna Arendt and her reporting on the Eichmann trials last evening. The abdication of individual moral responsibility by the German people led to their submission to the Reich and ultimately the destruction of Europe. The little fire we're trying to kindle here is important. America, and the world, has entered a new age. I already support more truth/fact based journalist's than I can keep up with. But, there are good people doing the work and they deserve the support. I'm trying to see with new eye's even though the story we're witnessing is as old as time. Besides, we all know, nobody get's out alive. Glad you're there. Keep on rockin'.
Anyone who has read the Trans Leviathan would agree with you that the "capitalism vs. communism diatribe is a trap" and that the "force destabilizing our Republic is the bad social/financial policy emanating from a Federal Government captured and controlled by rigged game financier's":
Also, euthanasia is big in Canada... which has no free speech - just like the state of MI which just passed a law criminalizing "misgendering". Who has name changes/new "identities" outside of cults? (And made up things like optional pronouns?). After the MI thing I especially appreciated Tucker Carlson's Episode 8:
This Biden / Trump WAR is destroying us & the divide is getting almost too wide to bridge!
That’s assuming they even want to bridge it.
I am beyond disgusted with the “Orange Man Bad” “Fu*k Joe Biden & Heels Up Harris” “Basket of Deplorable, MAGA Cult” blah, blah, blah “whataboutisms” rhetoric coming out of BOTH sides!
We desperately need a centrist, peace maker, but is there someone? Or is it too late bc the lines are drawn, and the War has spilled too much blood already?
It is NEVER too late for a peacemaker to appear, Honey. Somewhere there is someone who remembers that old bit of doggeral we used to sing long ago in my high school choir when we actually believed the words ., " Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me" Maybe that someone will remember them too and take them to heart.
Your "handle" reminds me of an old English proverb: You catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Flies represent your goals. Honey stands for agreeable things that you do to achieve your goals. You can win people to your side more easily by gentle persuation than by hostile confrontation.
Gentle persuasion is not much in favor these days. The frustration we all feel with a country seemingly going crazy seems to require hostile confronataion but that doesn't seem to be working too well. Time perhaps to try some honey.
Too short a CV and what there is is underwhelming and/or troublesome. Not a rocket I'd get onto. Maybe youse should stop running around in panic and terror glomming onto the most sub-optimal solutions in fear.
Oh I apologize. I didnt look at your name and thought you were the person who's been taunting me for asking if the Reps are ready for a minority woman. I wouldnt have been so reactive to your quick comment. Are you calling me or Hayley a RINO?
I respect your opinion, and she was an excellent messenger, I just think she lacks political creativity. I want to like her, and would vote for her over any Democrat, but believe there are better choices. Liking her as much as you do, you really should read her book.
Lastly, and this will sound sexist, but I think she'd make an fantastic VP running mate.
I cannot disagree with that estimation either. Imagine what she'd achieve compared to Kamala. I don-t think it's sexist because it's realistic. I think if she proved herself, she'd have a chance at the big job in later years. Perhaps she could shine some of her class on whoever she's VP to. This is really an idea I'd like to see gain some ground.
I love to see the breadcrumbs of society finally be able to string a few words into something reasonably coherent--well done Burner. It is too bad it is nothing but whataboutism and gaslighting. Not too late to get back on that train, man.
The only people who think Jerseyites are cool and make good candidates? Apparently Burners and other Jerseyites. Good luck!
The breadcrumbs of society?? really??? who do you think you are? Have you ever met any these people?… Why in the world would you call them the breadcrumbs of society? What makes you so different or more special from anyone else here?? your comment is incredibly ill mannered and rude
Go back to your desert 'city of fun', dude and smoke some more of whatever.
Christie is a paid member of the RNC, nothing more, and the RNC hates Trump because he actually did what republicans campaigned on - but did not do - since Ronaldus.
I need to ask what you've been smoking. Trump *owns* the RNC these days.
- Why has the RNC been paying Trump's legal bills?
- How else did Trump get the talented sycophant Ronna McDaniels installed as chair? (And how else did Trump get away with forcing McDaniels drop the "Romney" from her name?)
- Why else is the RNC insisting that all primary candidates must sign a pledge that they'll back the party candidate at Election Time -- or else they can't be in the debates. Such a pledge only helps Trump.
EVERY ONE knows Trump will sign that pledge, but NO ONE believes he'll abide by it himself. But it may keep some candidates out of the debates and it will certainly give Trump talking points against his primary foes.

Hmmm...I see that little bridge payback hit paydirt.
The world outside the Great Metropolis was delightfully amused at how much havoc a few traffic cones could cause.
You know, of course, that someone could have gotten out of their car and moved them.

Your use of the p word disgusts me. You’re done.

Backs 6 week abortion ban, toxic nationally.
RINO.
Nikki Haley is the answer to that one.
Too short a CV and what there is is underwhelming and/or troublesome. Not a rocket I'd get onto. Maybe youse should stop running around in panic and terror glomming onto the most sub-optimal solutions in fear.
Another RINO.
Apparently the name you use to post here isn't reflective of who you really are. Have a nice life.
Oh I apologize. I didnt look at your name and thought you were the person who's been taunting me for asking if the Reps are ready for a minority woman. I wouldnt have been so reactive to your quick comment. Are you calling me or Hayley a RINO?
Read her book. She doesn't have much to say, and when she does, she still doesn't have much to say.
Pretty much an empty suit.
You can't have been following much of her career to say that. If you'd watched her even a day in the UN you'd see what grit she's made of.
Sometimes less is more. Trump and Christie always have plenty to say. But dignity goes deeper.
I respect your opinion, and she was an excellent messenger, I just think she lacks political creativity. I want to like her, and would vote for her over any Democrat, but believe there are better choices. Liking her as much as you do, you really should read her book.
