But the beach?

Your hatred of Christie is over that? That’s a lot of animosity over a pile of sand..

There appears to be a lot of BDS on this site as well. So let’s call it a draw..

Think about it for a second. Enjoying a vast expanse of sand and sea that you deny your subjects. That's the mindset of a Mideast Potentate or Nicolae Ceascescu or Kim Jong Un. Not an elected public "servant." 100% disqualifying.

Who we are is oft expressed in one act. But, with Christie, it wasn't just one act. Yet that one stunningly tone deaf and imperious gesture alone spoke volumes about his unfitness.

When I refer to your three examples I see the state murdering its citizens for imagined crimes. Not a day denied on a beach. No matter. Christie was probably tone deaf there, but hey, so was Trump when he boasted how he could do whatever he wanted with women because of his celebrity. But since be lowered taxes, that’s forgiven. Christie is owed the same, imo.

I didn't see Trump's comment so much as a boast (but who knows with him) as a comment on the type of women who prostrate themselves before rock stars, athletes and other celebrities. Or vote for people such as Gavin Newsome based solely on his looks.

It might have been a comment on how ‘women prostate themselves’ if it had been said generally (and of course, carefully - in today’s climate). But he injected himself in it and you knew it was only about him. As it always is..
