Or Bernie Sanders, whose path to victory seems virtually impossible right now.
But I think the biggest loser was this poor sap who had to stand behind Donald Trump for over thirty minutes while he droned on and on about how awesome he was and what a great victory he was enjoying.
I watched the entire speech last night with my daughter, and I kept jumping back and forth between irritation at Trump's arrogance, dismay that he was still leading among the Republican candidates, and laughing out loud at Christie's predicament.
But hey at least Trump allowed Christie to stay on stage with him this time.
Though judging from Christie's face I don't think he saw that as a perk.
Off topic. Did you see Nancy French Twitter. She wrote an article on why NOT to vote Trump
ReplyDeleteIt must be weird to not support Trump and yet have to write articles for $arah about how great he is.
Say what??? Brancy isn't voting for Boopsie's choice? It's all for money?
DeleteWell, blow me down. -- Popeye
Factor in too, that within 24 hours of this bizarre scene, six New Jersey newspapers banned together calling on Christie to resign. I'm not sure how many Christie kids are old enough to live on their own, but I wouldn't want to reside with Dad in the same house this week.
ReplyDeleteEven one of his inner circle in Jersey said he should resign. There's a gif of the looks on his face that's priceless. They're both cut from the same cloth, so if this keeps up, one of them will wake up with a horse's head in his bed.

DeleteQ
From time to time?!?
DeleteChristie , it's not your time? Give it up !
ReplyDeleteGo into movies. You could maybe be a made guy?
You never know, you fit the mold. Goodfellas.eh?
You overweigth POS! You are no gumba. Fugetaboutit! Karma will get you.I got money on it.
I smell a YUUUUUGE deal. A quid pro quo.
DeleteI think Christie dropped out, endorsed Drumpf and is behaving like a lapdog because in return he is going to be Donald's running mate. I think the deal has already been struck. I can't think of any other reason Christie would behave as he has.
Christie is desperate for a presidential pardon is the way I see it. Fat chance now unless Trump wins.
DeleteMost people who introduce the main attraction defer to them by leaving the stage when the speaker takes the podium. I really don't think Trump planned for Christie to stand behind him while he gave his speech.
Here's to hoping the Christie and the Palin families engage in a drunken brawl at some point during this campaign.
Trump probably promised him attorney general, he was a prosecutor before becomeing Governor Chrispie Creme. New Jersey's people and newspapers are calling for him to resign as Govenor.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe even that Supreme Court seat McConnell is saving for him.
DeleteBut I think Drumpf promised him V.P.
And yet Sarah Palin would have traded places with Chris Christie in a heartbeat.
ReplyDeleteChristie done screwed the pooch! So, why hasn't the Donald had Sarah out on the stump 'introducin' speechin' and throwing those crazy, indescribable word-salad zingers out to the lamestream media .... Blah blah blah?
ReplyDeletePlus, Donald flies Christie around on his private jet. Not Sara Palin anymore.
DeleteAs a Bernie supporter, I'm sad. But I'm happy that he made it this far and was able to spread his message. Seems that he's going to keep going for awhile longer, which I think is great. More people will hear what he has to say.
ReplyDeleteI will be voting for Clinton if she is our nominee. I really hopes she picks Bernie as her VP. I think that would bring his supporters to her. And he could use his office work with Clinton and have a more progressive influence in the White House.
She's going to go with Julian Castro of Texas, an up and comer which will give the left 24 straight years of Presidency when is serves his two terms.
DeleteYou have a higher opinion of Hillary Clinton than I do. She won't pick Bernie Sanders (or anyone remotely like him) to be her running mate. She's too far up Wall Street's ass. She'll pick someone who won't pose even a perceived threat to her moneyed corporate masters.
Delete5:16 I hope she does pick Castro. He is a likable, smart guy and he has a twin, Joaquin.
DeleteWhy would a 69 year old white presidential candidate pick a 75 year old white running mate?
DeleteIf Bernie Sanders agreed to be Clinton's running mate, his supporters would cal him a sellout and a coward and vote for Trump.
Delete@ 5:20 I would like some proof of "She's too far up Wall Street's ass."
Deleteplease provide the links to articles, to prove your statement.
The hell they would, 6:23. The only people who would call Bernie Sanders (who has fought for equality his entire life, including being arrested for protesting segregation around the same time Hillary Clinton was shaking her pompoms for Barry Goldwater) a sellout would be Hillary Clinton fans who can't defend her warmongering, Wall Street-protecting record.
DeleteThis staunch Bernie supporter will indeed vote for Hillary, if (when) she is the nominee. I have to do what is best for our country. I still cling to hope, though.
DeleteTake your pick 6:34 of these few links that are the tip of the iceberg. If you really want to know the facts about Hillary Clinton and her devotion to protecting the bottom line of the haves at the expense of the have-nots, the evidence is plentiful and readily available, and there is nothing stopping you from seeking it yourself. You should know what you might be voting for.

DeleteWhat 5:20 said^^
DeleteHillary lovers see a completely different person somehow than the beast that stands before them.
That you would refer to her as "beast" tells me all I need to know about your opinion, 8:45. No Democrat is that much of a woman-hater, right?
Delete7:48 - two-thirds of your links are from 2013/14, proving how long the right wing talking points have been around. Did you know that Bernie's campaign is connected to a SuperPAC?
DeleteI like Castro but I would love to see John Lewis. I have always loved that man and he would do alot for the minorities in this country. He is a fighter and stands his ground.
DeleteCastro has no experience, is from Texas and the only name recognition is Fidel.
DeleteNO CASTRO.

Learn some facts.
That isn't presidential experience. If he's not qualified to run for president, he's not qualified for VP. I can say the same for the rest of her picks. They aren't chosen because they are qualified for the office. Only to attract a demographic of voters.
DeleteShe would do better with at least a senator or a governor.
I'm kinda thinking he's thinking "Good effing Christ! I went through lap-band surgery to drop the flab so I could look presidential, and I'm standing behind this POS? "
ReplyDeleteLOL, he probably slunk back to his hotel room and ordered one of everything from room service.
DeleteHe should ask for a refund, since it appears the lap-band is not working.
DeleteThe most disturbing part was drumf's son telling Christie to move away from drumf! How humiliating that must have been :)
Delete6:33, He should ask Trump for his soul back.
DeleteHow about when Trump told him to get on the plane and go home!!!
DeleteHey Immoral Minority don't make fun of our next Attorney General of the United States of America
ReplyDeleteI would never ever make fun of William Jefferson Clinton.
DeleteCheating Bill Clinton perjured himself and had his law license suspended. That cheating liar who pals around with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein (and who attended Donald Trump's last wedding as an honored guest) has no business being the next AG.
DeleteWhy would Bill Clinton ever want to be AG?
DeleteCan we assume that you are voting for that paragon of virtue, Donald Trump, 6:40?
DeleteIf he can't have Sanders, he will settle for the king of the vulgar 1% and the great white hope of the rasist dregs of society.
DeleteIf he can't have Sanders, he will settle for the king of the vulgar 1% and the great white hope of the rasist dregs of society.
DeleteIs that you, January?
DeleteWhy on earth would you assume that, 7:01, simply because I pointed out two of the creeps Bill Clinton associates with? If I have no use for Bill Clinton, and I don't, I have no use for Donald Trump either. They are two repellent abusers of a kind. The fact that they are of two different political parties is irrelevant. Just because I'm a Democrat doesn't mean I am willing to look the other way when Democrats betray the people who voted for them. I think Bill Clinton is a terrible Democrat who besmirched the office of the presidency and in so doing screwed over congressional Democrats trying to get elected or hold onto their seats. I am not going to make excuses for that. I expect better.
Delete6:40
7:55, which of our presidents do you think had true moral integrity? The only one I can think of is Carter and very few consider him a strong leader. Although I can't condone or defend Clinton's conduct, I have greater issue with leaders who irresponsibly send our youth into pointless conflicts. I find that a much more offensive lacking of morality than a man with the sexual discretion of a barn cat. Being a military parent, I would take another Clinton administration over a Reagan, Bush, Nixon or LBJ.
DeleteSending our youth to die on foreign soil or to return broken mentally and/or physically, to pad the pockets of the wealthy, seems much more seedy than the whorish behavior of Clinton.
Sorry.
DeleteI think it's either VP or Supreme Court Justice.
I agree that Hillary Clinton will select Julian Castro as VP. He has great qualifications, he's from Texas, he's young, and he's Hispanic.
ReplyDeleteHe definitely is a good man.
DeleteShe will be making a huge mistake.
DeleteChristie and Trump are both bullies, they are made for each other and will go down together.
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe the media gave Trump more air time by broadcasting his whole speech.
Then they claimed he was so presidential.
Hardly, he threatened the Speaker of the House and called Hillary a criminal more than once, but those parts of the speech, they edited out in all the clips of his "presidential speech".
Did anyone watch Trump and his sons standing at the entry area before coming to the podium? It appeared to me they were talking about Christie while he was actually delivering his introduction of Trump.
ReplyDeleteThen it appeared the one son (standing on the other side of Trump) told Christie where to stand!
I couldn't stop myself from watching Christie throughout while listening all the while to Trump do his usual stuff!
Christie appeared to me to be uncomfortable and ill at ease w/the Trump group. He literally didn't fit and I almost felt sorry for him. Trump then supposedly told him to leave....total put down and the signal to Christie that he was 'beneath' them! Must have been a horrible experience.
He has made some very bad moves and is going to pay for them as to his political career is my guess. New Jersey is now calling for his resignation.
Trump's sons are really repulsive, Cruz-level creepy. Even when I kind of was entertained by The Apprentice, the sight of those smirky, weasel-faced boys in the background gave me the willies.
DeleteAgreed! And Ivanka, although not creepy, gave off an icy bitch vibe. I have no idea as to how they really are, but I sure would pass on the opportunity to find out.
DeleteBoom ba ba boom ba ba boom boom boom. HEEERRRES CHRISTIES!
ReplyDeleteWonder what would happen if Christie came out tomorrow and said he'd made a terrible mistake?
ReplyDeleteChristie looks like he belongs on "The Biggest Loser".

So glad he's dead.
DeleteThis is how it will play out....if you watched Rachel tonight you will see it too. I knew (along with a lot of us) that Trump most def does not want to win, actually being President would be too boring and actual work. So...according to Rachel, the real power brokers of the RNC will do the super delegate thing as they have done in the past and just get rid of Trump. Which means...Trump will do what he has threatened and be a 3rd party candidate which will absolutely kill the Republican party, hopefully for good. They will push Rubio I think as they all really hate Cruz and he will lose with the most monumental loss in our history. Then Trump thinks he will save face with his bullshit the party caused him to lose cause it is all about saving face. Trump has no other way our of this..he has to blame someone. My real hope is that they get rid of as many assholes in the Senate & Congress along with Trump. I lived in NJ most of my life & talking to my buddies still there...omg all they want is Christie OUT. He really thinks Trump will win and put him in some power spot but I think he really knows he is done in politics. Guess his wife will just have to find another criminal to fund her Wall Street bosses with their pension money.
ReplyDeleteI agree if they broker the convention and oust Drumpf he will run a third party campaign. Maybe even with Christie as his running mate. (Although the guy should know better if he's finished as governor he really has nothing to lose).
DeleteDoesn't matter who the RNC puts on the ticket.
Even Bernie Sanders could win against a split Republican party.
And they did it to themselves. Sarah Palin and the Teabaggers will have destroyed the Republican Party. Just like parasites and infections.
Hubby just brought up a nightmare scenario: tRump gets elected, with the OK from the GOP, but he has to choose, say, RMoney for VP. Since tRump has so many skeletons in his closets, three months down the road, the GOP actually impeaches him (or he has a heart attack or whatever), and rMoney becomes President. Then he gets to choose the next few SCOTUS (and that is the reason why hubby thinks that they are refusing to let President Obama nominate a SCOTUS - because they are pretty sure about the other scenario...).
ReplyDeleteAny thoughts or comments to this?
.

Still better than Cruz. :)
DeleteAre they planning on fixing the voting machines?
DeleteThat is the only way they are going to win even with Mittens as VP.
I don't think the would GOP would impeach Trump, they didn't impeach Nixon. All they care about is winning, who wins doesn't matter.
If they wanted to "kill" him, why not before the nomination, problem solved.
The answer would be yes.
DeleteThey've done it to the Diebold machines before.
The only way to defeat the fix is for the democratic candidate to win by more than 10%.
Obama did it.
But can Hillary or Bernie?
