Chris Christie was actually a little funny

On ABC This Week talking about Steve Bannon.

Paraphrased he said something like "He is a political strategist. He has to make his living some way. He isn't going to make it as a fashion model." He got a small chuckle or two from the panel.

Christie would almost never get away from this analogy but with Bannon it is actually a good shot.

1. People like Christie, Cheney, and DeSantis are why I think Trump won't be the Republican nominee

Christie and Cheney would savage Trump on a debate stage, and DeSantis is trying to take Trump's clientele.

They don't really care. As long as there is some name recognition, they will book. Because, of course, they want to represent "both sides".
