S.E. Cupp: Chris Christie can resign and win the presidency

[Liberal_in_LA]

“He’ll say, ‘What do you want from me? I resigned. I did what’s best for New Jersey. I made a mistake, I took responsibility for it, and now I want to be your president,’” Cupp argued.



CNN host S.E. Cupp offered advice to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Wednesday in the wake of increasingly damning allegations related to the lane closures on the George Washington Bridge: quit now and live to run for president another day.

“I’ll tell you what will happen: his supporters, both in New Jersey and across the nation will come out,” Cupp argued to colleague Jake Tapper. “He will be a martyr and a hero, and over the next two years, he’ll quietly go about plotting a presidential campaign.”

Tapper pointed out that Christie was not apologetic following reports that members of his staff orchestrated the gridlock to punish Fort Lee, New Jersey Mayor Mark Sokolich for not joining other Democrats in endorsing Christie’s re-election bid. Instead, Christie said in a statement that he was “misled” by a staff member, and vowed, “People will be held responsible for their actions.”

1. Cupp is absolutely not ready for prime time.

Christie is done . . . period. He can quit, wait to be arrested or impeached. None of it matters because he is done. If they don't find another iota of evidence, which I believe they will, he's done. Who's trusting him after this crap?

[TwilightGardener]

2. Republicans don't have anyone else. All their eggs in one basket. That much is clear now--

really weird how they're trying to save him. Why don't they just move on to their next big thing?

[Ken Burch]

4. Well...because, as you just pointed they don't HAVE anyone else.

Only other possibility at this point is Jeb...and I think they can't handle that idea, for two reasons:

1)He's too Nixonian even for them(not necessarily on the ethical level...on the level of personality-he's got Original Milhous' emotional combo plate of unjustified resentment and inexplicable paranoid bitterness);

2)They can't get their head around the idea half-Anglo, half-Latino kids in the First Family. Can't have no "mixin'", y'know.

Finally, they can't ditch Christie because ditching Christie means admitting they were wrong to get behind him in the first place. 'Pugs don't DO that.

[TwilightGardener]

7. But they do have some mediocre Senators, and Huckleberry. Nobody wants any of them,

but that's their bench. I can't imagine a Bush/Clinton faceoff all over again--that would just be so, so wrong. The Bush brand is still badly damaged, and Poppy and Babs are too sick and old to pull strings for their pathetic spawn now.

3. Sippy Cup is BSing again

[Shandris]

5. We have laws drug-testing welfare recipients...

...can't we get a law passed to see just -what- in the hell she's smoking? It has to be illegal in 42 countries and the US.

6. Nit Wit diarrhea of the mouth.

[indie9197]

8. It seems to be an accepted perception on tv

that if you wear dorky glasses or a bowtie that you are more intelligent. I saw her "interview" with Glen Beck. She obviously wasnt on the debate team in high school.

[Gravitycollapse]

9. What a fucking moron.

[Cha]

10. You should see Colbert rip on Cupp in this clip.. First of all..

Cupp is freaking hilarious all by herself and she just hands Colbert the Platinum..

It's not about what a "hero" Christie but.. how this GWB Scandal is "Too Complicated for the rest of the Country". Colbert agrees.. No one can understand "Revenge and Traffic"..

12. What. Like Palin the Quitter?

[TlalocW]

13. He could get it - I mean, republicans love it when their candidate is an asshole

But to think it's going to be a walk in the park like these people seem to believe is stupid. Every other candidate running is going to throw his palling around with Obama at him as well as Christie making gay conversion therapy illegal as well as not fighting against gay marriage. IF he gets it, he'll squeak by.

14. Where Have We Heard That One Before?

“I’ll tell you what will happen: his supporters, both in New Jersey and across the nation will come out,” Cupp argued to colleague Jake Tapper. “He will be a martyr and a hero, and over the next two years, he’ll quietly go about plotting a presidential campaign.” Like Sarah Palin, do ya think? Maybe she could be on the ticket with him as the VP candidate.

[Drunken Irishman]

15. S.E. Cupp is a fucking moron.

[arthritisR_US]

18. She sure is. It's so nice not to see her on MSNBC

anymore, I got so tired of muting the station!

[A-Schwarzenegger]

16. He might win the presidency of the SE Cupp fan club.

[blkmusclmachine]

17. Corruption: A Republican Family Value

[BobUp]

20. Blech

[rurallib]

21. Methinks Christie will spend the next 2 years huddling with lawyers

trying to keep his ass out of the slammer.
Probably won't have much time to put together that presidential campaign.

Maybe Cupp can organize the campaign and run it for him while he's on trial?

[CanonRay]

22. They do live in a fantasy bubble, don't they

In their heads, Romney is still going to win.

[spanone]

23. you can tell she mis-spoke the other day and obviously heard from her employers

[WinkyDink]

24. OMG. This "Pres. Christie" talk needs to GET REAL. NOT A SNOWBALL'S CHANCE.

Against the brilliant AND KNOWLEDGEABLE woman who has been on our national and the international scenes for decades, Jersey Boy would be as a boardwalk during Hurricane Sandy.

[Wounded Bear]

25. Well, it worked well for Caribou Barbie...

Oh, wait....

[KarenS]

26. well,,,, I hope he listens to her,,,

I'm sure it's the best advice he's received so far

[MineralMan]

27. Sipp E. Cupp is delusional. nt

[Zen Democrat]

28. Except, Sippy, he didn't take responsibility. He's throwing his people under the bus.

Girl needs to get new glasses. She's not seeing clearly through the ones she's wearing.

[giftedgirl77]

29. Considering she works for Glenn Beck on the Blaze as

well I am no longer surprised by the utter stupidity the spews out of her mouth.

[mulsh]

30. Can anyone explain why her opinion matters? ANYONE? ANYONE?

N/T

[catbyte]

31. Yeah, right, Sippy Cupp. That's EXACTLY what would happen

Do they actually believe all the crap they spew?

[rocktivity]

32. ...with Sarah Palin as his running mate

since that tactic worked so well for her.
