Papantonio: Chris Christie – The Face of the Republican Train Wreck
Do you remember the last presidential primaries when the only viable candidate that Republicans had was Jon Huntsman? The Democrats were able to cheer virtually every week, after every debate, and after every press conference that GOP candidates participated in because, except for Huntsman, the image of an unstable oddball GOP field of candidates always made its way to the surface. Expect to see that again.
It has already begun in the frenzy that has developed over Chris Christie's victory in New Jersey. Yesterday, all the right wing talk pundits were operating at DEFCON 12 levels of crazy talk about Chris Christie, the sellout.
I personally love these moments. The early beginnings of another teabag Republican train wreck, and all of us get to watch it on a slow motion screen.
It's my hope that the Democratic candidate (besides Hillary Clinton) will rise up and take advantage of the goofy events that will continue to develop within the GOP as the presidential primaries approach.
