Mind your keyboard doesn't short out from your drooling over Christie. Don't let the unfettered scumbaggery of the gop make the bar so low that when one tells the truth they are canonized. There are so many people deserving of public praise. Christie isn't among them. What would be impressive would be if he fed needy children, defended the wrongfully accused, or even left the Republican party. This little 180 he's doing on Trump though, is worthless. Trump is already baked in. You either love him or you're maga trash. There may be a handful of lack-a-brains who are still on the fence Trumpwise, but if they haven't been convinced one way or the other by this point, Christie's hot-airing of grievances against Trump won't do anything to move them. As some headlines have pointed out, Christie was Trump before Trump. He's a loud-mouthed bully with a better vocabulary. His arrogance is reminiscent of everyone who is fully aware of their white privilege while denying that there's any such thing as white privilege.

But other than that, Chris Christie's awesome!
