In reply to the discussion: How Democrats Are Helping Chris Christie Become the Next George W. Bush [View all]Rowdyboy
(22,057 posts)Last night he refused to allow any of his guests to disagree that Christie was the savior of the Republican party, single-handedly able to bring on a resurgence of reasonable moderate Republicans nationwide. The media eat-up his in-your-face, smartass attitude and his "remarkable ability to connect with the average voter". The meme practically writes itself. Meanwhile, the party drifts ever rightward so that when he's elected in 2016 he'll do a "Full Dubya" and turn from a "compassionate conservative" to a frothing, raging Teabagger in the mold of Ted Cruz.
Then, with a Teabag house and a compliant senate he'll steamroll in fresh tax cuts for business and the wealthy and continue the savaging of the poor and middle classes. With a few supreme court appointments he can effectively determine the next 40 years and undo anything positive we've accomplished under Obama. It makes me sick to my stomach to contemplate but the whole sorry story is unfolding right before our eyes and no one appears to have a clue.
Think he can't get nominated? Just sit back and watch.
