5. This is all very Nixonian.

The Watergate Complex was burglarized because of Nixon's desire to get a leg up the Democratic Party. The funny thing was, Nixon didn't need a leg up; he was already popular and stood to win re-election handily. Christie was in a similar position politically. He didn't need Sokolich's endorsement in the Governor's race, yet he still had to punish Sokolich for not endorsing him.

Someone who is petty and thin-skinned shouldn't get into politics. They have more to lose from getting retribution than they do from taking their lumps and letting it go.
