In reply to the discussion: To all the New Jersey Democratic Mayors who supported Christie over Buono . . . [View all]JoePhilly
(27,787 posts)You can argue you all you want, but Christie was not going to lose that race. His response to Sandy was effective in the eyes of the people of NJ.
The Democratic candidate was NEVER going to give Christie a "run for his money". That is a FANTASY.
So now, your brilliant strategy is to attack a bunch of lowly Democratic mayors. These guys are little fish swimming in tiny ponds. And you think THEY should be the folks we go after. Nonsense.
That's exactly why I say your political strategy is impotent. You'd waste effort attacking those little fish who are irrelevant to the national political situation. The people of those towns have to look at each of their mayors and decide what they think about how they responded to the threat of Christie's retribution.
There is little reason for DU to get excited about those mayors specifically because they are tiny players in all of this. Its like blaming the store owner for paying the protection money. Its the wrong point of focus.
Christie is a national threat. NJ was already lost.
Chasing those mayors around is silly from a political stand point.
Christie and his national ambitions are where the fight needs to be. And if you don't get that. You are politically naive.
