37. He called Senate Democrats 'Animals'. Hopefully all those who endorsed him have finally learned

Thu Jan 9, 2014, 11:06 PM

Jan 2014

the lesson we have desperately tried to warn them about, 'you cannot trust a Right Winger like Cristie whose RECORD on issues SHOULD have been enough to stop any Democrat, let alone over fifty of them, from even THINKING of endorsing them.

He manipulated them to an embarrasssing degree and watching it as it happened was cringe inducing to democrats who tried to stop the love fest of Cristie and were told to stfu.

Bi-partisanship! Compromise! I hope this ends any fantasy that some democrats appeared to have that they could EVER trust a right winger like Cristie. He used them, all those Dems who rushed to endorse him, and then, as anyone with a brain cell functioning knew he would, he stabbed in the back. It is painful to watch OUR party continuing to 'trust' these people. Seriously painful.
