(3,891 posts)Because it doesn't do a thing to tie Christie to the George Washington Bridge closing. Now, if we could just find the smoking gun on that, the crowd here would cheer and dance on the graves of the extinct species and mix the melted glaciers into a big bowl for the celebratory spiked fruit punch.
There is only one thing that Democrats can hope saves them, and that is the Republican Party being slightly more corrupt and abusive than they are. Some people call this a race to the bottom. That's not true, it's a race to one step up from the bottom and shouting that the ones below you are the really bad ones, because they're at the bottom.
I have to wonder, why do we even bother anymore? We have sunk to a level I would have laughed at as unimaginable a generation ago if someone had predicted it.
That's why the DEA negotiating with Cartel story doesn't matter. Christie isn't involved with the DEA. We must stop Christie, because he's liable to get the nomination if we don't, and he is/was more popular than Hillary, and that can't be allowed. That's why nobody cares about the NSA tweaking chips on computers doesn't matter, Christie isn't in the NSA. As far as Net Neutrality matters, it only matters as much as we can use it to blast Christie.
Want to see everyone come out against the TPP? Get Christie to say he's in favor of it. If you can get that soundbite, then you have something that everyone here would spend every waking minute trying to stop it. Otherwise, the majority just don't care.
Depressing isn't it?
