38. Christie Himself Has Been Plotting....

his comeback. He is a very patient person, despite what his public persona might indicate. He can float along on Ken Langone's money and having the taxpayers of NJ fund his travels & security for at least another month. Meanwhile, the clown car will empty out. Christie's betting that he will be the last clown driving-and that's not an entirely unreasonable expectation. Do not dismiss him easily. He is dangerous. He's counting on being the alternative to Trump when the music stops and the carnival leaves town. All I can say is Danger Will Robinson! He's survived this laundry list of transgressions (Christie Crime Digest) so far- he's not going to go away quietly or easily.
