From the depths of one of the ReTHUG cesspools -Politico

http://www.salon.com/2014/03/26/chris_christie_update_guvs_losing_the_politico_primary/
<snip>
Politico’s new piece on the shadow presidential primary happening right now within the GOP is framed around a truth long understood outside the Beltway but only just now starting to really sink in among the media’s political elite: He’s no longer the party’s 2016 front-runner. The report finds that insiders within the party and potential candidates now consider the race wide-open and believe Bridgegate has permanently — maybe even fatally — wounded Christie as a political figure.
In that same vein, Philip Bumb of the Wire makes a persuasive argument that, in the court of public opinion, Christie will never truly be cleared of any Bridgegate wrongdoing. No matter how many investigations are released without proof that the governor knew about the engineered Fort Lee traffic snarl, there will be plenty of people — especially Democrats — who will find more questions to ask and more reasons to raise suspicion. Don’t believe him? Google the following words: “Barack,” “Obama,” “Benghazi.”
Proving Bump’s point, the Star-Ledger has a report on how the upcoming Christie-controlled internal inquiry, which reportedly finds the governor innocent, is playing among politicians and political insiders in the Garden State. The short answer: They think it’s a patently compromised joke and are lending it very little credence, if any at all.

1. Unfortunately, many of us also predicted Jeb waiting in the wings to capitalize...

Even before Christie was on anyone's radar for 2016. sigh.... Surely not again.

[giftedgirl77]

2. You're right & regardless of what anyone says...

A choice of Clinton or Bush in 2016 sucks.

[Portland Blazer]

22. Even liberal democrats agree tgat Bill was a good president

Only a tiny fringe online, left and right, say Clinton was bad.

[giftedgirl77]

23. Nowhere did I mention anything about BC being a bad POTUS.

I have a problem with the choice being narrowed down toa Clinton or a Bush. I don't think we should be so hard up for ppl to run our country that we have to keep electing ppl from the same damn families.

[Treant]

6. Maybe, but

I don't see too much competition there. Even most Republicans I know, unreasonable on most topics, can barely tolerate to have the Bush name come out of their mouths.

Jeb is poisoned by his family name.

[Warren DeMontague]

8. Right now he's the biggest flea in the circus

you're right about that.

I'd be surprised if he got the nod, but they don't have a lot of options.

[ecstatic]

10. There's no way. His brother destroyed the family name. We'd see Rmoney

again before we'd see another Bush. lol

3. It ain't no mystery -- the Governor is Christory

See ya in traffic, you bastid!

9. ROFL

4. K & R !!!

5. Christie was never going to be it.

As a "national Republican candidate," he was always strictly an inside-the-TV-box phenomenon.

Jeb Bush has always been the favorite. People should understand how this stuff works by now.

14. the original rinse and repeat n/t

[sabrina 1]

7. Questions about Christie should have been asked, especially by Democrats, BEFORE he

was elected with their help, shamefully.

People WERE asking questions, about his handling of Sandy eg but Dems chose him over Buono, a Democrat, for some still inexplained reason.

I think Dems need to explain their enthusiastic support for a man who was known to be a bully, an enemy of the public schools and whose dealings with Sandy Victims made him a very vulnerable candidate for that election.

And in a Blue state.

The only explanation I recall, at the time, was 'he can't be beaten' so 'stfu'.

Will Dems learn from this, that you cannot trust a Republican? It seems to be a hard lesson for many Dems who repeatedly tell us it is possible to 'work with Republicans'.

The Left was right again.

[Segami]

12. Bwhahahaha!

[spanone]

13. k&r...

[oldandhappy]

15. very little credence

yep!!!

[otohara]

16. Christie Reminds Me of Putin

and since the GOP has embraced that bully why not the one from NJ?

[Kablooie]

21. He reminds me of Humpty Dumpty.

[uncommonlink]

17. If he can't be gotten criminally,

at least his political career is going down like the Titanic.

[Gothmog]

18. Christie is a really nasty and unethical person

It would have been a battle for him to get the GOP nomination before bridgegate. Now Christie has no chance at all

[Scairp]

19. Why thank you!

I'll take my share of the credit for that most obvious prediction.

[Flying Squirrel]

20. I liked the last paragraph

Christie hasn’t had many successes in 2014 thus far, but he at the very least has done this much: He’s gotten a Democrat in Congress to admit his Republican colleagues may have been right. New Jersey Dem Frank Pallone is quoted in a Daily Beast report by Olivia Nuzzi as intimating that Republicans who held up providing federal aid to New Jersey in the wake of Superstorm Sandy, worried it would be wasted and/or “lost” due to corruption, may have been onto something. “I have to go back to the very people who said ‘I didn’t want to vote for this because it wasn’t going to be managed properly’ now that they’ve been proven right,” Pallone told Nuzzi. “It’s very sad.”
