The goal is to find out everything about him, it's called vetting. Similar to what repubs did when they met on the inauguration of Obama and made their goal to make him a one term president. McCain/Palin failed because you guys couldn't get your people to the polls.

Christie has more than a traffic jam to explain. Where did all that Sandy money go for one. The list grows daily. He's in Texas and Abbot is avoiding him like the plague, just like Scott in Florida did.

There is no Sandy money scandal just like there was no vetting of Obama.

[tomder55]

Where did the Katrina money go ? Where did the Haiti money go ? I have followed the Sandy thing closely because Christie pissed me off with his butt kissing of the emperor . But I have seen no evidence of mismanagement of the funds .

Despite tough month, Chris Christie breaks fundraising records for GOP | The Daily Caller

[tomder55]

there was a huge protest rally today against Christie .

About a dozen people took part in a noontime protest Tuesday near the base of the George Washington Bridge where unannounced lane closures last September snarled traffic and made Fort Lee residents miserable for four days.

LOL, he better money up while he can. It's not like he is raising all the money on his own star power in the first place.

Hello again,

The question isn't whether he'll be the GOP nominee in '16. He won't.. The question is, can he remain governor.

I sounds like I said that before...

Does anybody believe he'll survive?

Yes, absoluteley he'll remain as governor and complete his term, unless he resigns to run fror pres (highly doubtful) or actually wins the presidency in 2016 - and that ain't gonna happen.

Does anybody think he DIDN'T do what he's being accused of doing??

What is he accused of? Orchestrating the closing? No, he didn't do that. Having knowledge of the plot ahead of time? Nope. Having knowledge of the closing during the few days it was happening? Yes, probably. After all nearly 10 million people were aware of it once it hit the papers, so if he didn't know about it I would be surprised. The fact that he said he didn't know about it "until it was over" is the only gotcha here, and it's immaterial.

[tomder55]

He will be the nominee of the Repubic establishment wants him to be the nominee. This has been ongoing for a month and they haven't put a glove on him. Not sure what the Repubic Rovians want however . There is talk of dusting the moss off of Jeb Bush (ugh).
My early favorite .... Scott Walker .

[paraclete]

so you're saying the 'publicans are going to nominate another loser, now there is news. It just proves that politics is removed from reality

[tomder55]

probably ... they have fallen in love with the idea of the competent neo-statist manager .

Christie is speeding down the road to footnoteville.

A man who can't manage his staff doesn't belong in the White House or any position of power

[tomder55]

nonsense .. they did something without his authority and he held them accountable by firing them.

[talaniman]

The whole staff was rogue? How did that happen?

[paraclete]

Who selected these drongos, you think that someone just goes rogue overnight? no he has to accept the responsibility and the impact on his career. could you imagine a White House run this way? oh wait you already have this experience so you just want more of the same

[tomder55]

no it wasn't the whole staff . He fired a Deputy Chief of Staff and his campaign manager . Unless something else emerges ,then it is clear that these 2 concocted and led this lane closure plan without informing him of the plan..... and then lied to him when he confronted his staff over the incident .

[speechlesstx]

The whole staff was rogue? How did that happen?

I love how you never exaggerate.

[talaniman]

He never asked them what their motives were when he fired them. He didn't want to be accused of "witness tampering". Yeah, right!! And what was that traffic study about with Buono? How about the loot to a nursing home from the Sandy fund?

Come on Tom, you are across the river from this dude and have heard the reporting more than I have. There investigating more than Bridgegate.

Once again you guys are focusing on a non-scandal while ignoring the real ones, like this.
