Update: Chris did a bang up job in his apology sermon, took full responsibility, the buck stops here crap. I don’t think he will be the worse for ware over this. Short of a smoking gun, Christie is still in the drivers seat for the 2016 GOP nod. Do I trust him? No. But time will tell what true colors the man has.
Romney chose not to pick Chris Christie as his running mate in the 2012 presidential run. One of the reasons for not selecting Christie was his penchant for petty vengeance and temperament. The vetting process alerted Romney to potential distractions that could derail any chance he may have at unseating Obama. After not being chosen for the VP candidacy, Christie showered affection on Obama during a visit to the Governors state for an assessment of the damage from Hurricane Sandy. So over the top was the embrace of Obama many people asserted that Christie did it to get back at Romney for the VP slight.
Now here we are 14 months later finding out that yes, Chris Christie is a bully. His decision to cause a huge traffic jam out of vengeance against another politician. This may have delayed emergency vehicles that potentially led to the death of a woman who was waiting for that service. For Christie to not look at the big picture of this decision should pretty much scare the hell out of voters. This is going to mess up the 2016 presidential elections.
I liked Christie. I liked almost everything about him. I also thought he was a shoe in as Romney s running mate. Now I can see why Romney hedged.
Reap the whirlwind Chris, karma is a vengeful bitch.
