Christie’s calculus to win the presidency in 2024: Trump is ‘in the rearview mirror’...Christie does an hourlong interview on CNN Monday

[basquebromance]

Trump told Christie after they both got COVID: "you're not gonna blame me, are you?"

a new Iowa poll shows 62 percent think the Republican Party is more important than loyalty to Trump with 26 percent saying the opposite

the argument against running in 2024 for anyone but Trump is, even if they win the primary, they would lose 1/3rd of GOP votes in the general because those folks are Trump cultists, leading to defeat against whoever the Democrat is.

Christie says in response that anyone who runs for president based on such a political calculus is not qualified for the office

Dimmer calling me a cultist hahahahahahaha

presidential campaigns are about the future. Trump is the past. Christie is the future

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Presidential campaigns are about the PRESENT--- of the country. Trump was the best thing that has happened to this country in a LONG time. All of the negatives about Trump were created by the Democrats! Their incessant media blasting! That is what people got tired of. Other than that, Trump's snarkiness was mostly in response to and in defense of all the rude and inflammatory attacks he got on a daily basis.

Trump has changed the GOP for the better, finally made them competitive with democrats short of their cheating. If the GOP fully embrace MAGA now and run with it, with or without Trump running, they have a winning strategy for America that people can get behind.

Christie is a dyed in the wool RINO. He has about as much electibility as Bob Dole and if he is the GOP nomination, the GOP loses again, simple as that. And if Christie gets in office, he will become super-RINO about as fast as "moderate-Joe" switched to radical extreme leftist once in office. America loses again.

This country needs 4 more years of Trump, but perhaps a Trump 2.0, if Trump can find it in him to reinvent himself--- still Trump, but without making himself such easy fodder for leftwing media derision, and that is doable by simply using the past 4 years as a model for what worked and what went wrong and how.

Zero chance. He tanked out last time around. Nothing has happened since then that would raise his political capital and quite a few things have happened to lower it.

Thread.

Christie represents 80 percent of the american people who still want america to be a democracy. Trump represents the minority of folks who want a Trump cultist dictatorship

Christie’s calculus: Trump is ‘in the rearview mirror’

The former New Jersey governor is mounting a de facto exploratory bid for president and it’s put him on a collision course with his one-time ally.

Pretty much everyone sees Christie as a blithering idiot. He will be gone after the first round.

Christie says he supports Biden's infrastructure bill, even though there's some stuff in it he despises
