Chris Christie is here to rescue the Republican Party | Sheneman – nj.com

Chris Christie has been cosplaying the respectable Republican for a while now, but we here in his home state of New Jersey remember. We remember the screaming at teachers, we remember the government shutdowns, we remember the beach vacation he took during that shutdown and we remember his shameless groveling over the four years of the Trump administration during which he gladly humiliated himself and enabled a man who actively tried to overthrow Democracy. He just wrote a book about how to save the Republican party, which is the moral equivalent of breaking someones legs and standing outside the emergency room to sell them crutches.

Christie was a loyal member of team Trump until it became convenient for him not to be. If Trump rang he came running. COVID-laden Supreme court nominee reception? Thank you, Sir, may I have another. Debate prep? My pleasure Mr. President. Now, he happily tells anyone with a camera that the GOP must move on from Trump, and wouldnt you know it, hes available for the job.

I have no doubt in my mind that if it becomes advantageous for Christie to rejoin team Trump a year or six months from now he would disavow everything he wrote or said that cast aspersions on the fearless leader and fall in line. Maybe this time Trump will actually make Christie Attorney General instead of stringing him along for four years. Or maybe the former president will just drag him on stage at a rally to mock him again. I remember that. I wonder if he does.
