Christie will forever be blackballed by Republicans for publicly praising President Obama for his and his administration’s quick response in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.

Exactly! And that hug. ;)

Christie, you might remember, was the original "tough guy" with a "New Jersey in-your-face attitude," back in the 2016 GOP nomination race.

So, to recap: Chris Christie will never be able to shake that "hug" he gave Obama due to the fact there are far too many right-wing nuts who see what they want to see... facts be damned. :)

A whole new ballgame and a Christie / DeSantis primary race could be quite interesting. I do think with DeSantis promising to rid this country of the left if elected, we have the moral right to massively advertise and campaign against DeSantis in the primary. And with little need do to incumbency, the left has a massive political campaign apparatus just sitting there...

She could list lots of lovely L-words that apply to Donald. Looney, lamebrain, liar, laughingstock, liability, and of course culminating in Loser.

He praised and thanked Obama, the Democratic candidate running against the GOP’s Mitt Romney, mere days before the election. It is frowned upon for a Republican to ever say something positive about any Democrat, but doing so that close to Election Day was nothing short of blasphemy for many Conservatives.
