[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think he should run. He’s not likable.[/quote]

He's the only Republican I do like[/quote]

The problem with Trump is that he basically threw open Overton’s Window. GWB was absolutely hated and loathed when he left office in 2008. He was a bastard who basically destroyed a million lives in Iraq and crashed the global economy. But in hindsight, he looks pretty good compared to Trump. Trump was the best thing that ever happened to GWB’s legacy.

Similarly, Christie was a total sh#thead but now looks pretty good in comparison to Trump. Christie wasn’t staging coups or promoting 2A gun toting convoys of supporters.

This country’s voters are basically abuse victims, rationalizing otherwise crappy behaviors because we’ve been traumatized by worse (Trump). [/quote]

I agree. - but also it's pretty normal for politicians to be better liked once they are out of office. Everything looks better once you're done dealing with the day to day of it. And GWB became friends with Michelle Obama, so that gave him some whitewashing - plus those charming paintings. Look what we think of Jimmy Carter today, for pete's sake!

I guess Christie sounds like a normal person when he talks. The other Rs sound so creepy and weird. They use language that doesn't make any sense to me. They have these bizarre sing song voices. They make my skin crawl and my brain hurt.

Christie sounds like a guy. A smart guy I could imagine talking to about normal things. I would never vote for a Republican at this stage of our dying democracy, but I do think if he became president it wouldn't be a total effin catastrophy. He'd do a lot of stuff I disagreed with, and we'd be overall fine. The others - I don't think so.

I don't care about Bridgegate. I grew up in Rhode Island and I sort of miss the days of petty corruption and fighting at that level. It all looks so low stakes compared to now.
