Yes, excellent point. My money is that they will blame this on a rogue staffer and say he didn't know.
I don't think this defense will work in the eyes of the public.
Worked with the IRS scandal.
Holy change the subject, Batman! Is that you, Rep. Issa?

If the election is about cover-ups and scandals between CC and HRC, I think it's probably a draw. With the tie going to CC because of the strong taint incompetency that is oozing out of the Obama Admin that will stick to HRC like stink on a monkey.
At some point NJ D's are going to run out of using the big bad bully card they've been using.
Seriously? Kids are trapped on school buses for hours and the first thing that comes to your mind is BENGHAZI?
You have serious mental issues. You really need to get in touch with whatever is the source of your values because there is an obvious disconnect. Clinton has nothing to do with this. Christie will never make it out of a Republican primary. The lunatic fringe of the Republican party -- those like you -- will appreciate stranding kids as a political tactic. But, that bunch won't vote for Christie anyway because he likes Muslims and doesn't hate gays. The few sane Republicans that would support Christie will be turned off by this.
Stop the melodrama. The mayor was using the most obvious heart-strings example, where were kids from NJ being bused into NYC to? A field trip on the first week of school? I am intimately aware of this area, it sucks in general. And I didn't explicitly bring up the Big B, I'm simply pointing out that apples to apples, there isn't much there there, other than politics as usual and a rogue staffer who is probably cleaning out her desk.
The kids weren't going on a field trip. They were trying to get to school. The lane closures caused backups throughout the town. What evidence do you have that this was a "rogue staffer"? That's a presumption on your part.

We will likely hear about more of these types of issues because this is blood in the water for political reporters. Christie's image is that of a man "above" petty politics. That narrative is damaged by this, and by what is likely coming. Berating teachers and other citizens in a public forum and posting it on Youtube may have played well in NJ, but the rest of the country is not like NJ. He is a bully.

I think that there is enough time that it can blow over before the primary season, unless other documented cases of retribution start coming out. Then it's going to look like a persistent pattern instead of a one-off error by a staffer.
