Don't Miss Sarah Jones's Essay On Kristi Noem Titled Predatory Is The Point On The Daily.
Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) has reacted to Mitt Romney weighing a third run for the White House by completely imploding and attacking the media.
The media in New Jersey was not happy that Christie held a gathering for the national press only before his State of the State address. Matt Arco pointed out that Gov. Christie has been dodging the local media for months, “Christie has limited taking questions from local media as he mulls a national campaign. He hasn’t held a Statehouse news conference since September and has limited the number of questions he takes from local press at his public appearances since then that included time for questions. Asked after his State of the State address whether the decision to speak exclusively with national reporters was a sign he’s putting more attention on exposing himself to a national audience, Christie responded: ‘No.'”
Christie reacted to the New Jersey media criticism of his decision by self-destructing.
Michael Barbaro tweeted:
Chris Christie responded to Mitt Romney basically pushing him out of the 2016 race for the Republican nomination by launching a bitter attack on the local media, who are the same people that the national media will turn to for analysis and reporting if Christie decides to run.
Beyond being a dumb decision, Chris Christie’s behavior illustrates why he will never be elected president. This is the same lash against your enemies compulsion that caused Bridgegate. Gov. Christie can’t control his impulses. He lacks the discipline that a winning candidate must possess.
If Romney runs against Jeb Bush in 2016, there is no room in the Republican field for Christie. Bush and Mitt Romney will be battling for control of the pro-business establishment wing of the Republican Party. A poll released this week by Fairleigh Dickinson University revealed that Christie’s job approval rating in New Jersey is stuck at 39%. Christie’s approval rating plunged during Bridgegate, and it never came back.
The only person who thinks that Chris Christie can win the Republican nomination is Chris Christie. What the American people are witnessing is a pathetic governor holding on to a delusion of something that will never be.
