Donald Trump just got his butt handed to him
Ah — Chris Christie. Where would this Republican presidential race — and the people forced to witness it — be without him? It’s a bunch of cowardly idiots running, so we’d probably be in hell. Only — like a vanquishing knight, here comes Chris Christie, metaphorical sword in hand, ready to inject a little life into this soulless race by picking fights with all the candidates, calling them on their bullshit, and, in general, injecting fear into the cowardly bones of all the other candidates.
It’s a nice gig if you can get it. And on Sunday, during CNN’s “State of the Union,” Christie made a fun and interesting analysis. He compared Trump and his incompetent partners in crime to the Corleone crime family in “The Godfather.”
He was talking about Trump and Walt Nauta, and Carlos De Oliveira. “It’s pretty brazen,” Christie said. “These guys were acting like the Corleones with no experience.” Christie focused on Nauta a lot of the time, saying he was the character, Fredo. “Walk Nauta appears to be the Fredo of this family.”
It is a pleasure watching Chris Christie insult the Republican candidates into oblivion. Well, it’s a dirty job, but SOMEONE has to do it. It may as well be Christie. Christie also said that all of this endangered national security. And he’s right.
Can you sense how much Christie wants to see Donald Trump go to Jail? The man may as well be wearing a sign saying, “Lock him up.” But Christie has the potential to do real damage to Trump on the debate stage. He will verbally eviscerate Trump.
And if Trump doesn’t show? The hapless Floridian Ron DeSantis will likely be Christie’s loser of choice. And since Ron is a terrible debater (and terrible person) one knows he’d be hopelessly out of his depth. So yes, Christie, whom I’ve nicknamed “The attack dog,” has a purpose in this race, and it’s fun as hell watching him bring down candidate after candidate.
