The real reason this will bury Christie no matter what else is proven at this point:

[lindysalsagal]

He can't outrun this because his past reputation makes this all too easy to believe. Stick a fork in him: He's done. Not even New Jersey will touch him at this point. He's nuclear. He's toxic.

We've all heard him bluster at little critcisms from unknown citizens-People who he really doesn't have to answer to send him right off the rails. He's got tissue paper thin skin. We all know he's a hot enough head to do something this nasty for such a puny reason: Losing the endorsement from the opposition party.

We also know he's a totally hands-on micro-manager. Governing is sport for him. He doessn't let anyone else move his chess pieces: He won't give up the fun of it.

This is exactly what this seems to be.

Now, who do the GOP have to run?????

[JaneyVee]

1. The big govt haters won't be able to defend this big govt move.

[lindysalsagal]

3. Too true.

It remains to be seen exactly who will be able to back him, at all. Really angry old white guys???

[elfin]

2. And now he is the "bully pulpit" for ALL Repug governors

With his new position as their dear leader - The face for the entire group that now probably want to run run away from pics with him.

Whatta shame. Not

[H2O Man]

4. Interesting.

Definitely recommended.

I think that equally important is that he doesn't appeal to either the rabid tea partiers, or the "good old boys" that traditionally run their party. Neither group will look to defend him on this.

[catbyte]

5. Who will they run? "Jeb Bush, paging Mr. Bush..."

[Auntie Bush]

6. I'm sure Jeb is waiting in the wings for something like this to happen.

He's hoping to be drafted by his desperate party with no one reasonable to run.

Maybe Ryan will run again...just a thought. Or maybe Palin! lol

[liberal_at_heart]

7. I doubt it. He will pin the whole thing on an aide, will fire them, and probably come

out untouched.

[Barack_America]

8. Which would then prove he doesn't have control of his staff.

Hard to get out of this unscathed.

[Barack_America]

9. Do you want someone this vindictive and petty in charge of our nukes?

That argument alone will kill him in the primaries, if he even makes it there.

[temporary311]

11. Forget the nukes

You want President Christie with access to all that yummy NSA intel? There is no way this man would be able to resist abusing it.

[Barack_America]

12. I don't want him in charge of anything.

I just wanted to highlight what an obvious and fatal attack to his Presidential run this is.

[postulater]

10. His twin - Walker.

[rhett o rick]

13. Who the GOP runs depends on who controls the GOP. Is it the Koch Bros?

The Bush Crime Family? The Carlyle Group?

Who does Karl Rove currently work for?

[cherokeeprogressive]

14. You are aware of how fast the news cycle moves these days, right?

In 2015 when it's brought up people will do nothing more than roll their eyes.

[Kablooie]

15. Talk on the conservative sites say they want Romney to run again.

And there's always superstars Ted Cruz or Rand Paul.
That is if they aren't killed in the great Tea Party revolution that will sweep the nation in March. Heh.

[Warren DeMontague]

17. Romney to run again?

You're shitting me.

[Warren DeMontague]

16. Also, traffic jams are about as popular as root canals.

That isn't going to help.

[lindysalsagal]

18. I stand by this early post.

It's gonna be so fun watching this thing unravel and wrap around is neck.
