I'm so embarrassed. My governor endorsed a raging racist to be President of the United States.

[NNadir]

The State of New Jersey is, I think, one of the best places in the world to live, but somehow we have a problem electing decent Governors.

Now we have the height of obscenity. Our useless Governor, Chris Christie, a blubbering incompetent buffoon, announced that he supports a freak racist.

I'm so embarrassed.

[virtualobserver]

1. Don't feel too bad...my governor campaigned with Ted Nugent

[Takket]

2. aww don't feel bad!

My governor poisoned and entire city of 100,000 people. Christie is a Saint compared to Snyder.

[white_wolf]

15. I think Snyder now officaly qualifies as a super-villain

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. You have nothing to be embarrassed about, my dear NNadir.

Unless, of course, you voted for him, which I doubt.

These people get into office despite our best efforts.

Someday he will be gone from public office, and what a relief that will be.

[Kber]

4. Feel your pain

Found out when my aunt form MI texted "Omg, you Gov endorsed..."

Lovely to be humiliated in front of the entire nation.

[MADem]

5. It's sad. Not your fault, though. Your governor will be gone soon, I think. nt

[Chasstev365]

6. Your Governor Endorsed Hillary Clinton?

[NNadir]

19. I'll take this as another endorsement of Trump, right here at DU. n/t

[pampango]

22. You can call Hillary many things but a 'raging racist'. Now I've seen it all.

For better or worse, much of her support base in the Democratic Party is with African Americans and Hispanics. Unless you think these people are not too bright, I doubt they would support a 'raging racist' for the nomination.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

7. Did you personally vote for 'your governor'?

Cause my jackass of a Governor is still running for PResident, and I sure as heck didn't ever vote for him, so I don't accept blame for him.

[dchill]

8. The embarrassment, as always, is all his.

[Barack_America]

9. My governor poisoned thousands of children...

...knew about it, and didn't try to stop it.

So, yeah, you've got company.

[NNadir]

21. Republicans are pretty much the same whenever they infest a government.

Yours is even worse than mine.

[The empressof all]

10. I hear ya!

I'm a Jersey Girl who left 30 years ago....and I'm embarrassed! I think I may even have family who voted for him....




All I can say about this entire election season is WTF!!!!!

[Lizz612]

11. My former Gov.

Has endorsed *both* Bernie and Trump! (Jesse Ventura is a real loon.)

[spanone]

12. your governor is an embarrassment to all...

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

13. We in Illinois know how to treat our Governors

We send 'em to prison!

[Lizz612]

25. Lol!

[etherealtruth]

31. OMG ... I almost spit coffee out onto my keyboard

[jimlup]

14. Yes, I was surprised actually

I've never liked Christi but I thought he was better than a Trump endorsement. Apparently there is a cabinet post or a VP waiting for him.

[NNadir]

20. Perish the thought. One of our Governors, a really, really bad one did that recently.

That awful person Bush appointed Christie Whitman to the EPA.

We all know how that turned out: Carbon Dioxide Concentrations, Mauna Loa

[Blue_In_AK]

16. Don't feel bad.

Alaska once had an extremely embarrassing half-term governor, and she's still out there mouthing off. We all have our crosses to bear.

[MoonchildCA]

17. Somebody's hoping for the...

VP slot...

[Mendocino]

23. The rw version of diverse ticket

Two bombastic narcissist loudmouths, one from NY, the other from Jersey. You know completely different.

[NCjack]

30. There could be a murder in the Oval Office. /nt

[Warren DeMontague]

18. He's a blustering bully and a thug.

You have my condolences, your governor is an asshole.

[Vinca]

24. You're not half as embarrassed as you'll be when the Trump/Christie ticket wins in November.

New Jersey might be nice, but remember Cape Breton. LOL.

[NNadir]

32. Perish the thought. It does seem to me...

...that among Democrats, people may be working to make that happen.

The vicious "Hillary is Hitler" and "Sanders is Stalin" rhetoric here is way over the top. Disagreement can be good, to a limit, but that limit has been passed at Democratic Underground in my less than humble opinion.

[Vinca]

33. I hadn't seen those posts and I agree some people go over the top.

Just remember, we're a teeny tiny representation of what is going on in the political world.

[BlueMTexpat]

26. I was afraid that MY Gov

Hogan would do it too because his pal Christie did. But he hasn't yet. http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/politics/blog/bal-hogan-pal-christie-endorses-trump-hogan-says-no-thanks-20160226-story.html

I could be joining you soon though!

Boy, do I miss MOM!

[mainer]

27. Move over. My governor is Paul LePage

I'm way more embarrassed than you are.

[gwheezie]

28. My governor supported state sanctioned vagina probing

And is going to prison.

[JustAnotherGen]

29. There's a light at the end of the tunnel

January 2018 can't get here soon enough.
