office to punish someone?

1. NO ... and THAT is why so many Democratic mayors "endorsed" him.

They did not endorse him because they preferred him over Buono.

They did it because they knew that there would be retribution taken on their towns and constituents if they did not.

This is what WE should be screaming at the media. These are the dots that they should be connecting.

3. Tip of the iceberg.

Chris Hayes made the point by asking why did everyone the journalists talked to immediately assume this was political retribution?

4. His reputation was the motivation

Behind all of this. He's power drunk. Christi has never struck me as a real baller. Girls probably beat him up in school.

Did you ever see the movie New Jack City? That's happening in reality in Camden - it's one giant size drug den thanks to Chris Christie. But Camden has always voted blue so why should Christie help them?
