Chris “Kristy Kreme” Christie

Chris Christie Concedes on MSNBC That His #1 ‘Job’ Is Attacking Trump For the Democrats


This fraud is not running for anything.

One might be forgiven for assuming the reason a presidential candidate is running for the nomination is to win the nomination and become president.


This is not the case for nearly every candidate running currently in the GOP primary. They know they have no chance to win, and, furthermore, they are essentially doing nothing to change that fact, either out of cowardice or sleazy political calculus or both.

There are two varieties of the current GOP crop of con-man: those who refuse to criticize Trump in any meaningful way so as not to upset the Big Guy or his base in the hopes of being selected as his VP or winning some cabinet position. This is the Vivek Ramaswamy breed.

The other is angling for a CNN contract, a book deal, a Cato Institute think tank appointment, or all three after their candidacies inevitably peter out. These candidates aim to please the donor class, which despises Trump and desperately wants anyone other than him to win the nomination — the base’s preference be damned. This individual positions himself as the straight-talking, principled opposition — laughable — telling hard truths about Trump and generally modeling his campaign, to the extent that’s what it is, in the mold of any standard Republican from 1992.

Chris “Kristy Kreme” Christie belongs to this category.

In that role, Joe Scarborough and his ditzy sidekick brought Christie on to their television production to lambast him for not attacking Trump hard enough in the most recent theater performance marketed as a “debate.”
