In reply to the discussion: Fuck Chris Christie [View all]Cosmocat
(14,564 posts)He IS going to be touted "the guy who is going to do to DC and take charge" like W was passed off as "the guy you would like to have a beer with."
And, people in this country are so fed up with DC, even thought it is the Rs being jackasses, that they will GLADLY go along with it.
Hill is the only candidate who can beat him as a D.
First, her own gravitas.
Second, her being a woman will offer the chance to differentiate. Any guy is going to be measured as a man, and will be marginalized as weak (with them REALLY pointing to BO an screaming how "weak" he was) vs Christie being the take charge guy we need.
With Hill his being a hard ass won't make her not being as hard ass as him a negative because she is a woman. Tough for a woman, but offering more of an acceptance that you don't need to be a screaming jerk off to get DC under control.
