The Right is Celebrating the Christie Scandal

[madville]

Checked a couple of right-wing site forums and they are all high-fives and celebration. A little bitching about the "liberal media" but well over 90% are in favor of Christie getting taken down and ruining his 2016 chances, that guy is hated on the right for sure.

1. They shouldn't be celebrating. He was their only hope of a Republican taking back the WH.

Who are they hoping gets the nom, Ted Cruz?

[PM Martin]

2. The tea party is out to "take back" their country.

They are old and bitter. They believe that Ted Cruz is going to win in a landslide in 4 years.

3. Jeb and Marco are smiling right now and so is Rand Paul...n/t

[ProgressSaves]

7. Their party has a lot of insane people that go around complaining that everyone is a closet liberal.

That kind of thinking would be disastrous for any party.

8. They aren't part of the reality-based community.

They're absolutely sure a majority of Americans want Rand Paul. Or Ted Cruz. Or whoever they are currently in love with.

[AlinPA]

18. Probably. IMO, Cruz is darling of the GOP base.

[MoonRiver]

4. They must love to lose.

I'll drink to that!

17. The Right doesn't see a difference

They consider Christie no different than a Democrat. Their main beef lately with him is immigration reform, he supports it.

They also consider him anti-gun and too friendly with President Obama.

5. If the court gives Wildstein his immunity requested

The celebration will fizzle quickly.

10. His attorney requested immunity for his testimony today.

[NoGOPZone]

14. If he gets the immunity, he will have to testify. He took the fifth today. nt

[madashelltoo]

16. Right.

I think the issue is whether immunity granted in this court will apply to others. So, they voted to find Wildstein in contempt of their court.

6. I was just looking through the headlines on Google News and saw this from FOX

"The media that built up Chris Christie as the salvation of the GOP is turning on him in the lead up to Hillary Clinton's Presidential campaign announcement."

Interesting...

11. Well then, we have some common ground after all!

[Orsino]

12. Clearing the way for the magnetic and perfectly coherent...Rand Paul?

Christie was the only wingnut with a prayer of challenging Hillary.

[BobUp]

15. GOP;

tea = good
Crispy = bad

[BobUp]

13. Eating their own again, not even deceased yet!

typical GOP, yes?

[Douglas Carpenter]

19. "We listened to the country club Republicans and ran liberals in 2008 and 2012 and we lost both

times. This time we are going to run a real conservative and win - because they represent the overwhelming majority of Americans." - That is how most of the Tea Party right think.

20. Let the "Rethug circular firing squad" CONTINUE!

The cave-dwelling tea-bagging Rethugs are eating their own!

I love it!
