Showing Original Post only (View all)Honest question... Does Christie want Romney to win on Tuesday? [View all]
Color me cynical.
Everyone is aware that many people who know Romney personally, don't like him.
During the 2008 GOP primary, it was well known that John McCain and Mike Huckabee hated Romney well beyond standard political means.
During the 2012 primary, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich both had a personal dislike of Romney. Although to their credit, both are currently on board with Romney's campaign. But do we doubt they would turn against Romney if they had the opportunity? Currently Ron Paul, the one true friend we thought Romney had during the primaries, has refused to endorse him.
That brings me to Christie.
Governor Christie has been the top spokesperson for Romney. But at the first opportunity to jump ship (pardon the pun), Christie seemingly can't wait to throw Romney and his campaign overboard!
The bottom line is Governor Christie does not want Romney to win. He wants 2016 to be an open election. I think Bobby Gindal does too. If you are Romney, you have to feel as though you have been stabbed in the back. But lets be honest, the guy seems to rub everyone the wrong way.
Romney reminds me of that classic rich guy who is sitting on the psychiatrist's couch and can't answer this one simple question from the doctor...... "Through all of your years of making money, did you ever make any friends?"
Yes, I know the storm is serious.
And yes, I have no doubt Obama is doing an excellent job coordinating the relief effort with Christie.
But it seemed to me that Christie really went out of his way to make sure America new Obama was doing a great job. And he had no problem slamming Romney even on FOX.
Remember, folks, Christie was the keynote speaker at the GOP convention!
Call me cynical, but at the first opportunity, Christie couldn't jump ship from the Romney campaign fast enough.
BTW... I think Christie is telling all of us who is going to win next week.
Think about it. Would Christie be be this cold to Romney if he thought he was going to be President in 2 months? The clean up work and disaster relief effort is going to take years to complete. He will need federal help for the foreseeable future. He will need a President on his side. Governor Christie is a smart man. And we just saw what side he is betting on.
