(62,325 posts)explain to her why the Dem Party was not supporting the Dem Candidate. You misunderstood what she was saying.
And frankly, to use such an excuse 'we are cowards, we have to support the Republican bully because we are afraid of him' is utterly ridiculous. Which is why they are probably telling the truth now. Maybe a few gullible people in NJ might have believed that, but now the entire country is watching. So they are telling the truth, they actually supported the Republican over the Democrat, shamefully.
I remember the arguments right here trying to defend that despicable show of support for Christie. There simply is no excuse for it, except to tell the truth. The Dem Party has been infiltrated by Corporatists who are far more comfortable with another Corporatist like Christie and they voted accordingly.
Now the question is how to replace these Dinos with Real Democrats who will vote for Democrats.
