In reply to the discussion: Christie: Hug from Bruce made me weep [View all]Dark n Stormy Knight
(9,760 posts)57. No, no, no, Bruce! You're too easy. You could have made him work for it much harder. Use that
reinforcement sparingly. Did you really tell him you're officially friends now? Way too soon, Boss.
Give a few words of recognition for his working with Obama. But, no hugs, yet.
He'd have been so excited he'd want more. He would have said more supportive things about the president. You could have shot him a nice email.
Take it show. Make him actually support some bipartisan legislation, or speak admiringly of teachers. Then you give him the phone call. Hint that you'd love to have him attend the fundraiser for unions you're thinking of having at your home.
Just think of what you could have made him do!

Please, don't use Bruce's term of endearment for that RW prick. I don't care how much of a puppy dog

Weep? Maybe that's because you're a man. That's not what it would have done to me!

Soon Christie may go independent a la Govs. Charlie Crist (FL) and Lincoln Chafee (RI)

Rather ironic you say that. My cousin and I once shared a bottle of gin and we both burst into tears

maybe Christie will go on to start a 12 step program for recovering republicans.
