    Maybe it would be a better idea to look for people that didn’t endorse Trump the moment they lost to him to be his competition this time around.

    Chris Christie is one of the current human embodiments of the meaning of the phrase “talk is cheap”.

    Not like it was hard to see how big a pile a shit Trump was back in 2016 so Christie clearly supported such a person then when he thought it would be good for him politically, what has changed now?

      As much as it is opportunism, most of Trump’s power in the Republican party comes from people thinking he has power. The more that stand up to him as he is weaker makes him weaker. So, I wouldn’t be praising Christie, but let’s welcome the progress that his criticism brings.

      It does ring hollow, similar to the anyone but Trump Republicans before the first primaries he was in. It’s looking for an alternative until none is found and then settling in Trump. However, it still erodes his strong man imagez which is blatantly untrue.
