    Whatever Christie is doing, it’s aimed for after the election. I think he’s simply raising his profile for either a talking head spot on a network or a leadership role in the party post-Trump. I think he seriously underestimates the degree to which the party has shifted hard right, though.

    Whatever ends up happening, it is going to be wildly entertaining seeing Christie trash Trump at the debates. I think he’ll ridicule Trump for not even having the guts to be present for the debates, and that may trigger Trump to start participating.

      He knows the party has shifted right. He knows it’s not sustainable and trump is old. It will fracture and he’ll look sensible and moderate when picking up the pieces. Trump will be the nominee, but he’ll lose. The party wont do well down ticket. Trump,is less of a draw the more criminal he seems. People are sick of him. The cult will still follow, but less rabidly. Then the part will realise there is nothing there for them. Trump is too old for a shot at anything else. They made their bed and their bed is a dumpster fire.

        I sure hope you’re right and the country doesn’t have to devolve further before we can get back on track to not being a shit hole country.

      I would be shocked if Trump showed up to the debates. There is Trump blood in the water and there will be sharks on that stage.

        Last I heard they demanded to sign a pledge to support the gop candidate,otherwise you’re not allowed to participate.

        Guess what trump had to say about that…
