these are also my exact thoughts about chris christie’s seemingly pointless campaign. he’s not campaigning for himself, he’s campaigning against trump, regardless of whom that benefits (hopefully joe biden in 2024)
“However much liberals don’t like him — and they really don’t like him — it’s to his credit that Christie has a pretty good read on the political sensibilities of respectable white people, who are the great globular middle of American politics that privileges above all the preservation of peace, order and the status quo. Trump’s presidential crimes are too much for many of them. Christie seems to be pandering to that view.”
