Of course. Another little fascist. Like the other guys. Ugly little fascists, the lot of them.
You guys have to stop this infighting re Hillary and Bernie. This is a real fight against very poisonous minds.
And Hillary and Bernie need to come out against this wave sweeping America.
Christie wants a job in the next administration, and he's more likely to become Attorney General under Trump than under Hillary or Bernie. This is about Christie, not about Trump (who Christie expects to be the nominee, because poll numbers).
@ 5, Heez outta luck then, 'cause the Don Don already has Alex Jones lined up for AG, Nancy Grace for SCOTUS, and Kim Kardashian for Secretary of State if she can re-inflate her boobs back up to pregnancy size.
The import of this endorsement is that the so-called Republican establishment is not uniting under Rubio's banner for an all-out push to deny Trump the nomination. In the upcoming primaries, Rubio needs to break certain percentage thresholds in order to be awarded delegates, which is more in doubt now than before this announcement. A poor showing on Tuesday, lengthens Rubio's odds, which are already getting long. Look for a knockout blow coming March 15 in the winner-take-all primary in Florida.
@ LavaGirl - "You guys have to stop this infighting re Hillary and Bernie."
That would be nice, wouldn't it? Unfortunately, it doesn't seem likely.
Right wing Super PACs, including Mitt Romney's American Crossroads, are attacking Hillary from the left. And they are doing it because it is working - there are an embarrassing number of liberals who are swallowing everything the right wing Super PACs are feeding them and then regurgitating it all over the internet. This is striking since Hillary did as well with liberal Democrats in '08 as President Obama.
The anti-Hillary vitriol from some people on the left should probably also be considered through the lens of some recent polling: men in the 18-29 demographic recently expressed sexist voting preferences on par with Republican men. Forty-two percent of both 18-29 year old men and Republican men said they were more likely to vote for a man (as opposed to having no preference or preferring to vote for a woman); twenty-six percent of Republican men and 23% of 18-29 year old men said they were less likely to vote for a woman. These two groups expressed a significantly stronger gender preference than any other demographic group.
I've been very proud of both Democratic candidates in this election cycle. They have created a stark contrast with the train wreck that has been the Republican nomination process. It's disheartening that some liberal voters have been following in the footsteps of the Republican candidates rather than the Democratic candidates.
OK, I did not see this coming. Chris Christie always struck me as a bit of a dick, but a reasonable dick. He is a very popular governor of New Jersey -- how bad can he be?
Pretty bad, I guess. Just to review the choices:
Donald Trump -- Unqualified dick.
Ted Cruz -- Extremist, barely qualified dick.
Marco Rubio -- Mental lightweight (as Christie so plainly showed).
John Kasich -- Qualified, right of center, but not so extremist Republican.
So why the hell did Christie not endorse Kasich? I don't get it. What the hell does Christie have against the only governor and the most qualified Republican left in the race?
@7 - Ya know, Mehlman... I keep thinking you're making progress on your journey from douchebaggery to normalcy, but then you come out with something like "Chris Christie would be a great AG", and it takes us back to square one. Mehlman, Mehlman, Mehlman...
@15 So, in other words, according to you Clinton's critics are either right wingers and/or misogynists. You are some piece of work, but more importantly your tone deafness points to the fundamental inability of the Clinton campaign to bring forward the issues that would generate a large voter turnout. We should all be worried.
@ 20 - You have misunderstood. I was speaking specifically to the issue of why the infighting is not going to go away. The debate over which candidate would be a better nominee is a completely separate thing from the nasty, petty, name-calling rhetoric that is also floating around right now.
Republican Super PACs have taken an active role in promoting the infighting. (Read the first article.) And if the small portion of Bernie's supporters who are misogynistic haven't stopped being nasty after he has specifically told them to knock that shit off, its unlikely that anything else will deter them.
The majority of Bernie's supporters are good people, just like the majority of Hillary's supporters. If you are neither a right wing troll nor a misogynist, then it should be obvious that my comment about right wing trolls and misogynists wasn't about you.

He's not dumb either. He wants to be VP, not AG.
