It really is too bad that he has it. If only all of Trump's circle would sound like him they would come off as intelligent. Often you see him on TV opposite a liberal, the two can have a reasoned conversation without the hyperbole.
If the stars had aligned differently, he would have been Trump's Attorney General instead of Jeff Sessions. He was a Federal Prosecutor before he was the Governor of New Jersey and while he was a prosecutor, put Jared Kushner's father in jail. So Jared wasn't a fan, needless to say!
Yeah the brainwashed, radical right Trump-voting Republicans in Congress are so similar to Republicans during the George Bush (Sr and GW) era....Get outta here!!!!
"...The Pew data, however, make it clear that the shift toward the extreme has happened among Democrats, not Republicans.
This can be seen in dramatic fashion when you look at where the center of each party was in 1994, and where it is today. Pew used a 10-item scale of political values to determine ideological purity among those who claim affiliation with the two parties. The results show that while the Republican center moved only slightly to the right over the past 23 years, the center of Democratic part shifted far to the left. (See the nearby chart.)..."
What you TDSers fail to understand is that Trump is not especially conservative. You mistake loud talking with extremist political positions. He is more pro gay marriage than Obama was in 2008. His border positions are consistent with Obama in 2008. His tax positions are probably to the left of the 1994 Contract with America. He is left of the Republican center on health care. His budget positions are definitely left of the Republican center. He is left of both George W. Bush and Ronald Reagan. His trade positions really are more like the Democrats used to have.

I know. That sunk him. He's pretty sharp usually - he was the first guy to pick Trump.

Yes, I thought that too. The thing is that Christie would not be one to bow to direction from Trump (at least that was/has been my impression). I honestly think Trump would have been better served by a strong AG like Christie but his choice obviously went in another direction.
There were around 200 people attending the Rose Garden ceremony many hugging each other and in close proximity without masks. Christie hugging people and up close without a mask, already 9 infected it will be a miracle if this doesn't spread to many others.
Never underestimate the power of peer pressure. It can make even intelligent people do stupid things. Just look at any of that footage from the Rosa Garden event if you have any doubts.
