Which brings us to Chris Christie.
Iâve yet to decide whether the ex-New Jersey governor who left office with a 13 percent approval rating is pathetic or shrewd or some combination thereof. But heâs so desperate for a piece of the action, so hungry for relevance, that he thinks he can have a bakery of cakes and eat them, too.
Christie keeps showing up on ABC Newsâ Sunday show to audition for the 2024 Republican nomination, but because heâs not quite sure whether the party is permanently or temporarily in thrall to the MAGA sociopath, he keeps trying to have it both ways. Heâs so anxious to be on center stage that heâll say whatever it takes, no matter how transparent his naked calculations may appear.
