Chris Christie is super bitter

... Even some of Christie's closest allies struggled to understand what his fierce loyalty toward Trump — even as Trump seemed to treat Christie as a sort of affable fall guy — was about. The only conclusion anyone arrived at was that Christie has pushed all his chips into the center of the table on a bet that being Trump's staunchest defender would be rewarded when it came time to picking a vice president.

That bet wound up being a big loser. And Christie is just now coming to terms with the fact that he has flushed his political career down the toilet for, well, not much ...

... His best case scenario is a slot in a Trump White House .. although given how Trump passed him over for VP, I'm not sure Christie should feel particularly confident about much in that regard. Worst-case scenario for Christie is he simply disappears into the political ether ...

I'm voting for the political ether

1. Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas.

The only thing Christie got from lying down with Trump was fleas. He sure doesn't have any dignity or self-respect left. If he weren't such a fuckwhistle I'd feel sorry for him - but I don't.

2. Chief of White House staff?

I can see Trump saying "yeah, I could use a butler."

Too bad Christie didn't read DU, or he'd know that people who kiss Trump's ass end up with mouthfuls of....

3. Do you think Christie may have anticipated his fate during this speech?

4. No surprise, apparently that's always been Trump's M.O.

In his personal life, business, charity, and now politics, Trump screws over everyone.

5. Trump's motto

Use 'em & lose 'em.

Christie should have been savvy enough to see where this "relationship" was headed. Apparently he was not.

6. Sorry, Chris, Trump's kids made the decision.

They were able to recognize that you, Chris, didn't bring enough of what Donald needs to the ticket.
They're having enough of a hard time controlling their Dad Donald, without having another undisciplined speaker to lasso in.

7. "...Worst-case scenario for Christie is he simply disappears into the political ether..."

= Best case scenario for the rest of us.
