I mean, why would anybody think Christie was either honest or moral in the FIRST place?
This is often what non-voters say about ALL politicians.
I was trying to talk politics with one of my fellow temps about fifteen years ago. He seemed like a pretty smart guy, but he said he didn't vote. Why not? Answer - 'They are all a bunch of crooks.'
I said, maybe that is true, but some of them will increase the minimum wage, and some will not. Christie, of course, vetoed tax increases on the rich and then signed a budget with tax increases on the poor.
That right there seems both dishonest AND immoral, irregardless of what he did with Sandy's bridge over the river Kwai. So I am not sure why Delta Dawn could not have seen that BEFORE he was re-elected. Dude never was gonna take Jersey to that mansion in the sky.

The first time I saw photos of Bush, and Christie, red flags went up and stayed there.

Did she turn a blind eye to what Christie believes in, or the morals of his party? Did she not hear of the Koch luncheon where he outlined his plans to hurt the people of New Jersey for the super rich? Or is she afraid of Chrstie?
Her statement calls into question her crediblilty or attention span, IMHO.
