I never bought into the Christie hype.

Sure, he want to run for president, but I never expected to go far and still don't. That's because the upper crust is waiting for Jeb! Bush to announce his candidacy.

1. Judging by the way conservatives are not really defending him I think he will not be the nominee.

2. After Romney, I honestly can't see them nominating any NorthEastern

Candidate ever again. It's going to be all Southern candidates from here on in.

3. I figured he was kind of an asshole, but to be this corrupt when you plan

to run for President and face the most insane scrutiny of all aspects of your life--how did he think no one would squeal?

9. Romney is corrupt as hell. Much was known of his corruption, and he still won the nomination.

Most politicians are corrupt, and they know others are corrupt too.

TPTB decide which ones fall to scandal and which ones don't. It's their media.

They will support the one(s) they want in both parties to get the result they want to get: someone they know will cater to their interests. Locking up candidates during the primaries from both parties that will serve their interests makes it so much easier for them and so much, much harder for most of us.

4. Yep. It will be Jeb.

Be prepared. Christie is fading fast and BushCo is busy at work already.

6. His "bipartisan moderate maverick" act never fooled me

any more than Bush's, Bush II's, or McCain's did. With his cover blown, his future political ambitions sleep with the fishes. But the GOP's real problem with "Governor Soprano" is that he clearly wouldn't be controllable.

7. Don't say that about Jeb where Paul Ryan can hear.

It would break his heart. He's been walking on sunshine since all this started coming out. He doesn't have a chance at gaining the nomination, let alone winning the presidency, but reality and Ryan aren't exactly on speaking terms.

8. Even if all this didn't come out

Christie would have been toast in the debates because everyone else would gang up on him - not just because of his perceived front-runner status but for palling around with Obama and for not being hateful enough of 'teh gayz," since he signed into law a bill outlawing conversion therapy as well as didn't fight marriage equality becoming law in New Jersey.

10. Not gonna be Jeb.

What would Jeb's slogan be? "My brother's the dumb-ass. I'm the smart one!" Perhaps he could use "Let's pretend 2001-2008 didn't happen." Maybe "Pretend I don't have any children. Or at least pretend they didn't get in the news."
