Washed-Up Chris Christie Rips Into Hillary Clinton

[DonViejo]

Four years ago in Tampa, the New Jersey governor was a man on the rise. In Cleveland, he’s a political dead man—but he still can still play Trump’s hardass law-and-order guy.

CLEVELAND—It was surely different from 2012.

Back then, Chris Christie was a potential candidate introducing himself on the national stage as his party nominated Mitt Romney.

The Republican convention was the first time many conservatives and Americans around the country learned the facts of what would become the New Jersey governor’s stump speech: that he is the son of an Irish father and a Sicilian mother, that his mother ruled with an iron fist and his dad was, “in the automobile of life,” merely “a passenger.” He was a successful Republican in a blue state, and he got things done. He told it like it was. He was, perhaps, the something different they were looking for.

Memorably, that speech was a giant flop, one that Christie would have to redeem himself from. But back then, there was reason for people to want that redemption. Back then, he had promise.

Back then, he had a future. Now he just has Trump.

1. I suspect there are parts of Chris Christie that are decisively not "washed up"...

...but only because he can't reach them on his own.
