Even Weaker

Personally, I don't think the bridge scandal is that big of a deal in terms of Chris Christie's chances of being president in 2016. Is still think he'd make a great president. This isn't any different than things Democrats have done in the past so why is the left all bunged up about it? In fact, I would think the right would be more pissed off because Christie is acting like a Democrat in pulling this sort of shit. Besides, it's far less worse of a transgression than the sheer moonbattery we have seen these last few years from conservatives.

Yet, if Christie is toast, the GOP is really fucked. This recent piece in the Washington Post shows how there really isn't a good candidate out there that can win a national election. If 2012 was weak, 2016 is going to be downright awful without Christie. Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Scott Walker, Marco Rubio or Bobby Jindal? I challenge Republicans to show me someone who can beat Hillary Clinton, let alone a Democrat at all.

In 1973 no one was predicting Jimmy Carter as the next President, or in '89 Bill Clinton.

I doubt whoever wins the Republican nomination will be less than a horror to you and you will curl up in a ball and suck your thumb if that person does beat Hillary (or whoever the Dems end up nominating). After all, in '73 every Dem figured Teddy Kennedy would be the nominee and win.

Show me how the GOP gets more than 260 EVs given the realities of the electorate and considering they want to nominate someone who is very conservative. The Republicans haven't gotten more than 300 EVs since 1988. They are a dying party unless they change.
