Chris Christie is a tragic figure. Like the Marlon Brando character in the amazing movie "On the Waterfront", he could have been a contender instead of a bum. Think about this. He's a moderately conservative politician from a thick blue state. He got elected once and re-elected once in elections that weren't landslides, but were solidly decided. For a conservative-ish republican to get elected in New Jersey means that the guy has some talent.
Now if he ran for anything, he'd get annihilated. From Bridgegate to his utter failure in the presidential race of 2016 to him endorsing the unpopular Trump to his latest fiasco, being seen on a beach where the regular peons couldn't go because of the government shutdown-he's stumbled into more bad publicity than Tiger Woods and Anthony Weiner combined. I used to really like his "I don't care about anything, I do what I want" style but now I see it more as a guy who makes really bad decisons and is unable to recover from them. He might be the most unpopular governor in history, not just of New Jersey but of any state.
Sad to see him like this.
