“Christie did this to himself. It’s not a surprise that he couldn’t pass VP vetting.”
Somebody this incredibly moderate is by no means only VP material for the GOPe. It would not surprise me at all if a Christie/Martinez ticket is what it comes down to once the smoke clears from the conservative circular firing squad.
There’s going to be a special prosecutor on this one.
Circular, my foot.
People who wanted Romney and couldn't undertand conservatives who said "Not just no, but Hell No!" always described the malaise as that of a "circular" firing squad, as if everyone was just aiming willy-nilly at the "Republican" directly across the "circle," when in reality pretty much everybody was aiming at the same guy, nothing "circular" about it.
No, there is a left SIDE and a right SIDE. "Circular firing squad" is a semantic mechanism to deflect responsibility and accountability.
