Why do people think the NJ Democratic establishment wants Christie out of office?
But wouldn't they want Christie wounded, but not impeached? If he runs for the White House and wins they lose him as gov, but if he's kept from running and made damaged goods it gives more power to the Dem bosses in and out of the Legislature.
The Dem bosses are Christie's most important allies in the state. It's just like NY state politics: no one cares what party you are or what your ideology is as long as everyone makes money working together. The whole thing is a cesspool of corruption and both state parties in NJ and especially in NY are down with that
