I'm not Republican but I used to kind of think Christie would make a good president because of the way he handled that hurricane mess. He seemed to be in control of the situation. But now his true colors are showing and it's not a very pretty picture to look at.
Most prosecutors who go into politics are jerks. They are inherently unfair, and gear themselves to "winning" more than to finding truth. It's a function of our adversary system of justice and its effect on these guys. I've often wanted to have a contest between Trey Gowdy and Chris Christie to determine who the biggest jerk is.
Unfair? Somewhat; prosecutors are who they are. But one thing few of them are is thoughtful, and another thing few of them are is reflective. Those are qualities a President of any stripe ought to have, and Christie has little of both.
