Chris Christie 2024 Is a Joke: In 2010, Chris Christie was a Right-wing media darling.

A tough-talking, no-nonsense former New York prosecutor-turned-New-Jersey governor, Christie was the embodiment of corporate gluttony and law-and-order that made Republican voters flock to him.

That he won as a Republican in notoriously Liberal New Jersey was highly enticing to national Republican Party strategists who were eying their party’s chances in 2012.

In fact, had Christie made it clear that he was going to run in 2012 then it is unlikely that the GOP Republican Primary of that year would have been as divisive.

What’s more, Republicans would’ve gotten a candidate that, until 2012, they were proud of.
