A thought -admittedly of the CT variety - keeps crossing my mind about Chris Christie's recent blow out win for the governorship of New Jersey.
What would the National Democratic Party and New Jersey State Democratic Party have to gain by a landslide Christie win?
Did the New Jersey Democratic Party and the National Democratic Party allow Chris Christie to win with the big numbers he did, abandoning Barbara Buono, in order to give him enough rope hoping he would hang himself before 2016? And hoping they could give him a kindly assist in the rope department?
Christie's bullying style and his ginormous ego were not exactly state secrets and he could be counted on to continue to play out his rough 'Soprano's-like' character. Christie would continue to be Christie.
Did the New Jersey Democratic Party and the National Democratic Party know about a lot of the crimes and irregularities that Christie was involved in and decided that the best way to deal with him for 2016, was to expose him while in the role of governor? There seems to be an never ending pile of Christie Corruption that is dug up every day.
Don't forget that Bridgegate happened in Christie's first term and as a writer to the nj.com asks: Letter: Why did Bridgegate scandal break AFTER election? So, the Dem insiders surely knew some of the stuff that we are just finding out. Their goal was to bring it to the public's attention in a way to make Christie a villian and not a victim. And to cream him in the process. And most importantly, make him toxic and not a viable candidate even to the most rabid Tea Partiers.
Basically I am wondering if the Democrats (and perhaps some yet unnamed 2016 wannabe allies who were appauled at the prospect of a Christie2016Candidacy,) decided the best way to topple King Kristie was when he was at the top of his form, and to take him down, piece by piece, so that when 2016 came, his name would be a Republican laughing stock and a piece of failed history?
Just wondering?
(Oh wait a minute, we are talking about the Democrats here.... could they craft such an artful trap to take advantage of well, Christie just being Christie?)
So, what do you think? Should this diary be HR"D out of existence for a ridiculous Conspiracy Theory? Or is there a possibility that some Dems actually were playing some 11th dimensional chess?
That, or things just worked out very, very conveniently for the Dems for 2016 with regard to CC.
