re: #212 Barefoot Grin

I’ve been listening to Jon Lovett interview Chris Christie on Pod Save America while doing errands this morning. Every time Christie is about to seem reasonable Lovett will bring up the past—like when Christie on Hannity in 2020 said that he gives Trump an A for his policies. Confronted, he says “policies; not for his accomplishments.” So I guess CC is all in on building a wall, offsetting tax cuts for the rich with gradual tax raises on the lower and middle classes, chaotic foreign policy, etc. I guess if CC were elected it at least wouldn’t be the disaster a Trump or DeSantis presidency would be, but it wouldn’t be much better.

My guess is that Christie would have a “sane” foreign policy, maybe not one we would prefer, but more in line with Bush 43. He would also have sane policies for dealing with health crises. Doubt he would be a fan of building the wall. But taxes will be traditional Republican narrative: raise them on anyone who isn’t wealthy and reduce for those who are rich
