Pence’s political career will now have the glide angle of an Acme anvil.
“For Gov. Chris Christie, call it Black Thursday.
He appears to have lost the race for vice-president to
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence. So it seems he sold his soul to Donald Trump
at a discount, coming away with the same short hand that Trump has dealt so many of his partners over the years.
And Christie’s mentor and confidante, David Samson, pleaded guilty to demanding a bribe that
was so outlandish it is destined to make the Top-10 list even among the
storied history of corruption in this tortured state.”
Trump has nothing, but short hands…
Of course, it now seems that Trump wanted to be nailing Christie or Gingrich for the next few months (or years, if we’re not lucky). So this might be a sympathy fuck.
