Our skepticism that Republican voters would ever forgive New Jersey Governor Chris Christie for cooperating with President Obama after Hurricane Sandy devastated the northeast in 2012 appears to have been well-founded.
Christie spoke at a forum in Des Moines, Iowa on Saturday where a member of the audience asked the governor if he regretted cooperating with the president.
Questioner: "I was wondering if when Obama came to help you if you feel like you said too much and possibly helped Obama win the presidency?"
Christie: "No, I don't"
Questioner: "A lot of us feel that way."
The woman asking the question prefaces it by saying the president "came to help" and yet that is somehow a bad thing.
This question comes almost exactly 3 years after the fact. They're still upset about it. They're upset because a governor of a state closely worked with the president of the United States in responding to an unprecedented natural disaster.
The Drudge headline seen at the top of this post may represent the exact moment when Chris Christie lost the 2016 primary. That says an awful lot about the GOP.
