"Slip Out The Back, Jack"
I notice that Chris Christie is going to speak at the upcoming Allen County (Indiana) Lincoln Day Dinner.
It subtly sends a message that the GOP is trying to break up with you know who. Breaking up with a one time lover given to volatility isn’t really a bad analogy. The entire party is ever-so-slowly (it’s agonizingly glacial) trying to come to terms with the Faustian bargain that was gleefully made a few years back.
Christie, even with his gift for Olympian caliber bombast, is a pragmatic guy. And a healthy dollop of pragmatism is what’s needed. He’s, in some ways, a Mitch Daniels with a New Jersey overlay.
What we have here are some green shoots evidencing a return to sanity. It’s going to take a while. Expect some dynamics which will evoke memories of the film Fatal Attraction. But the change is coming.
