Christie: The “Good Republican”
November 6, 2013
Daniel Greenfield



There’s a Daily Beast article about why the Dems gave Christie a pass that I’m not even going to bother linking to because it doesn’t talk about anything substantial.

I don’t know how disgruntled Christie was over the V.P. nomination going to Ryan or whether he and the Dems struck a deal that navigated Cory Booker, then seen as a tough challenger out of contention and into a seemingly easy Senate race and gave Obama a lot of positive publicity.

That kind of thing takes place on a whole other level.

But the main use that Democrats have gotten out of Christie is to use him as the “Good Republican”. The Democrats always need their “Good Republican” to hold up as an example of how impossible it is to work with the rest of the Republican Party.

“The Good Republican” is there to say that his party has become a bunch of crazy unreasonable fanatics. And if he doesn’t say it in so many words, he lets the Democrats say it for him.

McCain filled this role, until he actually became the nominee. Huntsman briefly filled it. Now it’s on to Christie.
