I normally don't wish ill will on people but I hope he dies of a heart attack from trying to lose weight too quickly. When you fuck with so many people's lives for your own political backroom politics he is just like all the rest of them that are currently in congress.

Cause Hilary and Bill were never in anyway in trouble for Whitewater. In a few years no one will give a **** about some boring scandal any more than anyone gives a **** about Whitewater. And if worst comes to worst all Christie needs to do is be caught in bed with some eighteen year old underwear model and everyone will love him again.

Politics don't work like that though, It is less hurtful to be in a scandal while in office than it is prior to running for it.

People are bringing up the Bengahzi situation for Hilary but no one gives a **** about Whitewater anymore.

So she has that as a hurdle to get over.

And nobody really gives a **** about Benghazi either. Republicans like to scream about it, but the general public is yawning. Unless there's a blow job involved then their attention span doesn't last for more than a couple weeks at most.

And it's, what, two years till the next presidential election? This scandal is gonna be ancient history by the time he starts campaigning.

I highly doubt it. When the campaign starts up that's when the muckracking and mud slinging will happen even more than now and they will dig up all the dirt they can on each other.

Another political tactic to refresh the public about all the shady scandals that happened with a candidate.

Not an old scandal. People already known they don't care about Benghazi or this whole thing with Christie and they're gonna care even less two years from now.

Where are you even getting this information that people don't care?

It's still all over the news and on those political pundit shows.

Keywords "political pundits". The general public could give a **** what Rush Limbaugh or Rachael Maddow think. They act like it's part of some national discussion but it's really only them and the minority of people who follow them discussing it. Cause if they didn't have something to bitch about they wouldn't have a job. Do you hear any outcry from anyone about Benghazi who didn't already think Obama was a socialist or a muslim? No. Because nobody cares.

yeah but during the election time is when those attack ads start popping up and that's when the rest of the public gets interested or they try to pretend they are interested so that they can understand what everyone else is talking about.
