When Christie heard that line, he picked up the phone and called Jeb Bush, and said, "Looks like it's down to just you and me. Do you want to be my VP?" Because any other candidate at any point in modern history dismissing a veteran like that would've been immediately unelectable. permalink fedilink source parent
