As Chris Christie launches his presidential campaign, he wants to win, but he’s driven in equal measure by a desire to see Donald Trump lose. But as stevebenen writes, the former governor's plan has a couple of important flaws.
There’s a normal pattern to presidential campaign launches. Candidates kick off their White House bids; they make the case for why they should be elected; and folks like me examine their records, their merits, and how they are likely to fare.
To be sure, the former governor is running for the GOP presidential nomination, and there’s every reason to believe he genuinely wants to prevail in the hopes of eventually taking office. But unlike every other Republican contender, Christie has abandoned all subtlety about the motivation that’s adjacent to his personal ambitions:The New Jersey Republican is not a fool. Christie can read the same polls as the rest of us.
In other words, Christie wants to win, but he’s driven in equal measure by a desire to see Trump lose.
