Admittedly listening to Christie take Trump to task last night was part ear candy and part Schadenfreude, not to mention a welcome speaking of truth when it is in order. But I also came to see that glass as half-empty when he stated that Joe Biden and his policies represent just as much of an existential threat to America as Donald Trump. At once Christie became part of the problem no less than part of the solution. From where I sit you simply can't put public policy differences with an opponent on the same level as actual insurrection and lawlessness, in service to the personal interests of one narcissistic individual who would destroy the nation -- even the world -- just to get what is good for him.

If Christie cannot see that and is too hyperpartisan to reach across the aisle in such a grave circumstance, he does not belong on the stage to begin with. We continue to wait for a consistent voice of reason on the political right.

Today is my birthday. I can think of no better gift than Donald Trump being arraigned on 37 felony counts.
