What Went Down At The ABC Republican Debate

I think Chris Christie listened to some Springsteen before this debate tonight — he is pumped up! He opened a screed against Rubio, bringing up the Florida Senator’s much-talked-about supposed absenteeism in the Senate: ”That’s not leadership, that’s truancy,” Christie said. Rubio fired back, talking about New Jersey’s downgraded credit rating under Christie, and then Christie comes back with: “I want the people at home to think about this. This is what Washington, D.C., does—the drive-by shot at the beginning with incorrect and incomplete information and then the memorized 25-second speech that is exactly what his advisers gave him.” Wooh!
