Chris Christie was first to drop out in 2016 race, to endorse Trump. They had secret deal that CC will become Trump's Veep
That was scuttled by Manafort (Putin paid Manafort salary). Manafort (=Putin) demanded Trump take Pence instead. Trump had not even INTERVIEWED PENCE
Trump HATED Pence, hates to this day. When Pence came to NY with his wife to the big announcement that he will be Trump's VP, biggest day in Pence's career, Trump did not even take them to dinner! Pences had to eat at some Denny's or similar restaurant
But what was in it for Chris Christie?
Chris is quite sharp as a politician. CC saw, early in 2016, that Trump will win the GOP nomination. And EVERYBODY was sure Trump would lose to Hillary
Chris wanted to be Veep, so he would INHERIT the front-runner slot
Chris Christie has played the Maga base by making sure everybody knows CC was loyal to Trump and helped him in debate prep 2020 etc. But Chris ALSO was regularly critical of Trump, to prepare for the time AFTER Trump
CC is planning a run for President

Why do I say Ted Cruz is the CLEAR front-runner for the first GOP nomination race after Trump (I assume Trump runs in 2024 of course, so I mean in 2028)
Do not think about this RATIONALLY like a Democrat
Think Maga

Some fear the Department of Justice (DOJ) is not going to prosecute Trumpomobsters, in particular January 6th seditionists. Some think Attorney General Merrick Garland is protecting Trump and his criminal gang
That is madness
Let's do this once & for all
The Garland Thread 2/
The US Department of Justice has 113,000 employees of which more than 10,000 are attorneys. It is BY FAR the largest law firm on the planet. Five times larger than largest private law firm of America
They are all PROSECUTORS
They ENFORCE THE THE LAW
The Garland Thread 3/
These are not DEFENSE attorneys who try to get criminals off on technicalities
These are not CONTRACT lawyers who try to find wiggle room in a contract to screw a partner
These are career professionals who want to ENFORCE THE LAW
The FBI raided Giuliani's office in April 2021. Took 18 devices. The Special Master read all 28,000 files, kept only a handful protected as 'client-attorney privilege' while handing rest to federal prosecutors
I am CERTAIN Rudy will be arrested
Giuliani Pending Arrest Thread 2/
Who am I to say? I am a professional forecaster (in the tech & media industries, have written 12 bestselling books etc)
I am also one of most accurate forecasters in politics for more than a decade here on Twitter. I have a track record.. :-)
Giuliani Pending Arrest Thread 3/
No forecaster can get every forecast correctly. That is impossible in the forecasting business. We try to be more right than wrong
But sometimes we KNOW something will happen (like say Nokia will collapse in 2011 or Trump will lose in 2020)..
And... (will add comments into Thread) RT @PalmerReport
GOP Party players such as Mike Pence & Federalist Society have now decided to throw Trump under the bus, even as Trump retains control of the RNC through his puppet Ronna McDaniel. That means is a civil war within GOP.
Any midterm-election for the party that takes White House is a bad election year. So 2010 for Dems (Obama), 2018 for GOP (Trump) and 2022 for Dems (Biden)
If the GOP now mess up their chances by deciding to have a civil war - that HELPS US in a TOUGH YEAR
SECOND COMMENT
The civil war will not END this year 2022. Trump will still control enough of GOP into 2024, he can be the 2024 nominee if he wants. And the more he becomes pissed off about the party turning against Trump, the more he WANTS to run in 2024
