Chris Christie atteint le fond du baril

Le Gouverneur du New Jersey a déjà été considéré comme une étoile au sein de sa formation politique, mais la dernière année a été particulièrement difficile pour lui. Appuyer aussi vigoureusement Donald Trump n'a assurément pas contribué à le relancer.

 "“I think Chris Christie has destroyed the Republican Party in New Jersey for a generation,” said Seton Hall political science professor Matt Hale, who said that the governor’s hard-right turn on policy to run for president also hurt New Jersey Republicans.

In the process, Christie may also have destroyed his own political currency.

Christie’s approval rating, once near 80 percent, now stands at a dismal 21, threatening to taint the already-disadvantaged Republicans who have just begun ramping up their campaign efforts to prepare for a post-Christie world."
