This lie’s got legs
John Gotti’s got nothing on New Jersey Governor Chris Christie as far as teflon is concerned. It’s a full year after “bridge-gate” and Christie hasn’t lost any of his popularity with enemies of union thugs and big government.
In fact other politicians looking at Christie’s blame the unions approach to public policy probably now see the tactic for what it is – a winner. That’s because Christie’s pitch is simple. “It’s all their fault and you’re getting hosed!” The anti-union busting argument is more complicated. It’s always easier to enrage and divide than to educate and connect but we better get going getting the real truth out to the public.
