Chris Christie is in damage control mode.
The New Jersey governor – presently involved in multiple sandals involving the closing of lanes on the George Washington Bridge and political retribution using federal Sandy relief funds – was apparently told that staying out of the spotlight and allowing the scandals to fester would harm his 2016 presidential prospects. So he began a comedy routine to take people’s mind off the damages caused by his administration.
He made a scheduled stop at the Jimmy Falcon show last night and felt the need to dance. Things must be great in the Christie camp!
After an awkward dance off, Chris Christie was asked questions regarding the Republican Party. Topics included Eric Cantor, leadership in the party, and a question about whether he could win if he went up against Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Conversation went something like this with Fallon asking a hypothetical.
“Hypothetically, you run for president. Hypothetically, Hillary Clinton runs for president. Hypothetically, do you think you can beat her?”
“Hypothetically? You bet,” Christie said.
“In a dance-off,” Fallon responded.
“That’s what I was talking about,” Christie said. “What were you talking about?”
