    Re “Standing With Trump, Christie Is Ridiculed” (news article, March 3):

    The Internet, the public and political pundits have had a field day trashing Gov. Chris Christie for his puppy dog adoration of Donald Trump during Mr. Trump’s Super Tuesday speech. He deserves to be ridiculed—the bully sucking up to the bully. It was pathetic. It was embarrassing. It was hard to watch.

    But what cannot be ignored is that Mr. Christie’s demeaning posturing is signaling the beginning of a Trump bandwagon. Scary, yes, but inescapable. Mr. Christie isn’t stupid; he knew he would be bashed for saddling up to the Republican front-runner, but he wants a seat in that Trump cabinet. And if he is good at anything, it’s knowing how to seize an opportunity, even if his ambitions force him to sit on Mr. Trump’s lap and do his bidding.

    Note from KBJ: Count the metaphors:

    1. field day
    2. trashing
    3. puppy dog adoration
    4. bully
    5. sucking up
    6. posturing
    7. bandwagon
    8. bashed
    9. saddling up
    10. seat
    11. cabinet
    12. sit on Mr. Trump's lap
    13. do his bidding

    The mind reels. Peter C. Alkalay may be the worst writer in the history of Western Civilization.

  • Jonah Goldberg has still not gotten right with Donald. It's funny to see these establishment types squirm and whine.

    Addendum: Alex Castellanos has gotten right with Donald.

    I find for the first time that I agree completely with Marco Rubio. Donald Trump is a very good con artist. That so many people hear something they can support in the ridiculous claims and hateful things he says, and can actually imagine him as our president, is remarkable. And very, very disturbing.
