Copyrighted Image? DMCA | Chris Christie gave a speech in which he tried to position himself as a tough-minded fiscal realist. In fact, however, his supposedly tough-minded policy idea was a classic zombie -- an idea that should have died long ago in the face of evidence that undermines its basic premise, but somehow just keeps shambling along. But let us not be too harsh on Mr. Christie. A deep attachment to long-refuted ideas seems to be required of all prominent Republicans. Whoever finally gets the nomination for 2016 will have multiple zombies as his running mates. |
