Just when you thought this election cycle couldn't get any more strange. The universe is apparently shouting: 'Hold my beer!' That's right, kids: with only 42 days until the midterms, Chris Christie is reportedly leaving the door open to a 2028 presidential run, saying his decision could hinge on how Republicans perform in November's midterms.

This writer is unsure as to his motivation, but one thing is clear: X thinks this would be a train wreck waiting to happen.
He should. I want to watch everyone make fun of him again.

It's fun to watch the Left scramble to find a relevant candidate, but never forget, dear reader, we have our own crop of has-beens too.
He is the Kamala Harris of the Republican Party - we don’t want him - they don’t want him…dude is delusional.

In his defense, Christie says if he runs, he plans to try to steer the Republican Party back to what it once was. Whatever that means.
The only run Chris Christie is going to make is after the ice cream man

He'd make a convincing Kool-Aid Man.

It would probably go a little like this:
This writer is by no means telling the former governor not to run; in fact, a bit of plucky comic relief that likely wouldn't survive the first debate might be called for.
While we're on the subject, dear reader, never let anyone convince you that your vote doesn't matter. As we head toward the midterms and whatever comes after, remember: the choice belongs to you.
There will always be politicians, pundits, and people in power eager to tell you what to think, how to feel, or why your voice doesn't count. Don't surrender that decision to anyone. It's yours.
