Christie drops a truth bomb on his three debate partners, GOP voters, and the American electorate. The moderators don't ask for responses or follow-ups. This is a master class on how to rig the game. The fix is effing in.

Strident advocates of using the American military to respond to a PRC attack on Taiwan justify American involvement as a defense of democracy. It doesn't occur to them that their preferred 2024 candidate intends to destroy American democracy from within.
