Here's what I want to see happen: Christie trailing in the polls during the Republican primary debates.

Here's what I don't want to see happen: Christie going medieval on the front runners in a desperate attempt to get a ratings boost.

Whoever the Republican winner is - and I don't think it will be Christie - we all need to have Christie be on board as a loyal party member.

In 2008, Hilary took a knee and kissed Obama's ring. Obama won the general election. In 2016, Christie has to take a knee and kiss Cruz's (or somebody's) ring. There has to be harmony because the Democrats learned to our cost that party disunity can lose national elections.

To keep Christie in line, everybody - including Cruz - on the runup to the Republican convention needs to act like [bleep] gentlemen. And that includes being nice to the [bleep] from New Jersey.
