Chris Christie Roasted By Critics After Predicting ‘Monumental Defeat’ For Republicans

As the Democrats embrace socialism, if not outright communism, ahead of the midterms, two-time failed GOP presidential candidate Chris Christie thinks it’s the Republican Party with the problem.

Although he would know something about a “monumental defeat,” the former New Jersey governor, who left office with among the lowest approval ratings in recent memory, recently offered a pessimistic outlook for the GOP this November.

According to The Hill:

The assessment came after comedian Hasan Minhaj asked Christie if GOP voters “want the truth,” referring to the former governor’s critiques of President Trump during the 2024 presidential campaign and in the years since.

“Probably not a majority of them right now,” he responded. “But you know what forces people to have to listen to the truth? Losing.”

He argued that a substantial blow in November might prompt Republicans to look inward and reassess the party’s future direction.

“I think we’re on our way to a monumental defeat as a party in the 2026 midterms, and when that happens, I think people, for practical reasons, will begin to reevaluate whether they really want to continue to hear the things that led to the losing or they want to hear some different ideas,” Christie said.

His defeatist rhetoric attracted some social media jeers:

If he predicted it, we’ll be good.

Mediaite added some context:

In May, Christie called out the Republican Party as having “no principles left” during an interview at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, and slammed Congressional Republicans as “lemmings” who were too timid to call out the president.

He also slammed Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) as a “vacant human being.”

“This is a man who only cares about his title. Nothing else. Absolutely nothing else. He is a vapid, vacant human being,” he said during the interview at Harvard.
