CBS News: Democrats Believe ‘Bridge-Gate’ Could Sink Chris Christie’s Political Future

‘Bridge-Gate’: CBS News Digs Into Scandal ‘National Democrats’ Think Might Sink Christie (Mediaite)

On Thursday, CBS News’ This Morning delved into the appearance of scandal surrounding the closure of two lanes of the George Washington Bridge, a span linking the New Jersey city of Fort Lee with New York City, in September. The allegations are that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie ordered the closure of two lanes of that bridge in order to punish Fort Lee’s Democratic mayor who had earlier refused to endorse the governor’s reelection bid.

CBS News could not help, however, but focus a significant portion of the story on how “national Democrats” think this controversy can help them diminish the stature of the outspoken Republican politician who polls show may be able to defeat even Hillary Clinton in a national presidential election.
