What’s the difference between Trump primary challenger Chris Christie and foreign policy maven Jake Sullivan? Answer: One is working to forestall a geopolitical disaster that would inch our world a step closer to Armageddon and throw an entire geographical region into chaos, and the other is Joe Biden’s national security adviser.
But they have a lot in common, too, other than being guests this week on multiple Sunday shows. Christie is still trying to rouse the GOP’s long-quiescent conscience in order to keep Donald Trump, who incited an insurrection against the legitimate government of the U.S. before brazenly stealing some of its most highly sensitive documents, out of the White House. And Sullivan is advising President Biden on the fraught situation in Gaza. Both are heavy lifts, but if you’re a betting person, bringing stability to the Middle East seems a lot more likely than restoring normalcy to the Republican Party. But best of luck to them both. Truly.
