8 Reasons Why Chris Christie's Traffic Scandal Could Cause Big Trouble: 4) Everybody hates traffic.
Traffic is pretty much the Nickelback of everyone’s daily routine. No sane person enjoys it. And the only thing worse than traffic is the idiot who causes it for no good reason.
Traffic is not a partisan or ideological issue, which makes TrafficGate a real problem for a pol who’s done his best to pitch himself as a common-sense, just-get-things-done politician who’s above petty partisan squabbling. Allowing your staff to create massive traffic problems just to get revenge against an irrelevant local lawmaker who most people have never heard of is not a great way to burnish your post-partisan street cred.
