We can still see wishful thinking about conservatives. For example, it was claimed by the Christie administration that the Federal audit on the Sandy relief money was "just routine", that they do this all the time. That statement is false. The fact that they are looking into it suggests that already have reasonable suspicions of improper behavior. It still amazes that some people believe that Christie can live this down, hold onto his job, and run for president. Christie's career in politics is over.
