Chris Christie sees the train coming his way. Or at least his party's way.

And unless something happens soon - like by late spring or early summer:

".... The train going in the direction of running over my party will not be able to be stopped."

The former governor made his gloomy assessment about the state of the Republican Party as the midterms loom in a Thursday morning appearance on MS NOW, or perhaps - on this day - MS NJ.

That's because Mikie Sherrill appeared on the network a few minutes after Christie.

Christie said the GOP's problem is obvious Donald Trump has not produced a good economy, and more recently, has not made a persuadable case for the war in Iran.

Christie did give the president some credit, saying that in his address Wednesday night, he at least tried to do that.

Of more political relevance, of course, was Christie's take on the midterms.

Republicans now hold three seats in the House in New Jersey, and two of the incumbents - Tom Kean Jr. and Jeff Van Drew - may be in trouble.

There also is the special April 16 election to fill Sherrill's House seat in CD-11 where Republican Joe Hathaway, who worked in Christie's Administration, is running against Analilia Mejia. Dems, so far, are ahead in the mail-in ballot count by more than 3-1.

Sherrill popped up on TV after Christie.

A recent FDU poll put her approval rating at 58 percent, which in a very polarized environment, ain't bad.

Sherrill stressed her commitment to lowering costs, but said:

"At every turn, the president is raising costs."

She referred to tariffs and the recent surge in gas prices because of the Iran war.

"The people of New Jersey are getting angry," she said. "It doesn't take much."

The governor was also asked about ICE, and that allowed her to strike a bipartisan note.

She said that both the state and Roxbury, a Republican-run town, have joined together to fight a proposed ICE detention center in the township.
