Some say Christie’s gone too much to govern New Jersey

Christie, in contrast, boasted that he was the only presidential candidate to use the law in his state.

Chris Christie will take front-runner status.

Over the past year and a half, different elements have pummeled his image in and out of his home state. “If we want to stop him, we’ll need your buy-in right now”. Train them. and it’s their fight.

During his CBS appearance, Christie said that despite Donald Trump’s rise to almost the top of the polls in New Hampshire, he won’t ultimately have any effect on the 2016 GOP race for president. “Governors Bobby Jindal of Louisiana and Scott Walker of Wisconsin are in similar situations”.

“The largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world is moving toward a nuclear weapon with the permission of the United States”, Christie said. Several of his staffers also have followed him to the presidential campaign, including his ex- communications deputy, Maria Comella.

Later, asked by CBS if he was attempting to scare Americans, Christie said: “No, I’m trying to tell them the truth as opposed to what Senator Lee is doing”. Actually, no. One of the three was led by a handpicked Christie loyalist, and his “investigation” was widely dismissed as an embarrassing joke.

In May, MSNBC reported that a woman at a Granite State town-hall event said that she was “horrified” when she heard about the scandal. Christie had utilized federal aid for Sandy relief to make a feel-good, promotional video about his commitment to fix hurricane damage that was broadcast repeatedly statewide, coincidentally, during the last weeks of his 2013 reelection campaign.

“It ain’t easy. I got exhausted”. Christie is well aware of this fact, and he has attributed it in an interview with Fox News’ Megyn Kelly to the notion that “a lot of those people… want me to stay” as governor. And when I’m exhausted, I make mistakes. “But I know what he did with his positions after he made them, and he used them to raise money off the Internet”.

JS: Are you more humble? “I was exhausted of it”. He is hoping despite his anemic poll numbers to ride his blunt-talking style from Trenton to the White House. “A few years back, he was shaking things up”, said Brown, 43. But many Republicans were less understanding when, days before the 2012 election, Christie locked arms with President Barack Obama during a visit to New Jersey to survey Sandy damage. But not every GOP official is on board. The perception of how well he has done his job has also significantly declined. Chris Christie – bully, truth-speaker, authentic Springsteen-wanking road-thunderer – will be Jersey and authentic and real until he dies, still Trumpily counting out c-notes from fans who assume that America went wrong when, for some reason, the market did not choose him. At least two more Republican governors are expected to toss their hats into the ring.
