The New Jersey governor lambasted the idea Wednesday that the subject should even be broached in the third presidential debate, after former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush raised the possibility of regulating fantasy football more like gambling or stock trading.

“You know, I see a Socialist, an Isolationist, and a Pessimist, and for the sake of me I can’t figure out which one is which”, Christie joked.
“While Bush said daily fantasy sites may be ripe for government regulation, Christie said the government should stay out of it”.
“We work with the private sector to make energy affordable to individuals and businesses in our state”, he said.
“We’re talking about fantasy football? Who cares?” he added.
Amid his outburst, however, Christie, may forgotten an email his own campaign sent supporters just weeks ago, equating the 2016 presidential race with fantasy football. Christie exclaimed as the audience roared.
Christie replied, “We don’t do what John Kerry, and Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama want to do, which their solution to everything”.
“What we should do is invest in all types of energy, John”. Mr. Christie barked, interrupting the CNBC moderators.

“I think this has become something that should be looked at in terms of regulations”, Mr. Bush said. Because I got to tell you the truth: “Even in New Jersey, what you are doing is called rude”, the governor declared. “We’ve laid out a national energy plan”.
