“I’m sorry, NH but I gotta go home – we got snow coming”, he said.

“We’ll see how conditions look like after the day tomorrow”.
“When you start looking for another job, your current employer gets a little miffed, and that’s what’s happened here in New Jersey”, Christie told CNN’s Jake Tapper Sunday on “State of the Union”. “Cape May County experienced some of the most severe flooding, with high tide levels above those we saw during Superstorm Sandy, and will undoubtedly need assistance to expedite recovery and help reduce the financial burden these kinds of weather events place on local governments as well as residents”.
“We dodged a bit of a bullet”, the governor said, emphasizing that coastal flooding remains a threat Saturday afternoon.
“Your vote needs to be more than an expression of anger”, Christie said.
He should leave New Jersey’s to Christie.
During MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”, The Huffington Post’s Sam Stein asked the Republican presidential candidate to respond to the “critics who say why did you go back up to New Hampshire so quickly”.
Earlier Friday, Christie told reporters in New Hampshire that he spoke with his Cabinet on Thursday about the approaching storm and said he was monitoring the situation.
Christie is among five candidates closely locked right now in a race to finish second to GOP front-runner Donald Trump in the New Hampshire primary, which is scheduled for February 9.
Still, Christie said New Jersey’s readiness for this weekend’s blizzard shows his ability to manage during crises.
The governor said he had been clear several times over the week that he was monitoring the storm and leaving open the possibility of returning if needed, and he called reports to the contrary “wholly inaccurate”.
Crumbling roads an falling bridges will apparently have to wait until Donald Trump thoroughly steamrolls over New Jersey’s absentee chief executive.
New Jersey is one of nine states that has declared a state of emergency because of the storm. Last year, he was not in New Jersey for 261 days, or 72 percent of the time, including short trips to nearby NY and Pennsylvania for media appearances.
As for Christie, “clearly there are going to be some people in the crowd who are upset”, Grabowski says.
