We have a man who is unafraid.

It seems Christie isn’t the only one who got a savaging from the Clinton camp on Tuesday night.
As the crowd shouted “guilty” as Christie presented each allegation, others burst out in cries of “lock her up”.
“I’m here to tell you Hillary Clinton will say anything, be anything, and do anything to be president, and we can’t allow it…”
That left the prime-time hours for speeches, and the combined forces of the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee managed to fill the slate, if only in the final days before showtime.
He claimed Clinton as Secretary of State emboldened Al Qaeda in Nigeria and failed to block terrorists from gaining ground in Libya.
Her nuclear deal with Iran?
The audience bellowed “Guilty” after Christie listed every “indictment”. “Guilty”, the crowd cheered.
After a warm opening in which he declared himself once again to be “Donald Trump’s friend for the last 14 years”, Christie proceeded to assail Clinton’s “dismal record” as secretary of state.
“She never fights for us”, Christie continued.
“You take them from the political appointee side into the civil service side, in order to try to set up. roadblocks for your successor”, he said during a closed-door meeting with donors at the GOP convention on Tuesday. In 2012, Republican nominee Mitt Romney jumped by about 5 percentage points in the Reuters/Ipsos poll following the Republican convention.
Polling was under way on Tuesday at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland to officially nominate Trump as the party’s candidate for the November 8 presidential election.
Christie has consistently been criticized – and mocked – for his decision to back Trump and his ardent support of the candidate.
After Trump was officially nominated, Clinton tweeted: “Donald Trump just became the Republican nominee”. There were no big missteps Tuesday, but the event was void of the glitzy, Hollywood touch Trump promised, with a series of Republican officials parading on stage to level sharp, but repetitive, criticisms of Clinton.
“Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night and decided they’d go kill some Americans”, Clinton said.
Fortunately, the next speaker was Tiffany Trump, who reassured us that her father had written encouraging messages on her report cards when she was young, so, I guess, that was good.
It might be said that Christie was auditioning rather shamelessly for the job of attorney general in a Trump administration, having fallen short of being Trump’s running mate.
“I was just very honored to be able to represent the rest of our New Jersey delegation”.
“To be honest, I was surprised to be invited”, said Dana White, the founder and chief of the Ultimate Fighting Contest.
Democrat Hillary Clinton pounced on the tumult, saying the Republican gathering had so far been “surreal”, comparing it to the classic fantasy film “Wizard of Oz”.

Day said she does want to someday see a woman in the White House, but “not that woman, not Hillary Clinton, not today, not now, not ever”.
