The problem with all of this, at the moment, is that Mr. Christie is polling below the average of 2.5 percent in four recent polls that was required to make the main stage at the debate, hosted by Fox Business News.
Rick Santorum – When the former Pennsylvania GOP Senator wasn’t partying like it was 1995, he was shouting in the microphone likely causing permanent hearing damage to a few poor tech guy.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) upped the ante by implicitly insulting the Black Lives Matter movement while dissing Democrats.
“The Chinese don’t take us seriously” under Barack Obama, he said, before making it clear that would change if he were elected.

CHRISTIE: Yeah, listen. We stopped Obamacare in New Jersey because we refused to participate in the federal exchange.
“Are we going to open the door so that ISIS people will come in and we’ll give them a place to stay and medical benefits?” “A liberal is not one of them”, said Christie. Goldford also suggested Jindal’s attacks on Christie, as well as Huckabee, didn’t play well with the audience. “And by the way, it’ll be even worse because Hillary Clinton is running so far to the left to try to catch up to her socialist opponent Bernie Sanders, it’s hard to even see her anymore”.
Christie, showing an uncharacteristic discipline in the face of annoyance, repeatedly said he was more interested in beating Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton than in battling with Jindal.
Jindal attacked Christie’s budgets and the size of his government. When Huckabee said he had lowered spending, Jindal shot back, “Your record as governor tells a different story”, noting that during Huckabee’s tenure, spending in Arkansas increased by 65 percent and taxes went up by 45 percent.
Whether people on social media picked up on Jindal’s cues to the conservative base or not, they seemed highly entertained by Jindal’s attempt to compare Christie to a Little League kid getting a participation trophy. “You want someone who can win … with a conservative message?”

Angelo said Santorum previously emphasized socially conservative issues and has now switched to economic issues. “And, she was stopped then by a strong group of republicans, and an American public that said, ‘No, thank you, ‘” said Mr. Christie, who is the Governor of New Jersey that has a significant Indian-American population.
