I mean, this is hand-to-hand combat every day”, Christie told Lauer in an exclusive interview “And it’s a Democratic legislature who’s fighting you all the time, who you have to learn how to bring in and to craft compromise.

Across social media the Governor of New Jersey has experienced many jokes about his overweight appearance, and most are tying it to whether or not he has enough merit to run for President of the Unites States.

The email also emphasised the personal side of his bid for the GOP nomination, asserting that Christie’s decision to launch his effort from his old high school “allows the American people to meet the “Chris” everyone from Livingston knows”.
