New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie has had his fans who love his confrontational attitude toward constituents, voters, and anyone in the media who dares to challenge him on policy or statements.
Christie comes across as arrogant and egotistical, and has done great harm to the pension system of New Jersey.
He has refused to consider medical marijuana to be available to cancer patients and those with major seizure issues.
He has misused aid from the federal government for damages done by Hurricane Sandy, with many areas not moving toward rebuilding.
He has billed the state massive amounts for food and drink when he is at sports events, rather than pay it out of pocket.
He has been under a shadow regarding the closing of lanes to the George Washington Bridge in Fort Lee, New Jersey, with aides now coming up for trial, but Christie claiming he knew nothing about the blockage.
Basically, Chris Christie thinks he should be considered as a serious candidate for the Republican Presidential race, but yet he has slipped dramatically in the polls, even in New Hampshire.
He may come across as somewhat more moderate than many other Republican contenders, but he could face criminal indictment or having to testify in a trial in the next year, and therefore, that will effectively end any chance that he will be able to survive the caucuses and primaries.
The man’s personality is the wrong one for the Presidency, as with his mouth alone, he could start a war, due to his inability to control his anger and emotions, too often displayed to be uncouth!
Chris Christie needs his comeuppance, and that is likely to happen very soon, eliminating him as a serious contender for the Presidency!
Yes, confrontational is not good for the Presidency. It’s like saying to your constituency about your opponents “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun”, “Republicans are our enemies”, “Hit back twice as hard”, “Punish your enemies (Republicans)”, “Get ready for hand to hand combat with your fellow Americans”, and “Don’t think we are not keeping score brother?”/
