I agree. Christie is a powerful guy. He wasn't given enough credit for battling the public employee unions which is a major issue going forward. I didn't like him for the same reasons I don't like trump - supports NSA spying. But Christie is more good then bad. I think.Yeah thats what i liked about him, he went to battle with the unions in an unscripted environment and stood toe to toe with them time and time again, the guy was probably the best debater/speaker out of all of them, its too bad he never had a chance to begin with.
And for all the bullshit that liberals preach about tolerance, they sure as fuck loved to tee off on him over his weight.
