CNN "sizes up" Christie?

I don't think he's a strong candidate, but you never know in 2024, with Biden in his 80's and an unstable group of Republicans.

He can get nasty which people will, likely correctly, intuit to be related to his obesity. And his record in New Jersey won't be popular. He is pro immigrant and has at least has made some anti-gun statements. I can't see him showing up in military towns and generating much excitement. His big selling point is forcing state workers to accept less money, which isn't a popular issue nationally.

 

Exactly. Christie has no chance in the republican primary

 

Wrong analogy, try the Weimar Republic and Adolf Hitler.

 

While Christie has no chance of winning the Republican nomination attacks on Trump from him and probably Asa Hutchinson during the Republican primary campaign could sway Republican leaning independents and unaffiliated voters come the general election. Interestingly, both Christie and Hutchinson are both former US Attorneys who actually prosecuted criminals although admittedly he did play fast and loose with the law as governor of New Jersey, bridgegate coming immediately to mind.

 

He put Jared Kushner's dad in jail.

 

Which supposedly is the reason why he wasn't appointed to a position in the Trump Administration. Jared apparently vetoed any possibility of a Christie appointment.

He is the attack dog for sure. A bunch of truth bombs, but doesn’t have the audience laughing with quips, so no chance.

 

On the other hand, Christie is somewhat sane.

 

Chris Christie booed for criticizing Trump at conservative conference

Christie booed at a faith and freedom conference for criticizing Trump. I’ll give him credit for sticking to the message.

Christie has a lot of baggage but I give him credit in his message and communication skills and having the balls to do what he is doing.

 

Christie criticized Trump? You know what that means ... Yep

Sean Hannity says Chris Christie has gone “full-on – you know, woke”

just shows how badly the Republican Party has gone off tilt. 10+ years ago some thought he may be the favorite to win the Republican nonoknation. Now he is booed laughed at and considered woke.

 

The “faith conferences” have not looked to good the past decade. Never show folks behind the curtain.
