Really ?
“His remarks on the Senate drew laughs from the audience.”
“But Deborah Gregory, president of the NAACP’s Newark chapter, was one of
a number of NAACP officials unhappy with the governor’s presence. The
Star-Ledger reports that Gregory stood outside the venue on Saturday
protesting Christie’s appearance. She told the paper that the governor
did not deserve to be invited.”
He seems a little too bouyant about not being too bouyant.
He gets to bathe in self-adoration while pretending to be self-aware. How could he not be buoyant?

“I mean I’ll never run for public office in New Jersey again.” Yuck. It’s like getting a teasing come-on from a person you find repellent.

The subtext of his message is that he cannot compromise, he does not work well with others, is impatient, and cannot dig into the details to do the hard work of legislation. In short, he’s a bully.

“Believe me, by the way, when I say ‘I’m never running for public office in New Jersey again,’” Christie said. “I mean I’ll never run for public office in New Jersey again.”
I’m sure the people of New Jersey are relieved.

Wish granted.

Fundamentally, the power that one can amass in the senate comes over time - & from playing along - and it is rare that it can be wielded unilaterally for pure personal political gain - which would make CC go out of his mind He does not have patience & has no interest in being subtle about how he shoves people around - - he is in his element in the executive position where he & he alone - can award large government contracts and appointments - strategically - to individual & organizations that will then be indebted to him.

I think the Governor speaks for a lot of New Jerseyans.
That’s one of them. The other important subtext is Congress = bad, Christie = good. And let’s face it, it would be much easier for any candidate, including him, to run against Congress than it would be to run against Hilary.
