Christie is sending his sons off to sign up to go to war with the billion plus people that live in China, because, freedumb, right?
Fat Guy Flailing.
Ya know, these GOP candidates are wearing me out. The total stupid derp that comes out of these folks is so voluminous and unrelenting that it would seem that any prudent person would conclude that none of them would ever be president. And then I consider the nation in which I live. Sigh.
FFS give it up willya’ Gov?
Nobody is going to vote for you except Mary Pat and various grifters.

So Christie would do … exactly what’s being done. He’d just talk louder, with more in-your-face bluster. Because that’s how the US President should roll.
A desperate bid for attention. The flop sweat is rank on Chris Christie.
As others have pointed out, each of these candidates are trying to differentiate themselves but they’re all saying the same thing: “If I’m president, it’s military confrontation time with China, Russia, ISIS.” They’re just promising more war, not only knowing damn well they don’t actually mean it, but never being called on the carpet for it by their supporters. This is supremely irritating.
Bullies gotta bully, especially fat, insecure, desperate ones. The notion that the U.S. is “the boss” of the world is the direct cause of many of our costly entanglements. This whole “war first” mentality is BS.
P.S. TPM, when is the commenting system going to be fixed??? Arrrrrrggggghhhh!!
That was my very first thought. Offer to send these kids instead of someone else’s. They’d look swell in uniforms, better than he did at any rate.

The first time he was told to go the “sit room”, he’d find somewhere to do that, just sit and relax.
“Mr. President, I’m not saying we wouldn’t get our hair mussed. But I do say no more than ten to twenty million killed, tops. Uh, depending on the breaks.”

Um, uh, cough, er…ah, Governor? I’m pretty sure iPads are made in China, just sayin’.
Governor Soprano rattles his tiny, tiny sword.
We already are taking a military approach, as noted in the AP story: “The U.S. military has begun actively — and more publicly — challenging
China’s sovereignty claims over the half a dozen artificial islands
Beijing has been rapidly constructing.”
Gop/bags and their hard-ons for war, war, war!
You know, he probably thought he looked good in the uniform. probably still does.
At least he knew to pass on pinstripes because they’d make him look fat.
Your kids first fat-ass!
