And I must admit, the New Jersey Governor is slimming down nicely.
Trying to display a softer and cooler side, Christie took to the stage with some funny dance moves gearing up for a 2016 presidential run.
Fallon made a jab about the Bridgegate scandal in Thursday’s ‘Evolution of Dad Dancing’ skit, and the two discussed a ‘hypothetical’ run against Hillary Clinton in 2016. Christie said he could beat Hilary Clinton in a presidential run. I don’t think so, what do you think?
The embattled New Jersey Governor is so relived to know that he has been exonerated for any involvement in the bridgegate scandal.
So this simply means two things people: his two staffers who were the closest to him (Bridget Kelly and Bill Stephien) will be the fall guys for the governor just as they’ve protected his directives to keep him out of involvement on a paper and electronic trail. So now Chris Christie believes he’s all set to proceed with a 2016 presidential run.
Christie stated in a recent interview with Dianne Sawyer’s that “In his opinion voters still have a lot of respect for him – especially in Iowa” where the first Republican presidential primary will be held in 2016.
I think Chris Christie is tripping on his pride and floating off his ego, if he thinks he will be the republication nomination in 2016.
As a matter of fact, I think the REPUBLICANS ARE DONE!!!! With a defiant congress and a full republican senate, who are out of touch with struggling American people, who are 3.1 million strong unemployed, Chris Christie’s party don’t have a chance.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie held his first town hall meeting since he’s faced intense national scrutiny over what Democrats say were politically motivated lane closures on the George Washington Bridge.
The famous governor held his first town hall since the bridge gate scandal in Middletown, New Jersey where 95 percent of his audience were Caucasian.
But my question is this, why won’t Chris Christie hold a town hall meeting in the hoods of Camden county, Newark New Jersey or any other urban areas throughout the state? He always seem to frequent these areas where he won’t be challenged.
Case and point, one woman sitting at the front of the bleachers came with a message for Christie, typed in capital letters on a piece of white computer paper: “Resign Christie.”
Isabel Newson, 48, (pictured below) of Keansburg, NJ said members of Christie’s staff told her twice that if she “didn’t remove the sign,” she’d “have to leave.” Both times, Newson said, she refused, and the staffers took the sign out of her hands.
While no one at the town hall asked Gov. Christie about the bridge gate scandal, I’m sure they were told what questions would be permissible. In the meantime the Republican governor mostly field questions and dialogue about the state’s recovery from Sandy.
I think Christie knows if he came to the hood he would not only be heckled the way he was in Times Square but the great citizens of the state of New Jersey would not ignore the scandal currently rocking his administration.
New Jersey is hosting the big super bowl game tomorrow and it is only proper to invite New Jersey’s governor to be in the midst of the festivities but….he was BOOED when he was introduced in Times Square.
The once-immensely popular Christie, has lost his glow to scandal, as he sat stone-faced and was razzed in Times Square for a typically upbeat Super Bowl event.
“You made it across the bridge?” howled one heckler as the problem-plagued Christie — in a navy Windbreaker and black scarf — sat impassively on the stage at Broadway and W. 43rd St.
One day after allegations that a lying Chris Christie knew about the Bridgegate scandal as it happened, the governor sat uncomfortably in the spotlight on the eve of the Super Bowl.
Poor thing!
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is knee-deep in allegations as his vindictive policies of politics continue to grow against him.
Added to the latest list of scandalous behavior is that the petty NJ Governor enacted political revenge after his administration shut down the DMV office in a large New Jersey city three years ago. Democratic politicians say it was because they opposed his tax policies and worked for his political opponent, John Corzine.
New Jersey state Assemblyman Joe Cryan told a media source, Chris Christie shut down the fourth-largest Motor Vehicle Commission office in Elizabeth, New Jersey as revenge.
‘He shut it down, plain and simple, and of course this was political,’ Cryan said. ‘This was complete retribution. … There was no other possible explanation for it.’
Cryan who was former Gov. John Corzine’s state Democratic chairman, when he ran for re-election in 2009 unsuccessfully against Christie concluded, “Closing the motor vehicle bureau in Elizabeth was a way for Christie to crush three political adversaries with a single stroke of his pen”.
Elizabeth’s longtime mayor, Chris Bollwage, got under Chris Christie’s skin soon after he took Corzine’s job, joining Cryan to publicly oppose what they called a ‘flawed’ plan to cap the rate of annual property tax increases in New Jersey. So to get back at the Elizabeth mayor, Christie closed down one of the busiest DMV offices in his city and now taxpayers in the region have to trek it to other cities to get their plates or licenses renewed, and politicians say the wait times have doubled.
Christie and his insiders are used to getting their way no matter what the consequence are to constituents and families, which is why his alleged innocence in this huge bridgegate scandal is hard to believe.
Looks like Christie’s prospects of a 2016 presidential run are dimmered each week as every political adversary he’s ever had, is coming out of the woodwork in record numbers.
