People want someone likeable and these guys come across as bullying jerks. I wonder who the Koch Brothers will choose.

...shown in insults is amazing.

So many other reasons to reject Christie.


I'm left scratching my head, wondering, "Is that really the best you could do?".

Maybe the jurors who voted to leave it thought it was okay because he's a Republican?

He's a loudmouth and corrupt and often thuggish. Why can't we say things like that?

8. #1 Christie is a yankee

The republican party is the party of Dixie now and a yankee is suspicious

#2 Christie has not said anything that is truly racist. If he does not sound the racism dog whistle then it hurts him.

#3 Christie has not done anything to repeal gun laws in NJ and that is huge because besides Dixie, the GOP is the party of the armed anti gov't rebel.

#4 Christie is urban and the GOP is the party of the rural poor, superstitious and uneducated voters.
