Stile: Christie’s focus is on Hillary Clinton during GOP debate

Judging from the pundits, Gov. Chris Christie was the victor of the undercard Republican presidential debate Tuesday night.

Jindal has yet to make it onto the main debate stage, and he used his time to hammer home the argument that he was the only person on stage who had cut government spending in his state.

“Christie has the traditionally recognized best debating skills – he looks directly at the camera; he is usually succinct, he uses the phrase ‘When I am your president;’ and he attacked Hillary Clinton, as the presumed Democratic nominee, a lot”, Bystrom observed.

Christie and Huckabee also spent time attacking the Internal Revenue Service and blaming the federal tax code with weakening manufacturing and the United States generally.

Fox Business Network promoted the pair of debates the promise that the moderators would be more prepared than their CNBC counterparts from the last GOP debate.

SNJ Today is a Southern New Jersey news and information source based in Millville, New Jersey that is dedicated to providing current stories related specifically to South Jersey. You haven’t done that in New Jersey.

Fifty-three percent of New Jersey Republicans think Christie should stay in the race, although 40 percent think he should drop out.

“The vetting that you all did with President Obama doesn’t even come close, doesn’t even come close to what you guys are trying to do in my case, and you’re just going to keep going back, “He said this 12 years ago” – it is just garbage”, Carson told CNN’s Alisyn Camerota on Friday. “And, she was stopped then by a strong group of republicans, and an American public that said, ‘No, thank you, ‘” said Mr. Christie, who is the Governor of New Jersey that has a significant Indian-American population.

The undercard GOP presidential debate in Milwaukee Tuesday kept a tight focus on the economy.

Rick Santorum and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who was also relegated from the prime-time debate to the earlier event.

The debate, hosted by the Fox Business Channel, the Wall Street Journal and the Republican National Committee, was the calmest of the four so far, a byproduct of the chaos of the third one in Boulder. Christie said, referring to the investigation into whether his office initiated a traffic-causing bridge closure as political retribution.

Christie defended his record, pointing out that he’s been re-elected as an anti-abortion governor in a blue state that has more registered Democrats than Republicans. He said Christie’s team “anticipated” attacks from a “desperate” Jindal. “They took my Social Security number, my fingerprints as a US attorney that were on file there”.

If Christie was focused on Clinton, Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal aimed his sights on Christie. “Let’s just not beat Hillary”. “I want to fire everybody in D.C.”, Jindal said. “She is the real adversary tonight”.
