Martinez: Christie like many ‘friends’ eyeing GOP nomination

Four years ago, some of Christie’s backers tried to persuade him to challenge President Barack Obama. “You’ve got to wait for a whole nother season”. Just 26 percent of those surveyed said Christie could govern the state well while running for the presidency, while 71 percent said he couldn’t. “Stop”.

Lawmakers last week sent Christie legislation that would set a ,000 cap on the sales and use tax on yachts and other expensive noncommercial boats purchased in New Jersey. The Livingston High School gymnasium was packed with friends, family and supporters as Christie declared his “readiness to work with America to restore its rightful place in the world”.

After today’s announcement, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie joins a long list of 2016 presidential candidates, from both parties. “When I called him this weekend and told him that I was going to get into the race this week”. Why did you not slay him in a Klingon honor duel? “I mean what I say, and I say what I mean”.

Each time they met, it was widely celebrated in the media as a symbol of bipartisan cooperation, further angering conservatives.

Monmouth University’s survey of 453 registered voters found that 75% believed Mr. Christie is more concerned about his political future than governing the state. And Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker draws even with Christie.

“Yes, it’s possible to be a supreme holy figure yet still know what you are talking about regarding the Climate.”

Christie announced his presidential bid earlier in the day in New Jersey.

Voters stay home because they’re disillusioned, said Assemblyman John DiMaio, R-Warren. “Did you?” she asked.
