Politics: Lightning Round With Christie - nytimes.com/video

[djbro16]

a quality politician that's smart and sincere and real.. conservative AND smart?? AND real?? this guy is RARE.. he should be running for president NOW

[hestonfan77]

I love the guy and wishes he were my governor.

[Vox91]

He's a first-class asshole and a bully. The asshole part appeals to Wall Street types and the fat bully part appeals to shit-for-brains FOX watchers.

[islandgirl8341]

@Vox91 Obviously you got the your wheels on backwords. Maybe you should REALLY look what's going on around us, and maybe you'll be blessed enough to see reality.

[Vox91]

@islandgirl8341 Reality? If you make less than $500,000 per year and you're a Chris Christie supporter, you could probably qualify as being mildly retarded.

[njdevil281]

@Vox91 Why because he has refused to raise our property taxes?

[cenyan13]

If you dont live in new jersey, dont try and comment. Our state was already in bad shape but now its really going to shit because this guy doesnt know how to do his damn job. My school and other schools which he cut funds to are falling apart, some metaphorically AND literally. This guy is a terrible politician, and im pretty sure putting him or sara palin or any other stupid conservative republican in the presidential seat would bring around that stupid mayan prophecy in 2012...

[BBCater]

@cenyan13 I think you're right. I think that cutting funding (increasing by $200+ million over the previous budget, minus the $1 billion handout) is probably the single biggest thing that will lead to global catastrophe. Maybe someone should pay attention during math class, and maybe they'd learn a thing or two. "Metaphorically" speaking - learn something before you expose your abysmal ignorance.

Just where, exactly, do you think "funds" come from?

Ignorance is curable. Stupidity is fatal.

@cenyan13

Stop relying on the government to protect your job. Because they can only do it by taking money from everyone else and giving it to you. The demand for magical money promises from the government, which the government stupidly signs off on, is what's bankrupted California and other states, and Chris Christie is the only thing standing between New Jersey and the same fate. You should thank him instead of whining for more breast milk from Mommy's sore and empty tit.

[jnstraume]

Christie NEEDS to run for the Presidency. I honestly don't think he realizes the support he'd have.

[Teapartyla]

I really like what I've seen from Christie so far, but the last few seconds of this video did not sound good. I wouldn't want a President who compromises on everything and "get along". I hope I misunderstood what he was saying.

[dannyjn]

This should be our next POTUS Obamgo needs to get lost! 

[candymanMVHS]

Gosh every time I watch a clip of him he impresses me someway or another, he would make a good candidate in 2012, too bad he said time and time again he wont .

[fuzzypickle90]

@candymanMVHS Steven Seagal fucked your mom!

[candymanMVHS]

@fuzzypickle90 Kid stop making liberals look like dumasses by posting dumass chicken shit comments instead of doing your homework, so quit masterbating to Seagal and trolling or else your momy will take your pony away.

[fuzzypickle90]

@candymanMVHS but still he fucked your mom!

[candymanMVHS]

@fuzzypickle90 I fucked your mom 12 years ago and made you so keep your mouth shut before daddy puts you in your place bitch.

[fuzzypickle90]

@candymanMVHS my mother died 14 years ago you cunt

[candymanMVHS]

@fuzzypickle90 Oh ok this is the part where I say "oh my God im so sorry, I didn't know" and then you say something like "jaja my mom isn't dead you (bad word)" There I saved you the trouble bitch. Now go do your homework bitch boy. PS Your mother's a dirty whore who takes it up the ass.

[fuzzypickle90]

@candymanMVHS soz dad

[Teapartyla]

@fuzzypickle90 You two sound like Obama supporters. Behave yourselves and at least act 4

[twelvemonkeys12]

@candymanMVHS He just needs to fix NJ first! What example would it set if he left NJ on the backburner while running for president? I know he has the potential to fix NJ and if he does it'll be amazing, and I'm sure he'll give more consideration to it in the future after taking care of what he was elected for.

[candymanMVHS]

@twelvemonkeys12 Can't argue with you there, he seems to have a good ideas and we'll see how things turn out. But I definitely understand what your saying.

[twelvemonkeys12]

@candymanMVHS I'm sure if he ever ran for president though, those unaware of him would quickly come to appreciate the straight forward approach he takes to solving issues along with just basically being truthful (something that sounds so easy but is so often neglected in politics)

And I'm pretty sure awhile ago he was thinking hard about presidency, then remembered theres a lot left back in NJ to take care of- so I'm sure its an idea he's willing to pursue when the time is right

[EgadsNo]

@candymanMVHS Seems is a good way to put it. Take his 2.5% cap on property tax, whats a little 2.5 right? Well its enough to get what you pay now, double in 28 years with interest compounded from successive tax raises that go under peoples noses.

[lolraxjimmy]

@candymanMVHS

I would love for him to run, but he knows it is tough to beat an incumbent. He would rather wait for 2016 and guarantee a win.
