Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Alright, hear me out, I hate him for how capricious he was but Christine is heads and shoulders above the rest of those clowns. He would actually be competent in the job.
I'm a new jerseyian and I'd never thought I'd be rooting for Christie but here we are. I would one hundred percent take him over any of the other republican candidates.
I have some Jersey roots and I'm feeling the same... It's amazing how remarkably terrible the GOP have become that Christie starts looking good.
He still doesn't have a chance in hell...he's not nearly as racist, bigoted, or Q'd up enough for the crazies that vote R.
I've been saying for years Christie would have been far better than the other Republican options in the 2016 election. At the very least, in the past, he worked with Democrats to achieve things. Which, of course, is why he'd never get the support of the Republican party.
I recognize he's not a good person, but of the Republican lot in that election, he was probably would have been the best President.
He is a twice elected gop governor in a solid blue state. Anyone like Meatball Ron would have never gotten elected.
Because he is a RINO who made his career running things instead of fighting cultural war bullshit.
I still don't want him as president.
Yes. I trust Christie to at least hire/appoint people who are reasonably competent and weren't just people he saw on TV
