He can't resist making enemies because he seems to think he's at his most charming when he treats people like crap.

(35,669 posts)Whatsoever. He is nothing but a blowhard.
How I wish he would get a reality check, realize he is not going to survive, and get the hell out of here so we can have a real governor.
Part of his debt problem is that he overestimated the money online gambling was going to bring in:
In March 2013, New Jersey officials forecast that online gambling would yield somewhere in the neighborhood of $180 million in tax revenues for the state during the first fiscal year Internet gaming was legal. But the estimates have been falling ever sinceto $160 million when Christ Christie signed the state budget last summer, and down to just $34 million earlier this year, after a few months of legalized online gambling had passed. More recently, the state treasurer said that no more estimates on online gambling revenues would be made public, which seems wise considering how previous predictions have fared.

It is pitiful how Christie goes around blaming Washington for all his troubles when in fact, he has been the biggest swindler of national tax revenues of anyone in the entire U.S.! Federal tax revenues have been saving his sorry ass for far too long.
I am glad Pascrell called B.S. on him. What a cowardly sack of Q@$# Christie is. We do not deserve this creep.
