to the local channel from CNN. He's on there too. That's what I get for living in the "Tri State Area".

(28,394 posts)Didn't he say that about two days ago? I didn't really expect him to give up the opportunity to be "in charge" though.

(14,691 posts)the heat got too much and he had to return. Then he seemed to stay on camera as long as possible to milk the situation. I swear the NYC mayor's press conference was half as long and included more officials.

(58,724 posts)The best thing that can happen for the residents of that state is for him to ignore them.

(35,667 posts)I'd rather pick up the tab on his fantasy of being president. It's much less expensive than having him run things.
Two examples of how he can cost the middle and lower-income sectors enormous amounts are:
--he stacked PERC ( where public employees go for appeals), and now it is very difficult for those of us in public unions to get a fair shake. In fact, it's a very corrupt board now, with the PERC arbitrators running over to the other side (law firms that litigate in this area) for jobs.
--The Mt. Laurel decision in NJ was supposed to give moderate and low income groups a shot at living in NJ's higher income communities. Christie has managed to muck up that process from the inside, which is particularly insidious since he has infiltrated academia, who is playing a consultant role.
There are some articles (at nj.com, I think) that detail exactly what has and hasn't been done. Some remark on his whining about how difficult it is for him to get anything done with the Democratic house and senate. This means he's given up on his republicon agenda and is off chasing his fantasy.
The presidential chase is intended to elevate his status so that when he gets arrested, it appears egregious. My opinion only, but I will grant that the first and most important reason is that he's delusional.

(63,221 posts)Thanks for the insiders perspective. I hope he gets out of politics altogether.
oberliner
(58,724 posts)It wasn't even all that long ago that he trounced the Democratic candidate in a state that is mostly Democrats.
I do not understand it.
LiberalElite
(14,691 posts)they came up with a sacrificial lamb of a candidate who they then didn't support.
