Chris Christie goes after Trump saying the country isn't electing an entertainer -in -chief and show

Chris Christie goes after Trump saying the country isn't electing an 'entertainer-in-chief' and 'showtime is over' - but refuses to mention The Donald by name
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie had tough words for one of his rivals, saying the country wasn't interested in electing 'carnival barkers'
At a speech at Saint Anselm College, Christie was clearly prodding frontrunner Donald Trump saying the nation needs a grown-up
Trump has noticed Christie's rise in the polls and needled for getting too cozy with President Obama suggesting he acted 'like a little boy'

Chris Christie used a variety of terms today to knock Republican frontrunner Donald Trump, except the most obvious one – the candidate's name.
'Showtime is over,' the New Jersey governor told the crowd gathered at Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire. 'We are not electing an entertainer-in-chief.'
Christie is positioning himself as a viable alternative to the billionaire businessman and former reality television star as the first primary contests are just weeks away.
Chris Christie didn't name names, but said the country didn't need an 'entertainer-in-chief' and that 'showtime' was over. Perhaps he was talking about former reality star Donald Trump?

Chris Christie is seeing a good return in his investment in New Hampshire, as he's now fourth place in most polls, way behind Trump, but in striking distance of Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz
Christie has been gaining steam in New Hampshire, the state that holds the first primary.
He's averaging fourth place in the polls, behind Trump, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, though he's increasingly been within striking distance of both Rubio and Cruz.
The New Jersey governor's campaign, which was once on life support, could get a ticket out of the Granite State, especially if he bites off Rubio's establishment support.
Today in New Hampshire, it was Trump Christie was more focused on.
Trump, a week before, had called out Christie's economic record and suggested he was behind the closure of the George Washington Bridge, the central action in the 'bridge-gate' scandal, which Christie has denied being aware of.
'His state is No. 50 out of 50 economically,' Trump said.
'How could they close down the largest and most traveled bridge in the U.S. and he didn't know about it?' the billionaire also mused.
The Republican frontrunner also said Christie was 'like a little boy,' mocking the way the New Jersey governor embraced President Barack Obama in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
Christie hinted to today's crowd that it's really Trump who's the child.
The governor noted how these are 'dangerous, perilous times' with challenges that 'demand a grown-up.'
But Christie also split the difference between Trump, the loud-mouthed outsider, and Rubio, a sitting U.S. senator, and thus a Washington insider.

I don't know ,is he funny ?
According to what it says here he's a riot ,a real revolting act of the all out garden variety.
The good ol'e boys put him in ,made him their guy ,he's tested he says ,he's ready he claims,he's nothing more than a shell of whatever he once was ,if he was ever more than that. He thinks he made his own way. He's just another Bush fellow.
He's on his own now, out on the limb try'en like hell to please his greedy masters and at the same time try'en like all hell to work his way into the minds eye of the people. He thinks if he can get you to look long enough,he can suck you in for as many of you as there are in the same place at the same time. Actually anywhere ,any time ,especially when it's his face you see ,he talks with his face. You would think watching that face talk over the air waves that he talking directly to you,well some of you would. And if you see him for what he really is, than yes he's funny but it's not funny ,it is but it isn't.

He really gets them at those little town hall-er hoot and howlers.Yes what a hoot.

For Christie it all started when at a low point years ago, there were many of those by the way, but in this particular low point his weight issues pulled him down to his lowest place. One Sunday morning feeling as heavy as ever he went out the front door, in his bathrobe of course ,walked down by the mail box to fetch his Sunday paper.And the ground shook,the squirrels ran away in fear ,the birds flew away and the bears ran off too ! Christie knew right than and there he had to do something about it, he could not stand himself anymore ,it was just too much weight.

Christie made his way back to his arm chair, opened his Sunday paper and to his amazement there was this advertisement and it said," Attention over eaters, if you really want to lose weight the Great Mezmer will be holding hypnotic sessions from 7.pm to 10 pm. Thursday ,Friday and Saturday at the Hotel Conrad Hinton conference room . Bring your donuts or whatever is your poison plus $40.00 . Christie figured ,I spend $40.00 on donuts everyday ,what the hell ,I can go without for one day and who knows ,there might even be something to all that ho cos pocus. So the day came and Christie set out to beat his eating addiction.
So he gets himself there, reluctantly of course, box of donuts in hand and $40.00 in the other hand, ready for a session with the great Mezmer.

Christie got there and sat down ,he felt comfortable being with others with problems like or similar to his own. One lady said aloud- fearfully, is the great mezmer going to put us all under with his hocus pocus ,how does it work ? And Christie says don't worry ,the article says everybody will remain conscious no funny business, but if there is , I'll go up there and punch him right in face !

Well The great mezmer put it out there for what it is truly , he said the success rate can be as much as 40 per-cent. If your IQ is 78 or less forget it . And if you really don't want to stop eating so much, you won't. And that's the way it is. As the session went on Christie noticed a certain something about the mood of the room -it reminded him of church in way. There was something illusive but captivating,there was no seeming hocus pocus ,but there was something of a presence in the room like an invisible film like substance. It wasn't really a substance but there was something there. Well you know, Christie forgot all about his problem and something came over him, Christie thought to himself ,I really got to find out how to do that. I can win over clients with that, hell I can win elections with that. I gotta have a little privet talk with the great Mezmer ,I got to know how to captivate ,I mean capture an audience like that. I mean the guy tells it like it is. If your too dumb to know better it's too bad and if you don't want to help yourself,you won't. I mean that's blunt talk, that's telling it like it is ! And I can use every bit of it and the dummies and all those that don't want to help themselves too ! I can coral them all !
On that evening marked new beginnings for Christie, the monster realized a way out. And for the great Mezmer ,it was a long prosperous road at $40.00 a head ,until his show was shut down !

And if you are thinking Christie took revenge on the great Mezmer for having wronged him maybe when christie got the appointment by the Bush parade ,you are wrong, the feds closed in on the great Mezmer long before Christie pledged himself to those republicans. Actually the great Mezmer clued Christie in on some of the benefits he could capitalize on through his enormous weight. For that tip Christie is forever grateful to the great Mezmer. It all began when Christie found out where the great Mezmer was staying , quickly he found out it wasn't at the Conrad Hinton hotel -The great Mezmer was quite fond of New York .and Christie tracked the great Mezmer down at his hotel in the city, banged his door dam near down . Mezmer opened the door thinking there must be an emergency, perhaps a fire. Yes well Christie was on fire, he was just burning to know more about the great Mezmer's technique. He also wanted to acquire some of the great Mezmer's mystique.

The Great Mezmer thought, a dog an pony show might be interesting. But it was Christie's burning desire that fascinated the Great Mezmer." So fat boy,says Mezmer, " you want me to teach you how to mesmerize in groups -tell me large or small ,which would you prefer ? " So Christie says, "I really want to pack them in ,so super size the order !"

The great Mezmer than asked Christie a key question,he said, tell me fat boy, assuming you drive a car, have you ever pulled up to a stop light when there is a public bus or a tractor trailer truck in the other lane heading in the same direction as you are,the truck or bus seems to be stationary but it's moving-.You think you and your vehicle is moving, you slam your foot down on the break to stop your vehicle from seemingly taking control of your situation,come to realize you are not moving nor is your vehicle -, have you ever had such an experience ? If not, there is nothing I can do for you, if so ,than perhaps I can work with you . Which is it fat boy. ?
I know that particular state of confusion answered Christie. Ok good says Mezmer , imagine that state of mind and the break peddle. Imagine yourself gradually applying the break and imagine the audience being in that very state of mind though in a more-so pleasing non intrusive way -imagine it as a state of mind. And imagine you through the application of the break bringing it,the car load as you have packed them in- coming to just the place ,just the right spot in time and place. Think about that fat boy ,I'll be in Saint Louis ,you can look me up there after you have thought about it at great length ! And if you are serious about your quest, I am sure you will find a way to look me up !

You may go now fat boy !


POLITICO New Jersey Playbook: CHRISTIE’s attendance record -- FULOP-SWEENEY casino fight -- GARRETT and PASCRELL’s travels

Good Monday morning! Did you miss me? Playbook is back. And with less than two weeks to go before the end of the legislative session, the action in Trenton is about to pick back up after a rather slow two weeks.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: “I have tons of national security experience. I’ve prosecuted terrorist masterminds, rescued hostages with Chuck Norris and then there was the time Bruce Willis and I liberated Nakatomi Plaza.” — Chris Christie as imagined by Drew Sheneman http://bit.ly/1R8QBTE
WHERE’S CHRISTIE: New Hampshire
NEWS
‘DUDE, SHOW UP FOR WORK’ — “Chris Christie’s Absences From New Jersey Are Being Noticed,” by The Wall Street Journal’s Heather Haddon: “Mr. Christie spent 261 partial or full days traveling outside of New Jersey in 2015, or 72% of the year, according to administration figures. That included 71 days in neighboring New York and Pennsylvania … At home, a standoff drags on over the state’s underfunded pension system after the Christie administration trumpeted a partial deal in February. Lawmakers also haven’t agreed how to replenish a nearly broke fund to repair state roads. Some New Jersey political analysts blame Democrats for what they have called a lack of big accomplishments in 2015. Some Democrats haven’t wanted to compromise with Mr. Christie as they eye the race to succeed him in 2017, said Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute in New Jersey. ‘There is no question that the state government has ground to a halt,’ Mr. Murray said.’” http://on.wsj.com/1R6c13e
STILL WAITING FOR A PENSION FROM MY HIGH SCHOOL SUPERMARKET CASHIER JOB — “A.C. may try to rein in lifeguard pensions,” by Press of Atlantic City's Nicholas Huba: — “Every year, the city pays out more than $1 million in taxpayer funds to retired lifeguards, but that practice could soon come to an end as the city looks to further reduce spending. The lifeguard pension system could be one of the things city emergency manager Kevin Lavin looks to change as he continues to try to clean up the city’s finances … Atlantic City is one of nine area coastal communities that are required by a late 1920s state law to have a pension system for retired lifeguards. The nine towns contribute a total of more than $1.5 million a year to their local programs. To be eligible for the system, a guard must have 20 years of service and be older than 45, according to state law. Guards are eligible for 50 percent of their highest salary when they retire if they meet the requirements, according to the law.” http://bit.ly/1R8SgIL
