Thank goodness, they have no chance in a national race. I have to admit that I simply don't understand New Jersey's repeated choice.

That's when I stopped listening to NPR.

As for his record....

Unspinning Christies State of the State
In his State of the State address, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie exaggerated some figures and boasted about progress that doesnt look so impressive when compared with national trends.
◾Christie boasted that New Jerseys unemployment rate has dropped from 9.7 percent when he took office to 6.4 percent (as of November). But New Jersey was doing slightly better than the national average when he took office, and is now doing slightly worse.
◾The governor touted the creation of 150,000 private sector jobs. But New Jerseys rate of private sector job growth is less than half the national average; in fact New Jersey ranked 49th out of 50 states in private sector job growth.
◾Christie crowed about New Jersey being No. 4 in per capita income. The state is actually third in per capita personal income, exactly where it was the year before Christie took office. It ranked second for more than two decades before that.
◾Christie said that state property taxes increased more than 70 percent in the 10 years prior to him becoming governor, and that theyve increased by less than 2 percent in each of the last four. That ignores the impact state rebates have played in lowering the property tax burden before he was governor, and the impact of the rebate cuts he implemented as governor.
◾Christie made the misleading claim that taxes were raised 115 times in the eight years before 2010, the year he took office. But that list includes fees, not just taxes, and the governor himself proposed 23 fee hikes in the 2015 budget.

MEMO: Chris Christies Terrible Economic Record
Tonight, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie will deliver his State of the State address. We hope he uses this chance to come clean about his serious money problems: his credit has been downgraded eight times. He hasnt saved enough for retirement. And his security detail is costing him 18 times what it did 5 years ago.
Why should he talk about his money problems during the State of the State? Because they have nothing to do with his bank account were talking about New Jersey taxpayers money here.
Since Chris Christie took office in 2010, hes been playing fast and loose with taxpayer money. He has mismanaged the budget, resulting in New Jerseys credit has been downgraded eight times no New Jersey governor had ever presided over that many downgrades. Hes spending 18 times more on his personal security today than when he took office, for a total of almost $1 million, or nearly $33,000 per month. Hes cut $2.4 billion in pension payments he promised to make because his budget projections were wrong.

Bring it on, Christie. Your record stinks and your personality is even worse.

(6 posts)White Supremacists Pledge Allegiance To Donald Trump
[link:http://www.vocativ.com/news/206807/white-supremacists-and-nazis-for-trump|
http://www.vocativ.com/news/206807/white-supremacists-and-nazis-for-trump
"White supremacist blogger Andrew Anglin of the website The Daily Stormer posted his official endorsement of Trump for president on Sunday, noting that the former Apprentice star is willing to say what most Americans think: its time to deport these people [Hispanic immigrants]. He is also willing to call them out as criminal rapists, murderers and drug dealers. In another post, Anglin commends Trump for his refusal to back down from factual statements about Mexican rapists.
"Another of Trumps supporters is Kyle Rogers, a member of the Council of Conservative Citizens, the hate group authorities say inspired Roof to murder nine at a historic black church in South Carolina earlier this month. Rogers was hocking Donald Trump 2016 tee-shirts to nearly 40,000 followers on Twitter last week."

(11,175 posts)He has some actions and issue positions that are a shade less conservative than the absolute-batshit-crazy the base demands.
On top of that, they blame him for Obama's re-election. His willingness to appear and be photographed with Obama, as they toured the Jersey Shore in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, is seen as having burnished Obama's credentials as a leader in time of crisis, and thus swung the election.
