Chris Christie Is A Jerk — And The Public Despises Him

If Chris Christie is serious about his bid for president, then he has to do something about his public image. And no, we're not talking about his appearance. We're talking about the public's perception that the New Jersey governor is too much of a bully to ever be president.

According to the latest polls, 54% of New Jersey voters see Christie as “not presidential” in the way he conducts himself, 58% described him as “arrogant,” 52% say he’s “self-centered,” and 49% describe him as a bully.

Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Subway restaurant spokesman Jared Fogle is expected to plead guilty to child porn charges, five weeks after federal officials raided his Indiana home.

Subway will be needing a no nonsense replacement due to impending doom that fell upon myself and Subway .There is no point in passing off the blame anywhere other than where it belongs. Chris Christie seems like a fitting replacement and he can blame all of his evil doings on his weight issues. Kind of like a Twinkie defense. I will miss all the free food and attention.

. . . is he really any more of a jerk than Donald Trump? There seem to be a lot of folks who have no trouble with him.
