While chances are I won't be voting for the guy if he were to run for president since I'm rather liberal, I have to say I wouldn't be too distraught if Republican New Jersey Governor Chris Christie was elected in 2016 or beyond that. For a party that has veered so far to the right, Abraham Lincoln has reportedly yelled out, "Four score and for f**k's sake...," Chris Christie has become a rather refreshing presence in the GOP.
Just last night, when answering questions from CEOs in this nation's capital, Christie said the following:
"It's about human relationships, the fact of the matter is nobody in this city talks to each other anymore and if they do talk to each other it's not civilly. They don't develop relationships, they don't develop any sense of trust between each other."
He added: "You have to compromise at times. If I walk away with 70 percent of my agenda, then New Jersey is 70 percent better than it would have been otherwise."
The New Jersey Governor even said this about President Obama:
"I feel bad for President Obama, because he just won a year ago and everybody's like, 'So, who's next?' There is still work to be done in this country and as we shove him out the door we minimize his ability to be an effective executive and we shouldn't do that so I'm not rushing...I'll make that decision when I have to (on whether or not he'll run for president in 2016)."
Yeah, so while I probably won't vote for the guy should he run for president in 2016, I hope he's the Republican nominee, and if he wins, I hope he's able to help move his party back toward the center. If that does happen, I may have less great material to work with for political satire, but I'm sure I could find other things to write about.
