It’s hard to recall a former politician who was showered with more free media attention than Chris Christie this month as he peddled his new book, “Republican Rescue.” Invited to appear on a carousel of shows, Christie was all-present as journalists lined up to interview him. CNN even dedicated an entire primetime hour to him, treating the in-your-face Republican as one of the most important political voices in the country.
Consumers aren’t buying it.
A senior publishing source with access to the industry’s BookScan tabulations tells me that “Republican Rescue” sold just 2,289 copies during its first week in stores, which constitutes a colossal publishing flop. That figure does not include digital copies of the book, but based on industry sales patterns, given Christie’s weak showing in stores he likely sold only a few hundred digital ones. (On Sunday, “Republican Rescue” was ranked 15,545th at Amazon’s Kindle Store.)
In comparison to Christie’s 2,000 copies debacle, Jonathan Karl’s new book “Betrayal: The Final Act of the Trump Show,” sold 24,000 hardcover copies the same week as the Christie failure. How Christie was able to sell so few books after lining up so much national media attention during his marketing roll-out — “This Week” and “The View,” “Fox & Friends,” along with Fox News, Fox Business, the Daily Show, HBO twice, and CNBC — represents an extraordinary disconnect.
It confirms that the deeply unpopular former New Jersey governor remains, first and foremost, a media creation.

Well the good news is he can eat all the unsold books.
Maybe if it came with a free Krispy Kreme each day. You know, like the shots he loves so much.
Hewitt spent endless minutes “interviewing” Christie about his book. Actually got rather embarrassing, as Hewitt often does. But no surprise the book doesn’t sell. Christie has no natural audience. Who is going to buy his dreck? Not liberals. Not conservatives. A few Rino’s perhaps. That’s it.
He doesn’t have George Soros to buy up 20 million copies of his book like the Obamas and Clintons.
That fat turd should write books about eating cheeseburgers - something he’s an actual expert at 🤪
I’d close any bridges he wanted to cross to save the structures from collapse....
The caption should read, “you promised me a bear claw,”
Chris Christie would have better luck selling a cookbook.
“You’re such a fat f___ Christie, that when you walk down the street people say, God ____it that guy’s a big fat f___!!!”
The real question is how much he was paid up front to eject this turd onto the public?
If I want to know the best way to get 10,000 calories down my pie-hole every day, I *might* consider reading something written by Krispy Kreme Christie. If I want to read about politics or the future of the GOP (which has no future), no.
Mike Pence sees this story on his laptop:
“Karen, come take a look at this!
‘Christie only sold 2289 books in his first week. Can you believe it? ...And this, after popping up on all those shows. Just you wait, MY BOOK is gonna blow Chris Christie straight outta the water!!”
That was the pinnacle of Christie's political career. It was all downhill from there.
He should have gone on to become a talking head, but he was limited to radio. Seriously, who would want to see that fat head talking on TV? Clearly, he has no future as writer. Maybe he can run for a local school board seat or for a city council or a subdivision HOA board, or one of the many other political positions that no one else wants.
No one cares about a blimp of an East Coast RINO
Hes the personification of the word “fudgecicle”
For cripes sake people
I pity the poor chair.
