TRENTON — A defiant Gov. Chris Christie appeared on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" to defend his badly listing New Jersey job approval polls as the effect of incessant media attacks, rather than his true record.
Asked why his job approval dropped from 70 plus percentage ratings to the current 36 percent low, Christie answered, "How 'bout nightly specials on this network, for like, five months, calling me Attila the Hun? How 'bout relentless attacks from the New York Times and the media?"
However, he also acknowledged the negative effect that his decision to seek the GOP 2016 nomination was taking.
"Then," he said, "then, you also wind up deciding to run for president. And when you do that, inside your own state — and you see that with Scott Walker, you see it with Bobby Jindal — the people in your own state go, 'Aww, you're leaving us? You don't care about us as much?' and your numbers go down. Each one of the governors who's running, their numbers are down in their states, and that's just the way it goes."
Fellow GOP 2016 hopeful, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal saw his job approval numbers sink to an abysmally low 27 percent in March, though they have since rebounded to nearly 50 percent approval. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has not declared his 2016 candidacy, but earlier this spring, his job approval numbers had also fallen to a three-year low....

I bet you he hasn’t directly seen his pecker since he was a teenager - if that.
LOL
Christie blames MSNBC and their 3 viewers for his low ratings in New Jersey.

I’m not voting for a democrat.
I don’t care if there’s an (R) after his name.
Fat chance!!!
Powdered-with-crack donuts.
Good one.
I thought we already had a Northeastern loudmouth in the race who occasionally says things conservatives like, mixes it up with the press, and cozies up to Dems.
Rand is from the Northeast?
And if a frog had wings he wouldn’t bump his @$$ every time he hopped.
Not enough oxygen reaching that proportionally tiny head.
Any person who doesn’t have the will power to stay away from the cheese cake should not be president. And that includes me.
For what?
Delusional.
I think Christie’s numbers in the pro-marijuana crowd should improve. He must be smoking something other than tobacco if he believes what he said.
These are economic hard times. New Jersey has been downgraded 9 times since he has been govenor. How can he possible even be considered ... he is an economic failure. Maybe he should jump into the Democrat primary and run against Hillary, he might actually do well.
Good suggestion.
I think running for president is how he loses weight and lines his pockets.
