I agree with you to a great degree regarding Christie and Rauner.
Romney’s big liability for me is that he was only a one-term governor....but it was better than the rest of the field he was facing.
A two term Republican in a liberal state (Reagan and Walker, for instance) are the best, in my opinion.
Christie won twice in NJ, and we’ve laid off many public employees in response to his stabilization of property taxes here. He isn’t perfect, but our property tax bills don’t increase as much as they had in the past. He knows we have to keep NJ attractive to companies and individual taxpayers.
