I agree that Christie is not perfect and that he is not a democrat etc. However, I believe that he also not capable of being the President that this Republic needs now, and immediately. Christie will fight his own battles for his own agendas and what he seems interested in is what makes him a good governor for NJ. However he is not wired to dig past the emotional pull of events and get to the fundamentals of citizenship and the basic rights of free born Americans to have a say in how their country is to be governed by themselves, not foreign power brokers and their communist, socialist surrogates in the US.
I understand; I’m a fan of Christie, but have never advocated for him as president.
However, that is not a proper definition of "making government work".
Instead, in the American scheme off things, a working government should be recognized as "serving the best interests of the people". And, very often, those interests are not served by passing bills (that are corrupt), spending money (that you don't have) and writing regulations (that limit freedom).
In those cases, the peoples best interests are served by standing your ground. The machinery of government may grind to a halt...but that's what serves "the people's best interest".
