After Christie, who the Hell wanted another Republican?? Christie was sold as the Republican savior of New Jersey and he turned out to be a turd. People were willing to try another Democrat after his clown act.

Obviously you live in New Jersey. How bad was he? Did he raise taxes? What did he do that made you say what you did? You sound really angry.
Before Christie was elected our property taxes increased 6-7% per year (for the teachers’ unions, primarily); he capped those increases at 2%. He was the best we could hope for; it was no accident he was re-elected easily. The media has spent the last 4 years “trumping” him (24/7 BS media attacks); I expect this will happen more widely before the mid-terms next year.
You watch what happens in NJ now, and you’ll understand why Christie was a two-term governor in one of the most heavily taxed state in the country. We are losing American taxpayers at a terrifying rate, and they are being replaced with imported braceros just to keep the public school systems from folding. Christie slowed but couldn’t stop the inevitable, and having a candidate who pledged to raise taxes replace him is horrible. Nobody wants to buy homes here anymore because we all can clearly see we’re just tenants of the teachers’ unions; Christie was the only one to stand up to them.
