Chris Christie says he’s thinking of taking a more aggressive approach during the next Republican presidential primary debate.

During an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” Monday night, the New Jersey governor and presidential candidate told Fallon that he’s considering going “nuclear” if he’s relegated to the sidelines during the next GOP face-off, which will be moderated by CNN later this month.

“Stay tuned on Sept. 16th,” Christie told Fallon, “We may be changing tactics. You know, if I get to like 15 questions in a row—count ’em at home—if I get to 15 in a row (where he’s not called on), you’re going to go, ‘Uh-oh; he’s going to go nuclear now.’”

Christie’s return to late-night TV comes as he’s been struggling to gain momentum in the crowded Republican field in the summer polls.

I heard that Trump had said that one of his biggest mistakes was opening a Casino with an ‘all you can eat buffet’ with a person like Christie being the Governor.

(or something along that line).

Why do I suddenly have this image of Mr. Creosote from Monty Python’s “Meaning of Life.”

Maybe they should restrain him now?

Well, they named one of the early nukes ‘Fat Man’ so I guess that he might as well go nuclear. Just don’t be downwind when he blows!

Fallon playing the knee-jerk liberal.

Trump isn’t “yelling”—that is Christie’s schtick.

Dude, Chris, PLEASE! DON’T! FART!

I’m begging you, the environmental impact could be catastrophic. Please, those people in the audience have families!

“Only opens the man to flatulence jokes, sorry “

I actually thought of the scene with the really fat man in Monty Python movie “The Meaning of Life”

“Just a paper thin mint!”

Constipated Christy, going nuclear, so the gas buildup might look like this (as Bond said “he always did have an inflated opinion of himself”).

I cant respect a man that can even find his own dick. It shows me he has no discipline. He needs to go nuclear on a diet and exercise program and get out of this race.
