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.

Christie comes across as a professional politician and that is exactly why Carson and Trump are doing so well. Americans have had it with the professional political class, that is a major reason why the country is in such dire straights. So go a head and go “nuclear” mr. Christie and remind every one why you are despised in the first place.

I think I dislike Christie more and more each time he opens his mouth. He hasn’t appealed to me since he was picked on because of his weight when he first ran for governor. I like underdogs. Now I find him annoying no matter what he says or does. He had a better shot at being President before we got to know him.

The visual image I get is one of those beached whales that explodes due to a build up of gasses. It won’t be pretty.

Cristie going nuclear... someone PLEASE post the video scene from “The Meaning of Life” of the FAT MAN vomiting prodigiously after eating “a wafer thin mint”! That is the extent of Cristie being able to “go nuclear”.
