I never got on the Christie bandwagon. He was more of a populist - just saying what people wanted to hear at the time - and rode the wave others made at the time.
I’m not concerned about bandwagons or parties any more. If someone is right I’m going to agree and if they’re wrong I’ll disagree.
After all, John Conyers was the democrat co sponsor of the failed NSA vote and I’m certainly not going to beat him up for being right for once.
