He is McCain heavy with a bigger mouth.
Christie understands, as Reagan did, that compromise is necessary as a means of reaching a goal. For McCain, compromising, or even merely appearing to be willing to compromise, IS the goal. Christie is a leader. McCain is a 1 of 100 go-along-to-get-alonger. Christie is an effective speaker. McCain is a boob.
Nope. They have nothing in common. I realize this isn't what some radio talkers say, but then, they just have to get ratings. They don't have to actually accomplish anything in government.
Sorry but Christie is no McCain.Nor is he a Romney. McCain has been in charge of running his mouth and not a state for the last 20 years. He has been erratic and is all over the lot even to the point of pressing to have Dem to the point Lieberman on his national ticket. Christie has had the difficult job of running a Dem state saddled with a Dem legislature and steamrolling through fiscal spending cuts and fighting unions to the point that no one on that stage can match him.. He has established his fiscal conservative bona fides more than anyone on that stage.He is pro life and always has been.Been strongly opposed to Obamacare. Yup, one can probably find a few socially moderate positions he holds that one can disagree with but overall he is more conservative than most.
