Republican Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey is walking a political tightrope as he charts his future, trying to balance his re-election campaign in a Democratic-leaning state with a potential presidential bid aimed at winning over Republicans.

He fell off the tightrope and went splat a long time ago. It was a heckuva mess.
When he lowered the flag to half staff for a drunkin' druggie...that was enough for me.

Was that Rubio I saw next to him?
“Big” men should really think twice before attempting the high wire.
he does better as a jiggler

Actually I think his lardness forced the tightrope to the ground and it is now firmly up his A**.
That ain't Chris Christie.
That's Bobby Baccalà from the "Sopranos!"
Ain’t you gonna press the flesh, Pappy? Do some politickin’?
I’ll press your flesh, you dim-witted son’bitch.
Don’t tell your Pappy how to court the electorate. We ain’t one-at-a-timin’ here.
We’re mass communicatin’!
Harden your arteries, Christie.

Let’s pretend... it is 2015 and it is Hillary vs Cruz. Who will Christie back?
Hillary.
For some strange reason, the concept of “press the flesh” and Chris Christie makes my skin crawl. You owe me a few nights’ sleep over that picture.
good grief 2016.
Yikes sorry about that, I see your point.
Thats a quote from Pappy “ Pass the Biscuits” O’Daniel from O Brother where art Thou.
If I remembered how to post pics, the two next to each other would be pretty funny
