New Jersey GOP Gov. Chris Christie has forged a reputation as an imposing lawmaker who can get the job done by sheer will and force. But his confrontational style also poses a liability should he make a 2016 White House bid -- attracting hecklers, political rivals and others intent on disrupting his message to spotlight their own.

Though Christie’s brash style has long been a topic for conversation, it has resurfaced amid political talk moving from the midterms to the next presidential election and Christie telling New Jersey resident Jim Keady to “sit down and shut up.”

Keady, who challenged Christie at a recent public event about his Superstorm Sandy recovery efforts, is a well-known activist.

Christie is only combative with teachers, conservatives, and people in his own party he does not agree with.

He is a pathetic wimp and a true “walk across the aisle quisling” when it comes to dealing with democrats.

I don’t trust Christie. That being said, aside from Cruz and maybe Paul, he seems like the only one out there willing to fight back.

Christie is a big liability, period. Just another corrupt politician.

His combativeness no, his record yes. You can’t gloss over the downgrading of the credit rating of New Jersey during his tenure.

If you add Huckabee, Huntsman, and Graham to that list you’d have all your bases pretty well covered.

Crispy is one of those guys you either love or hate. He’s too polarizing to win a race for President. I can’t stand the sight of the guy myself. There is no way I would ever vote for him.

Neither yes nor no. Krispy Kream will not be a factor so whatever he does won’t mean anything.
