The two of them are very similar in their public demeanor, too. They come across as genuine people because they're not afraid to tell you what they think, and they really don't give a sh!t if it pisses off a lot of people.
Christie has talent and in a way you are right - he was a very unlikely guy to win the Governors mansion of a state like New Jersey!
I don’t know where he lands, but he will land somewhere. We are less than 72 hours removed from one of the happiest moments of my life that was created by a most unlikely hero who worked his butt off like nobody I have ever seen enduring non-stop BS, and already I am reading suggestions that he jettison one of his top surrogates who worked hard to get him elected even when few thought he had a chance?
I know it is not intentional on the part of most FReepers because we are used to chattering about everything, but this is also a form of hubris (on our part) and I know I have been guilty of it too.
We will not like everything Trump does or every person Trump chooses, but he earned the right.
Bottom line -
I know some of you don’t like Christie - too bad.
I know some of you don’t like Newt - too bad.
I know some of you don’t like Rudy - too bad.
They are three of the most important members of Team Trump. We have to get over our past grudges against each of them because they helped create the excitement and optimism that we are feeling now. They earned forgiveness in my book for any past sins. It’s a new day for all of us and they earned a new day as well.
