FBI finds no evidence that Christie had advance knowledge of lane closures.

That does not prove that he did not have knowledge.

His record as governor is pretty spotty,and he seems to annoy the Oligarchy.

At one time I thought I liked the guy, but now I hope this asshole stays in JoyZeee!

I might stay home if he is the nominee.....screw him.

While he was stellar taking on Unions, ala Scott Walker, the rest of his record should make folks like xo giddy with excitement...especially when it comes to gun control & immigration issues

Christie is seems  rational than the rest of those who think they should be president. I don't think he is likely to get the nomination. Jebbie appears to have the best chance at the present time.

   He seems like a smart guy with a no nonsense attitude , I like the type generally.

    But his attitude towards gun control is not good, that is a big one, so he isn't my favorite.


       The main thing he has to do to get my vote is be better than the alternative.

      So I will probably vote for my best favorite in the primaries, and settle for the better of two later.

Christie is the sort of guy that I can imagine might tell an oligarch to go f*ck himself. I cannot imagine Jebbie, Marco or Mitt doing that.

  Can you name an oligarch?

    If that is permitted.

The Koch Brothers are the most well-known.
The Johnsons of Johnson and Johnson, the Waltons of Wal Mart,

If you check out the names of the directors of the Boards of Directors is major companies and eliminate the tokens, the women and the former politicians, anyone who serves on more than three boards is pretty clearly an oligarch. Boards of Directors are generally interlocked affairs. The same names on the Board of a large electric company, like FPL will also be on the board of a major supplier of  fuel and manufacturer of generators.

On the board of Arvida, a real estate development company, you will find members from the boards of lumber, cement, electrical wiring, appliance and paving companies.

Most of the members of the oligarchy abhor publicity. Donald Trump is an obvious exception, and he is perhaps only a second class oligarch.

   This would make George Bush the 41st president qualify very well as an oligarch, he has been a member of a lot of boards.

     But he lost in his contest with Ronald Reagan, Reagan was just the smartest guy in the country that year.

Reagan was the dandy of the oligarchs of the West and South, Bush was a New England oligarch.

A good actor who faithfully reads his script is superior to someone tainted with New England liberalism.

You are the one that continues to toot Reagan's horn.

You will never convince me that the old hack was not a major disaster for my country.
