Chris Christie is fighting back against critics who say heâs too big to be president. In an interview that will air Wednesday on ABCâs Barbara Walters on her â10 Most Fascinating People,â Christie said the claims were âridiculous.â âThere are people who say you couldnât be president because youâre so heavy. What do you say to them?â Walters said. âNo, thatâs ridiculous. I mean thatâs ridiculous. I mean I donât know what the basis is,â he said. He continued: âWell, Iâve done this job pretty well. And I think people have watched me for the last number of weeks of Hurricane Sandy doing 18-hour days and getting right back up the next day and still being just as effective. So I donât really think that will be a problem.â (PHOTOS: 2016 Republican contenders) Also making the list? Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Like Christie, sheâs rumored to be debating a 2016 presidential run. âShe is probably one of the most admired women in the country. We asked her of course whether she wants to run for president, but you know what most people wanted to know?â Walters said GMA introducing the clip. âWhat do you do about your hair?â âI know that itâs one of the great fascinations of our time, much to my amazement,â Clinton said, bursting into a cackle of laughter. Clinton added: âIt just got me really burdensome to try to find a hairdresser in some city somewhere. So I said, âEnough, weâre just going to go with as simple as possible.ââ âNobody asks the men that,â Walters said. âHave you noticed?â said Clinton, who is appearing on Waltersâ list for the third time.
Christie will be their guy, and he will come in a bit smaller than he is today. By that time, the GOP will have driven the Tea Party into the ocean, and the moderates will have firm control. That is a perfect banner for Christie to carry. But if Hillary does run, he can hang it up.
Well "99cent" I think christie blew his chances with his slobbering near endorsement of obama in 2012. True Conservatives didn't like that too much , made him look like "stab you in the back" McVain.
Rand Paul 2016. He's been playing dirty politics by endorsing Romney this past election. He's going to get his hands dirty because that's what it takes to become president these days.
