In fairness, I shouldn't have chosen this unflattering picture of Chris Christie. But his personality is so ugly, that I felt I needed to show the man in a harsh light.

I'll start off by saying a good thing about this candidate - he does have a good position on drug addiction, The man believes in treatment and not prisons. There is some good that one can say about the man - especially after seeing this video. (Note: This link points to an article containing the video clip.) Unfortunately, the man is willing to sacrifice the interests of his own state, flip flopping his own positions to further his political ambition and that includes the medical care these addicts need, while placing the blame elsewhere.
That alone should be enough to disqualify him from higher office. But Bridgegate shows that the man's style encouraged a group of staffers to exact political vengeance on a a small time politician (and his town), causing interstate traffic to grind to a halt, and possibly causing a person to die because the ambulance couldn't get the person to the hospital quick enough due to the traffic jam. If Christie knew of this beforehand, he is guilty of misuse of power to further his political goals. And if he didn't know of this, he is an incompetent manager who is not fit to run this country.

Sadly, people like Christie because of his "angry" style. I say, look beyond the style, and you'll see something disgusting inside - and very scary.....
