Chris Christie has a lot of guts

And he don’t tiptoe!

What quality do YOU most admire in a political leader? At Stately Blaska Manor, we admire courage. We called it “Fight” in “Rating the GOP presidential candidates.” Some call it “guts,” in which case, Chris Christie is ahead on points pounds.

Winston Churchill endured a decade in the political wilderness while he called out the rise of totalitarianism on continental Europe. Tommy Thompson took on the welfare queens. Scott Walker fought the teachers unions. Harry Truman had the intestinal fortitude to fire a vain-glorious war-hero general. Nixon went to China. Ronald Reagan cried, “Tear Down This Wall.” We’ll even accord #45 the badge of courage to demand Europe’s NATO allies pay their fair share. Providential that he did so before Ukraine.

We have no patience with the Mr. Nice Guy candidates who are afraid to go after their opponents. (We do give Mr. Trump a perfect 5 on that score.) If your candidate won’t tell the truth about his opponent, who will? If your candidate won’t push back against Donald Trump, will he push back against Vladimir Putin? Chuck Schumer?

“The person I”m talking about, who is obsessed with the mirror, who never admits a mistake, who never admits a fault, who always finds someone else and something else to blame for whatever goes wrong — but finds every reason to take credit for anything that goes right — is Donald Trump. A lonely, self-consumed, self-serving mirror hog is not a leader.” — Chris Christie.

We thought #45 had a successful presidency but a disgraceful denouement culminating in the insurrection of January 6, 2021. Blaska gets asked why he doesn’t aim more of his poison darts at Joe Biden. Blaska would be happy to answer: Because we can’t save America until we save our party from the Proud Boys, the Election Conspiracists, the Roger Stones, Adam Steens, and assorted crackpots. As well as vile and too numerous Trump supporters like this, who take their tone from their hero:


Name-calling, not truth telling

N.c. Bill Gillette:

David Blaskasshole is, without a doubt, the most repulsive FJB Fanboy and RINO puking out TDS venom on these pages. He is an unreconstructed Tool of the Left, who’s existence depends entirely on the feedback he receives from Men and Women, so superior to him in Intellect, Principle and Rational Thought, that it begs the question; Is he spiraling down into a bottomless Hellhole of Psychosis and Masochism? Answer: Yes… Yes he is and honestly, it couldn’t happen to a more deserving POS! 


Chris Christie In his own words:

I’m running for President of the United States because the truth still matters. We need leaders that are willing to stand up and tell it like it is. That’s what this campaign is about. 

I’m the only candidate who can take on Donald Trump and tell the truth. Every other Republican thinks they can tiptoe around him. I don’t tiptoe.

Get me on the stage and get your popcorn ready.

— Chris Christie’s Facebook page

Big Problem: You don’t get on the debate stage in Milwaukee August 23 unless:

• You show a pulse in national opinion polls,

• Attract 40,000+ individual contributors (Blaska put in $75 here),

• Pledge to support the eventual nominee. Christie can’t make that commitment without giving the lie to his message. As for Donald Trump, he rescinded his pledge in 2016 and hasn’t pledged since.

Blaska’s Bottom Line: Pusillanimous doesn’t play at the Policy Werkes.

Is YOUR popcorn ready?

    Approval rating of 15% when he left the Governor’s office does not bode well, however.

      That’s in New Jersey. A state the GOP has not taken since George H.W. Bush in 1988.

        Christie might put New Jersey’s 14 electoral votes in play. A Republican came within 3 percentage points of beating Gov. Phil Murphy, the incumbent Democrat, in November 2021.

          Sorry, more specifically: 15% approval rating does not bode well for the general election; if he’s not electable in the end, what’s the point?

    Ugly wife means no confidence. Pass.

      “If you want to be happy for the rest of your life
      Never make a pretty woman your wife.
      So for my personal point of view
      Get an ugly girl to marry you.” — Jimmy Soul.

        Could play out in the debate.

        “Say man! Hey baby!
        I saw your wife the other day!
        Yeah? Yeah, an’ she’s ugly!
        Yeah, she’s ugly, but she sure can cook, baby!
        Yeah, alright!”

          The Gotch married his lovely and long suffering wife for (amongst myriad other superb qualities) her looks…but not the ones she’s been giving him lately…
