What Christie and Trump have in common and maybe we should be concerned with it.

I will say this is my personal thoughts.. if this needs to be locked okay.


Watching Trump today I realized he is nothing more than a bully. We all know Christie is a bully. Think about it when you where in school you probably saw both these types of bullies. Christie is sort of the "working class" (sorry I offended ) but he reminds me of the type who comes blue collar neighborhood who gets in your face. If Christie could would punch someone but he can't so he yells shut up.

Trump on the other hand is the silver spoon bully. Uses his money to bully people.


What should be our concern is how much power and attention we give these type of people The country as a whole are like the kids on the sideline of whatever fight the bullies are picking claiming to root for the underdog but in reality they are enjoying the actions of the bully.


So there is Trump on top of the polls and only after 6 years are we seeing the slow fall of Christie... and how often I hear People in my area who basically thrilled with trump and Christie stating this is how the country should act.

I find it so disheartening to see and hear the Trump audience members chuckling in response to Trumps mean and bullying (very non-Presidential) statements, just like on a playground.

There are some very immature, dysfunctional people out there.

Anyone who works with the public will tell you that, and I am sure I am not telling you anything new.

These candidates are like magnets for their ilk, and now you see that segment of the population in one room, putting their dysfunction and prejudice on display.

It's been said here before: the slugs we have in office actually do represent a percentage of the population.
