Yeah, they will. But the extremists will be historically wrong.
John Adams was no slouch as a POTUS, and he was kinda tubby, often pictured with a double chin and a protruding gut.
William Howard Taft was such a lardass that he regularly got stuck in one of the White House bathtubs and had to be helped out.
Then there was Teddy Roosevelt. Teddy was pretty fit and tough, but a lightweight he was not.
So Christie would be in good company as far as his avoirdupois is concerned.
As far as your endorsement is concerned, Richie, c'mon get on the bandwagon with me. I'll endorse Christie in a nanosecond. He's light years better and more electable than all but one of the current GOP candidates.
How long do the think it would take Christie to stick a flamethrower in an appropriate place in some of the word-parsing, negative, obstructionist, unproductive members of Congress?
