Chris Christie: White Working-Class Trump Voters Could Hand 2020 Election to Joe Biden
By Caleb EcarmaApr 24th, 2019, 9:50 am

“Someone who could give [Trump] a run is Joe Biden,” Christie said while on journalist Tina Brown‘s podcast TBD this week. “I say that is because in essence [the 2016] election was decided by 80,000 voters in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, and most of those voters were white working-class voters.”

“I think if you look at the 19 candidates on the other side of the aisle the one who can best have an opportunity to appeal to those white working-class voters is Joe Biden,” he added.

Christie, who was a GOP candidate in the 2016 election who dropped out and threw his support behind Trump relatively early, also argued that there is no “effective way to run against Trump right now from inside the Republican Party.”

He speaks the truth, I don't care what anyone says and Trump needs to listen to his allies. He would be in much better shape if CC had been named AG.

I think in part Trump did not bring CC in because he is quick to shoot his mouth off, like in this piece.

Who cares what CC thinks?  ReallY?  He is a semi disgraced governor of a corrupt state.  NO ONE CARES WHAT CC THINKS, except perhaps his kids.

No, he was not chosen because of Jared Kushner, prosecuted his father, something like this.

Defunded planned parenthood, shut down clinics.

More than a lot of politicians can say.

I doubt it. The white working class is pretty squarely in Trump's corner. Now the middle class, on the other hand... Biden may be a bit more appealing to that demographic.

An observation:
Talk to working class people every day; they're interested in the NFL draft,
the Stanley Cup finals and how they're kids are doing in school.
Most consider Trump a windbag who won't shut the hell up and they don't
give a damn about politics!!!!!

What does Christie know about it? He doesn't even live in America.

@jmyrlefuller

Why would  the middle class vote for Uncle Joe? They have nothing to gain and everything to lose under socialism/communism.

Plus,he is an idiot.

Because he's not a socialist/communist. A liberal, sure, but he's an old-school liberal. Compared to the nuts occupying the Democratic Party these days, Biden almost looks sane.

He lives in NJ! I guess that’s like Mars. I mean Martians did land there! (This explains everything)  :silly:

Ak, Ak!

@jmyrlefuller

He doesn't know what he is,or what socialism,communism,or liberal even means. He is a freaking idiot,convinced by his stupidity that he is brillant.

Perhaps not a fabrication just the view point of the liberal leftist mental midgets.

I concur.  Most don't follow politics.  They just want to be represented but nobody is doing that.  Hard to know who to vote for when you aren't reaping any benefit from your taxes.

And I might add that working class was the Trump base but the things working class need is tax relief and job security.  They need an end to illegal immigration.

If white blue collar workers vote for Biden in a roaring economy, then we're doomed anyway.

I believe younger people have the cumulative results of decades of brainwashing by "educators."

They have been fed propoganda about the environment about diversity, fairness and other buzz words.

The progressive drumbeat works, repetition, peer pressure, name-calling etc.

It works. They have done it since Goldwater and before.

If you think the play of "Trump is a dictator, a Nazi, a Hitler; and so are his supporters" is new, you are very, very naive about politicss, and very gullible too.


It works even better now. Child-like adults want to be liked, and loved, and followed, etc


Professional educators classify college freshmen now, like middle school agers from 30 years ago.

Their parents and teachers groomed them for their obvious stupidity.

A note added to the last sentence.
Today Trump was at the NRA, for his daily rant and rave,
where he told the audience that 400 miles of Wall had already
been constructed and the rest would be completed soon.
The Washington Examiner, a very loyal Trump supporter from
day one, reported the Dept of Defense Agency monitoring Wall
construction confirmed in writing to Congress that 39 miles of
Wall had been finished as of this April.
This is the essence of Trump; a compulsive windbag who makes
it up as he yaps and the truth is irrelevant.
Yet his fans remain oblivious.
