Gov. Chris Christie blames union money for Republican losses

HANOVER, N.H. – Gov. Chris Christie blames money spent by unions and timing — a midterm election in his second term — for GOP losses in New Jersey’s Assembly election this week, but says he did everything he could to help state Republicans.
While campaigning in New Hampshire on Friday for the Republican presidential nomination, Christie told reporters there was nothing he could do to overcome the millions of dollars spent by a group backed by the state’s teachers union and the fact that incumbents in the same party as the governor always lose seats in the governor’s second term.
Democrats gained at least three seats in the Assembly to increase their majority, and a Democrat is in the lead to take a fourth seat pending final election results.
“The unions in our state decided that they were going to spend millions and millions of dollars, so I think the combination of the second term for a governor, which is always one that loses seats, and the huge way we got outspent, I think, are the two things that contributed the most to it, and there’s nothing I could do about either of those things,” Christie said.

It's not that your team was responsible for bridgegate and that you used Sandy Relief money to pay back favors? Oh, Okay. 
Bye bye Chris bye bye .
To be perfectly honest with you, I don't know what else to blame it on ! On the elections, I made my point of view straight up out front, let the chips fall as they may , I have bigger fish to fry . I admit it,my statement here is straight out of the play book-even if it's your fault ,blame it on the other side. I wish the part about the public has a short memory would hold true .
Dam the torpedoes ,dam the media ,full speed ahead !

Imagine a guy with a serious anger management problem learning how to hold the attention of the audience and at the same time learning to control the explosive personality !
Hypnosis and the art of public speaking !
101, learning to speak
If you wonder why it is he is so mouthy ,it is because he was taught how to flap his jaw ! 101-the beginnings of a monster in the making !
The advanced stuff gets pretty scary !
