Reader comment on item: Why Chris Christie Will Never Be President of the United States
in response to reader comment: reply to UK
Submitted by Nick (United Kingdom), Aug 11, 2011 at 19:11
Being UK? You seem to not even be able to write coherent sentences.... I am an American who has been living in the UK for over 10 years now, not that that is at all relevant to my comments. Why would my comments be 'suspect' re: US politics? I know many people in the ex-pat community here from the US, we all share pretty much the same views, it is interesting to see how people believe only
Nothing of what you said really makes any sense to be honest. There have been fine Presidents since Ronald Reagan, and I am not convinced that Reagan was an exceptional president.
I don't believe you hold a monopoly on knowing our Constitution, and I stand 100% by my comments re: Chris Christie. There is nothing questionable about his appointment.
