After watching the Republican
Presidential debate on Wednesday night, Chris Christie definitely helped
himself in the image of the people. He continued to stress the importance of
having a president who is a law enforcer just like how he would be if he were
the next president of the United States. Before the debate Christie did not
have a lot of support and was very low in the poles, but according to some who
analyzed the debate he did enough to help himself stay in the race and earn
more money for his campaign. According to an article on Bloomberg Politics,
Christie’s closing statement made an impression on the American people because
according to the article, it created a lot of buzz. According to the article,
on Google's interactive replay of searches of the candidates
throughout the debate showed Christie, the governor of New Jersey, hovering in
the lower tier of the 11-person field throughout the debate, and, toward the
end, at the second-to-last spot. Then, when he gave his final answer, he
surged to first place. From his closing statement he wanted to let the
American people know that his presidency would solely about the American people
and he would reward those who have been doing the right thing constantly.
Christie needs to continue to stay with his image of being a law enforcing
president to help his image because for the Americans who do everything they
are suppose to but continue to go nowhere and those who cheat the system
continue to rise, the honest Americans will be more enticed to vote for Christie
so they can be rewarded.
A
strength for the Christie campaign is his experience on the legal side. The
main idea of the campaign is Christie will be a politician who enforces law and
does everything for the people. A weakness that may arise for the campaign is
when Christie closed down Washington Bridge in 2013. Some people might bring up
the argument, “How could Christie enforce laws when he was involved in a
scandal of his own?” A potential opportunity for Christie could involve his
weight. Christie was the first ever governor in New Jersey to qualify as obese.
Christie could use the presidency to possibly become physically fit himself and
to inspire others to do the same. On the other hand, a potential threat would
be Christie’s health causing him to not be able to handle the stress that comes
with the job.
One
of the biggest issues Christie has been vocal about is making marijuana illegal
in the entire country and not leaving it up to individual states to decided. Christie
is also against homosexual marriages, but believes gays can be allowed to form
civil unions and he is pro-life as well. The two that he will highlight the
most are his stances on marijuana for recreational use and his stance on
abortion. The whole issue of whether or not to fund planned parenting has been
a huge issue and Christie should continue to be vocal about his stance on
abortion and being against funding planned parenthood especially after the
videos being made public. This will also help with his image of being a law
enforcer because what Planned Parenthood officials were doing is illegal.
