I believe in my heart that I am ready to work to restore America to its rightful place in the world.
Chris Christie
I never wrote a check to Planned Parenthood.
Chris Christie
No parent at home is saying my gosh, if we can just get a higher minimum wage, all of our aspirations have been realized.
Chris Christie
Let me be clear: America and the world are measurably less safe and less respected because of the Iran deal Hillary Clinton helped cut.
Chris Christie
I'd rather have my teeth drilled than listen to that awful song, 'Fly, Eagles Fly.'
Chris Christie
Quite frankly, we have seen liberal policies in cities like Chicago, like New York and others, have led to increased crime.
Chris Christie
It's easy for people to be characterized in public life based upon their personality, and I have a very direct, blunt personality. And I understand why some people would then characterize that, especially people who don't like you, as bullying, but it's not that.
Chris Christie
The first thing we need to do to make America stronger is to strengthen our military.
Chris Christie
They said it was impossible to touch the third rail of politics, to take on public-sector unions and to reform a pension and health benefits system that was headed to bankruptcy. But with bipartisan leadership, we saved taxpayers $132 billion dollars over 30 years and saved retirees their pensions. We did it.
Chris Christie
This president [Barack Obama] has had weak leadership, which has led to bad choices. We have got to stop worrying about being loved and start worrying about being respected. And that's exactly how I'll lead our country.
Chris Christie
I think Governor Romney cares about all the American people.
Chris Christie
I believe we have become paralyzed, paralyzed by our desire to be loved. Now our founding fathers had the wisdom to know that social acceptance and popularity were fleeing, and that this country's principles needed to be rooted in strengths greater than the passions and the emotions of the times.
Chris Christie
Today is the day for the complaining to end and for statesmanship to begin. Today I am taking action to cut state spending and balance the budget this year.
Chris Christie
We cannot make the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the United States someone who has risked America's secrets and lied about this to Congress and the American people about it day after day after day.
Chris Christie
What is Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton done to this country? That the most basic responsibility of an administration is to protect the safety and security of the American people.
Chris Christie
Hillary Rodham Clinton was America's chief diplomat. So let's look around at the violence and danger in our world today in every region of the world that has been infected with her flawed judgment.
Chris Christie
I am not going to make any commitments to the teachers union to do anything until they do something that's other than in their own self-interest. And everything they have done so far is in their self-interests, and that's it.
Chris Christie
The bottom line is that I have a job to do to help get the new administration ready. If there's some role for me that I want to do and the president-elect wants me to do - we've known each other 14 years. We'll talk about it.
Chris Christie
The fact is that, once you are the person - and Ms.[Hillary] Clinton is the person who injected this type of commentary [bigot] into this race [2016] - once you inject that type of commentary into this race, you can't then sit back and start complaining about it or have some of your handmaidens in the media complain about it.
Chris Christie
I think what he [Donald Trump] has said is that people are not going to be eligible for legalization or citizenship unless they leave the country and get back in line.
