More quotes by Chris Christie
In the eight years before I became governor, there was zero net private sector job growth in New Jersey. Zero. For eight years.
Chris Christie
I don't hide my emotions from people. I am not a focus-group tested, blow-dried candidate or governor.
Chris Christie
Insisting that we must tax and take and demonize those who have already achieved the American Dream. That may turn out to be a good re-election strategy for President Obama, but is a demoralizing message for America.
Chris Christie
What do you think the appropriate role of government is in society? The way I look at this job is, you want me to do X? Well, is the private sector doing X with any kind of success? Because if they are, I'd rather have them do it than have us do it.
Chris Christie
When the president of the United States says he's going to do something, he needs to do it. That makes not only our adversaries more emboldened. It makes our allies more nervous.
Chris Christie
Only in America, where someone like me could have the opportunity to seek the highest office the world has to offer. Not only can all of us achieve whatever dream we want to achieve because of the place where we live and the opportunities it gives us, but that we not only can do it together, but we have to do it together!
Chris Christie
I think the presidency is much too serious a thing to just play politics with.
Chris Christie
If I cannot trust someone's judgment, I cannot ask others to do so, and I would not place him at the head of my political operation.
Chris Christie
I think people hear the question they want to hear.
Chris Christie
New Jersey was threatened like no other region in this country and what we did was we took action within the constitution to make sure that law enforcement had all the information they needed.
Chris Christie
As a former federal prosecutor, I welcome the opportunity to hold Hillary Rodham Clinton accountable for her performance and her character.
Chris Christie
I'm a former federal prosecutor, I've fought terrorists and won and when we get back in the White House we will fight terrorists and win again and America will be safe.
Chris Christie
Rudy [Giuliani] can talk about whatever he wants to talk about. He's my friend, I like him a lot and respect him, but I don't talk about the advice I give to Donald Trump.
Chris Christie
This is a president [Barack Obama] who came into office in 2008 with a big majority in the House and with a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. Because of his policies and his conduct in office, seven years later, we have our largest majority in the House since 1928, and we have a majority in the Senate and we have 31 of the 60 governorships.
Chris Christie
People have the absolute right to preach and to think and to say whatever they believe, and at the same time those beliefs can't be used as the basis for denying other people their equal rights and their equal freedom.
Chris Christie
I never wrote a check to Planned Parenthood.
Chris Christie
This is a guy [Donald Trump] who has been very consistent on no amnesty, no legalization, for folks who have been coming to the country illegally.
Chris Christie
If I missed my moment, I missed my moment. I mean, I wasn't pining to be president of the United States.
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
I'm not in the business of satisfying everybody. I'm in the business of trying to satisfy the people who elected me governor.
Chris Christie
