Joe Klein: “It was an exhilarating 90 minutes, and not only because of Christie’s candor. We knew the attacks on Trump were coming. But the surprise—and I must say, it was a relief—was the joy that came from watching a terrific stand-up politician at work. I had almost forgotten what that was like.”
“Christie speaks plain English. He is self-deprecating. He was fluent and reasonable—even when I disagreed with his positions—on a broad swath of issues.”
