Washington Week Analysis

Chris Christie’s level of popularity is very low because of not gaining people’s attention, not backing up his words, and not competing. Gaining people’s attention with actions and speeches was something he was lacking, and he never stood out in any important decisions he made. Being known for something he did that was very important to the whole United States is something he haven’t done yet. Many years before he became government, he has dealt with terrorism and it was a major part of his career at the time (Elliot). Not backing up his words also brought attention and supporters away from him, he has been caught up in a lie plenty of times and according to media, people are fed up with that. Another problem with Chris Christie is that he does not know how to compete to standout. Chris Christie’s level of competiveness is very low. Chris Christie has never been competitive and is one of the main reasons he is not a good

Chris Christie just endorsed the Donald. Even after Christie is on camera saying he doesn't want an entertainer as a president and also they evidently ran against each other. John Harwood which seems to be a Federalist said the reason for the recent endorsement is “The both really like the spotlight.” They say that they also have the same view on Hillary Clinton and Christie thinks Trump has the best plans to beat her. The next topic of discussion was Trump and the other two Candidates Rubio and Cruz. Rubio and Cruz during the last debate kept throwing punches at Trump. Susan Davis a Congressional Reporter for NPR which is leading to the left side of the room says “This needed to be happening five to six months ago.” The majority of the speakers

In “The Rise of the Washington Establishment” by Morris P. Fiorina, he stats his overall theory about the establishment that is Washington. Fiorina mainly focuses on congress men and their wishes, but also mentions bureaucrats and voters. To start off, Fiorina makes 3 major assumptions about the establishment. First, people act in their own interest. That’s not always negative, it just means people are going to go after their own dreams and wishes. Second, the primary goal of a congressman is to be re-elected. Hopefully, it is so they can continue benefitting the people that they represent. Lastly, the voters will benefit from those they elect into power. Therefore, both sides win, the congressman gets re-elected and the people get a voice

In Bj Gallagher’s article “Donald Trump Is the Epitome of Everything the World Detests -- And Admires -- About America”(Sep.2, 2015), She Implies the positive and negative attributes in Donald Trump, and whether you should vote for him or not. Gallagher first demonstrates by showing the negatives of Donald Trump and his “arrogance” in an article written by Paul Thomas; Gallagher then argued the positive, admirable side of him by comparing his life to one we would all like to live, and to conclude she suggests that Trump is a “fresh breath of air” for millions of Americans by demonstrate that he is unique compared to past presidential leaders. Her purpose is to surpass his brash ego in order to to show he is worth putting your trust in.

This is the simple way to look at this is, that Christie wants Donald Trump to be president because he likes Trump and believes in what Trump stands for. Another way of looking at it is, he may be speaking this way to kiss up to Trump, so that he can get put on a good position within the white house.

Establishment Republicans are not sniggering at Donald Trump’s antics anymore, especially as he threatens to go solo in November if party insiders scheme to deny him the nomination. Echoes of similarly irate conservative Teddy Roosevelt and his “Bull Moose” party sinking the Republican (GOP) national campaign in 1912 get louder every time Trump wins a primary state. After the real estate mogul announced his candidacy in June last year, party leaders contentedly sat back in the peanut gallery ridiculing his naked attempts at demagoguery. Later, they dismissed Trump’s surging poll numbers as an electoral blip sparked by fringe sections of the party base that loathed the GOP’s handling of Congress.

Though not itemizing each reason that justifies his decision to abort his defense for Trump, Ryan, like other prominent Republicans, does have an assortment of reasons to be weary. Among the many potential concerns, Draper heightens that the most stringent apprehension amongst establishment Republicans lies with Trump’s disregard for the “fine print” within the oval office. Additionally, Trump’s many accusatory notions of both the primary and general election being rigged does not comfort the establishment party base which he is in fact condemning. Consequently, Draper anecdotes that this spurt of drama within the GOP has ultimately given Hilary Clinton a rise in the polls, with CNN reporting her margin leading 59 to

A capable governor transforming the devastated aftermath of the hard-hit post-disaster New Jersey back to former vibrancy, now a promising nominee for 2016 American Presidential Election with earsplitting comments on governmental failure, Chris Christie, in my opinion, deserves to be in the limelight in 2013 and the beginning of 2014. In spite of reading just a few articles about the man of the year, I managed to form a relatively suitable view of Christie’s way of thinking, thought

In C. M. Harris’s journal article Washington's Gamble, L'Enfant's Dream: Politics, Design, and the Founding of the National Capital published in “The William and Mary Quarterly, Third Series, Vol. 56, No. 3 (Jul., 1999)”, Harris address the foundation of the national capital city and the political and economic issues it underwent. Indeed, throughout this historical timeline of the National City, Harris enounce main key moments that lead to establishment of Washington D. C’s urban plan. One of them that has been thoroughly discussed was the appointment of French-American architect and civil engineer Pierre Charles L'Enfant (who was also an artist of Baroque tradition) as the designer of the national city master plan in the winter of 1777-1778

After announcing his presidential bid almost, a year ago, Texas Senator Ted Cruz predictably wasted little time in mobilizing a relentless campaign effort to win the Iowa Caucus. He spent millions of dollars on advertisements, hosted town halls in each of the state’s ninety-nine counties, and crucially secured several high-profile endorsements, eventually culminating in an impressive, improbable upset win on February 1st. Later that evening, following official confirmation of his first-place finish, as well as unofficial proclamations of his frontrunner status, Cruz gave an impassioned thirty-minute victory speech to his campaign volunteers at his headquarters in Des Moines. A skilled orator, he triumphantly expounds how his success in

Rand Paul was also right to attack Chris Christie for hugging Barack Obama. That hug help Obama got elected in 2012. I don't understand why Republicans are defending Chris Christie. Christie doesn't care about the Conservatives. And he certainly doesn't care about the 9/11 families.

In the beginning of Washington’s farewell letter, he warns his fellow friends and country about danger coming ahead.

When the governor utters statements and speeches which have the professional taint, it removes him from that pedestal and becomes another politician.” Goldwater on the other hand, reserved his abuse for the governor in a loftier fashion, but kept his attention on the administration giving him a loftier tone than the others. By their calculations, the candidate needed to “return to the pedestal enjoyed by the Rockefeller legend.” This debate within the Rockefeller campaign gets to the crux of his appeal, hence the difficulty of pulling all of the different parts together to vault him into the higher echelon. He was a compelling figure with a pedigree unlike any other in America, yet, his advisors often times wanted him to straddle the line between being a man of the people and a cut above the rest.

The political arena is now turning into a political playground. Donald Trump and one of his opponents, Marco Rubio, have begun to viciously attack one another leading into Super Tuesday. Name calling and personal attacks were made by both candidates. Despite all of their immature behavior, the governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie, had announced his endorsement of Trump for President of the United States. Governor Christie believes Donald is, “providing strong leadership that's not dependent on the status quote.” Chris Christie and Donald Trump, both share feelings of repugnance for Hillary Clinton. However, Christie's endorsement was not solely based upon the fact that they both feel the same for Hillary, ultimately it was due to the fact that he believes Trump can win back the White house for the Republican Party.
