Giuliani: Maybe ISIS Would Be Afraid of a ‘Decisive’ Gov. Christie

‘Maybe we need someone who’s blunt after having a president who can’t seem to make a decision’

"Maybe we need that [president with Chris Christie’s temperament] after a period of time in which we have a president who can't seem to make a decision, you know, where you have a president who had no plans for ISIS, who thought ISIS was the J.V., who seems to have had no plan for Ebola. Hey, they're improving now, but they certainly sure took a long time. Maybe we sort of follow that with somebody who has a decisive personality, and maybe that is somebody Putin would pay attention to, as opposed to the president we presently have. And I haven't selected a candidate yet. I'm a big supporter of Jeb Bush also and a whole bunch of the other Republicans, Marco Rubio, Scott Walker, and I left out probably a few other friends, Mitt Romney. So -- but I don't know.

Maybe the American people will be looking for something different. They might be looking for a more decisive person in the White House, and there's no question. I don't think even if you're an Obama supporter, there's no question that this president suffers seriously from being behind the curve on almost everything …

Maybe they [ISIS] would be afraid of him, like they were afraid of Ronald Reagan. Remember all those months that the Iranians held the hostages, and then the first day Ronald Reagan was in office, when they took a look in Ronald Reagan's eyes, they set them free. Maybe it isn't so bad if some of our enemies around the world are afraid of our president, and don't hear for the first time when a president speaks, 'I'm not going to put boots on the ground.' The minute you tell me you're not putting boots on the ground, I kind of figure I might get away pretty easy."
