Christie: Candidates Talk More About Themselves than the People

‘Candidates are talking too much about themselves and not enough about the people they want to serve’

KILMEADE: “One thing that was clear to me from the -- when you had your introduction and you said I want the cameras on the people in the audience, because that's what this is about. All your comments, that seemed to be the theme. At what point during your -- during this campaign, did you realize that had to be the theme for you to break through?”

CHRISTIE: “Well, Brian, what I was talking about was what I’ve heard and felt from the 22 Town Hall meetings I’ve done in New Hampshire which is people really feel like these candidates are talking too much about themselves, and not enough about the people that they want to serve. And so we need to be out there talking about their concerns, and their problems. You know, they are loaded -- their kids are loaded with student debt. They’re having trouble paying their bills. They feel like they've suffered from the worst economic recession recovery since World War II. And they feel like this president is acting lawlessly and his secretary of state, former secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, caught the same disease. They want us talking about them and their concerns. And not about each other. And that's what I tried to bring to the debate last night.”
