I’d like to see Guv Chris Christie on the ticket. Mainly because I like his alternative to ObamaCare. I think his idea of penalizing (not taxing mind you) anybody who buys junk food or bad food in general (high calorie, high sugar, fatty kind of food). You call it a fatty tax…err, penalty and name it after the idea person himself, ChrisCares. I love his idea on going after the fat people out there!!
