New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) reportedly assured a room of GOP activists recently that Russian President Vladimir Putin wouldn't dare treat him the way Putin treats President Obama.
...........................
He had trouble selling his audience on a tough stance, the Times reported:
According to an audio recording of the event, he said Mr. Putin had taken the measure of Mr. Obama. I dont believe, given who I am, that he would make the same judgment, Mr. Christie said. Lets leave it at that.
One attendee described Mr. Christies answer as disturbingly heavy on swagger and light on substance. Another called it uncomfortable to watch.
