Some people think that Chris Christie is much too out of shape to effectively hold office...

150. He's not "disabled." He just needs a trainer and a diet.

He said as much to Oprah.

A person who can't manage their personal life and their personal health is not a good candidate for office, even if he weren't a complete asshole. If he can't take care of himself, why should anyone expect him to be able to take care of the citizens of a state or a nation?

Look at what happened to Thomas Eagleton, when his health came into question. He didn't last long in the Number 2 slot, now, did he?

If FDR ran today, he wouldn't have been able to hide the fact that he was in a wheelchair, which is what he did when he was President. His health would be an issue. Stop dragging him up like he's a viable point of comparison. FDR didn't have control over his condition, first. Christie does--or could, if he were motivated and followed doctor's advice. Second, that was a different era. It bears zero resemblance to today--you might as well talk about George Washington or Andrew Jackson, for all the validity the comparison has.

It's not "ridiculously small matters." It's a sizable matter, having to do with a glaringly visible health problem--and denial by you, and your inappropriate protestations of "bigotry" for daring to mention the painfully obvious, isn't going to change that simple fact.
