3. He's a bully

From the New York Times

While his supporters have celebrated his attacks on Democrats, Mr. Christie has drawn criticism for going after average citizens with the same gusto. TMZ.com this month posted a video that captured him taunting a man who had apparently criticized the governor’s battles with teachers one evening on the Jersey Shore.

As the man walked away, Mr. Christie, who was eating an ice cream cone, followed him, repeatedly hollering, “You’re a real big shot” and “Keep walking,” until another man put an arm around the governor and led him away.

A Quinnipiac poll released on Tuesday showed the percentage of voters calling him more of a leader than a bully dropping to 50 percent from 54 percent in April, while the percentage of those calling him more of a bully than a leader rose to 45 percent from 39 percent.
