BELMONT,
N.H. – While campaigning recently during happy hour at Shooter’s Tavern here in
this small New Hampshire community, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) related
a pair of personal anecdotes to elucidate why he thinks the United States
should change the way it handles drug addicts.
After
speaking in highly personal terms about his late mother’s smoking addiction,
Christie recounted an emotional story about a law school friend who became
addicted to prescription painkillers.
Although Christie has failed to move the needle in national polls, he has been well received in more intimate New Hampshire town halls. Watch the above video, an outtake from a recent episode of ’16 And President, to see why it may be a mistake to count Christie out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination just yet. And watch the full episode here.
