I don't know what to tell you, the reason why people like Christie appeal to the GOP in general is because he's a tremendous asshole who tries his best to fuck over common people (see: NJ teachers, people in unions, etc), although embracing Obama during Hurricane Sandy probably put a dent in that somewhat. I'm not quite sure what the GOP has to do to drill it into your head, but when the George Bushes or Mitt Romneys of America tell you they only give a shit about a small segment of the country, they're not mincing words.
