Oh, good. So, n=1 after all.
I wish it was only 1. Hence why I refuse to deal with BoA.

Oh. After all that talk about producing something, it's just another commission-based sales job?
Fair enough. However, you also equated a sales career to "hustling" which....while a widespread opinion....is really not fair. Yes, there are some con artists out there trying to sell things to people that they do not need...and they give the career a bad name. However, if a sales person is selling a quality product at a fair price to a person who needs that product or service, he is performing a necessary service for that person. For example, one of the areas in which I worked involved smaller family businesses with fewer than 25 employees. I convinced many of these small business owners to set up payroll deduction plans in which employees could establish regular contributions to IRA, RIRA or SEP accounts. These plans involved no cost to the employer unless he wanted to match a portion of the employee's contribution. The administrative costs for 401K plans made them unattractive for many small business owners, and without a way to automatically contribute to a retirement plan, many of those employees just never got around to saving anything. The employer had the option to match part of the contribution or not....but even if he decided to do so, it served as a low-cost way to provide an important employee benefit which improved employee morale & reduced turnover...which can be an expensive operating cost when you have to retrain new employees. I don't see how this can fairly be call "hustling." Everybody wins here. The employee provides for his retirement, when he might not have otherwise been doing so. The employer has more appreciative employees & reduces turnover at no or low cost. And I earn a commission.
Christie sounds pretty strong when he's defending his governorship. He has a good handle on the numbers, the policies, the intricacies of politics - and there's a lot of criticism to counter.
He sounds incredibly weak when he's propping up his role fighting terrorism as some kind of national leader and cowboy who took down scores of terrorists and saved America. His oversimplified view of surveillance programs is just a ridiculous stance to take. You can't just say the ends justify the means so shut the hell up at this point.
The fact that he's oblivious to this plays more to the nearsighted bully politician persona than it does the legitimate presidential candidate one.
Nobody in the GOP had foreign policy experience comparable to Hillary. They better hope it isn't an issue.

“Government shouldn’t be in the business of financing private sports stadiums,” said the Koch brothers-backed group Americans for Prosperity Wisconsin. “The current deal is based on fuzzy math, complicated accounting and millions of taxpayer dollars. Whether it comes from the state, the county, the city or other authority, these are taxpayer dollars.” The Libertarian CATO Institute added: “Any presidential candidate who believes that taxpayer-subsidized stadiums are ‘a good deal’ shouldn’t be anywhere near the federal Treasury.”
On the very day that Walker began pushing for taxpayers to foot much of the bill for the new arena, one of the team’s owners donated $150,000 to his super PAC. The investor, Jon Hammes, has donated directly to Walker’s past campaigns, as well, to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars, and this year, Walker hired him as his national finance co-chairman. Another Bucks owner, Ted Kellner, gave $50,000 to Walker’s Super PAC.
