“Chris Christie Is Again The Debate's Straight Talker” Statement from TILII PAC Chair Bill Palatucci
ARLINGTON, VA — Bill Palatucci, Chairman of Tell It Like It Is PAC, issued the following statement after the second Republican presidential debate held at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute:
“Once again, Chris Christie was the only candidate on the debate stage willing to answer every question - directly and without putting his finger in the air to test the political winds. The Governor is the only candidate tonight warning Republicans of the pending electoral disaster next November if we nominate the former President with his four indictments, distractions and drama. Can't wait to see him with President Trump on the debate stage in Miami on November 8th."
Below is a sampling of what others are saying about Chris Christie’s debate performance:

Heath Mayo, Principles First: Chris Christie with the best answer of the night in my book—on foreign policy. Vision, passion, strategy and courage, all in one. Weaken the Sino-Russian alliance on all fronts. An answer worthy of Reagan’s shadow.
Frank Luntz: Chris Christie is clearly appealing to the ‘peace through strength’ crowd. And his straight-to-camera appeal makes it powerful. #GOPDebate

Hugo Lowell, The Guardian: Chris Christie with the best answer of the night — degrading Russia’s military thru Ukraine aid bc Putin wants to bring back the Soviet Union
Heath Mayo, Principles First: Chris Christie has the most presidential moments of anyone on the stage. By far. That answer on being pro-life for the whole life was presidential.
Philip Wegmann, RealClearPolitics: "If you're pro life, you've gotta be pro-life for the entire life," Christie says citing need to care also for the "drug-addicted 16 year-old on the floor of the county lockup."
Geraldo Rivera: Chris Christie is toughest, best vs Trump…
