New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was in New Hampshire today, speaking at the state’s Republican Leadership Summit.
.@GovChristie inching toward discussing a possible candidacy, says speaking his truths is an "experiment" that might be worth taking

Following that more formal event, Christie headed to a pub called Shooters for a town hall.
Christie: "done a lot of town halls, but never in a packed bar on Friday night when everyone wants to have a good time."
Crowd: "WHOOOO!"

Christie opens room to questions, loud drunk guy yells: "YO GOV, DO YOU REALLY WANT IT?!?"
Christie: "if I run, you know I really want it"

Things that make you wonder what it is Christie really wants…
Christie on border fence: “There is not a wall or a fence that someone can’t get over or under or through”

Christie on illegal immigrants “No one ever says I came here because ‘I want to vote’ — they want to work”

Christie: I believe climate change is real…the question is how do you address it
— Zeke Miller (@ZekeJMiller) April 17, 2015
Man to Christie. “I think you need a better answer on the climate change question”
— Zeke Miller (@ZekeJMiller) April 17, 2015
Man says Christie did not answer Climate Change question: Christie "It's not that I didn't answer. Its that you want me to have your answer"

Answers like those inspired author Katie Pavlich to make a suggestion of her own.
Chris Christie should run against Hillary….in the Democratic primary

In his favor, nobody threw a beer at the governor, and he did win the state, at least according to one drunk enthusiast.
Christie: “A town hall at a pub worked out generally okay…nobody walked out. Nobody threw a beer at me.”
