Shaq Endorses Christie for Governor

[theworldismine13]

Christie has a very high chance of winning if he runs, a lot of calculations are done assuming black people will vote 90 percent democratic but if that doesn't happen all assumptions are out the window and that is what is happening http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ss...ds_in_battle_with_buono_for_black_voters.html

If Christie gets more than 10 percent of the black vote nationally you can put a fork in Hillary

christie never struck me as being cacish, so i have no problem with this

 

[The Real]

so ill take a wild guess that those views that qualify somebody as an idiot are those political views that you disagree with, thats some good old circular logic there buddy

Unfortunately, your wild guess is off the mark. I don't think everyone who disagrees with my political views is an idiot. Some are, though- people who believe in reptilian conspiracies, for example.

So you are putting Shaq, a well respected member of the black community at the same level as conspiracy theorists? And your evidence for his idiocy is that he endorsed Christie?

that's a lot of hate breh, maybe you need to take political chill pill

The reasons for his Black support are incumbency, which always provides an advantage, media visibility, which affects uneducated voters (that's most of the voting public,) and his connections with Booker, a visible, Black politician with a pseudo-celebrity status. None of these will be easily translatable on the national stage, since he won't be an incumbent (and if he's running against Hillary, she'll actually be able to net some of that incumbent aura,) Booker won't endorse him over whoever the Democratic candidate is/the Dem candidate will have the support of other hyper-visible Black leaders, Obama included, and his media status won't be significantly greater than the Dem candidate, especially if it's Hillary.

You're trolling extra hard today, I see. I don't think Shaq is on the same level as conspiracy theorists, and I never even implied such a thing. You asked me a general question about what qualified as idiocy to me, I gave you one example. My evidence for my statement about Shaq specifically is his general flip-flopping, uninformed affiliations, and buying the most transparent political rhetoric.

You sound stressed

You sound stressed

Why would I be stressed? 2016 is a long way away. I just made some generally empirical analyses that don't reflect any particular desires or political beliefs.

You seem desperate to make some point, but I don't understand what it is. What's got you so prickly today?

Why do you take a paragraph to repeat what is just said, you think Shaq is an idiot because he endorsed Christie

And in your opinion Shaq and conspiracy theorists are all idiots

I'm trolling be repeating what you said?

I'm just cracking up at the reaction to this news

I already said why I thought Shaq was an idiot, and it goes beyond endorsing Christie. And yes, conspiracy theorists are also idiots, but for different reasons. That doesn't mean they're all on the same level. Honestly, why are you grasping for straws here? Why are you so desperate for a "gotcha" moment?

 

[Serious]

I don't think anyone called shaq an idiot. more like self-serving(Shaq Towers). Shaq is a career / goal minded / business savy person who knows how to market himself. He also yields a Ph.D. Not to mention he'll probably never be one of those athletes who goes broke....

I'm desperate for a gotcha moment cuz it's funny as hell

You are literally getting mad at me for repeating what you said, you think Shaq is an idiot for endorsing Christie and some other reasons, but he is not an idiot in the same level as conspiracy theorist who in your mind occupy a different level of idiocy

Did I get it right?
