Hardcore liberal here. Takes major balls for him to come on this show. Kudos.

"Explain that to me"
That's nice to hear. It would be nice to hear it more often, from both sides.

[aarcoh]

"Let Me Finish" would be a great title for a comedy tour by Louie C.K.

Mad respect for Chris Christe. Great interview.

[lougrand]

I've always liked Christie because he's real. You can tell it's genuine and not an act. That was a great interview

[asm-]

Wow he’s honest and self deprecating and a good sport... did not expect that

[BILEAK]

This is a model conversation for how our political discourse in the United States should be.

[DannySullivanMusic]

Christie's great at thinking on his toes. The next step: being able to see his toes.

[DadjokesU]

Christie made himself look smart here. He handled Bill very well. A pretty well matched debate, I'd say.

[Datboi]

I've watched Christie on a lot of shows and he seems like a legit guy. One of the few Republicans that can have an adult, sincere conversation without just reverting to talking points.

[MylesHSG]

Fair play to any conservative that goes on real time. They know they ain't going to get it easy.

[ZachTheRantingGuy]

I definitely have gained a lot of respect for Chris Christie, it took a lot of guts for him to come onto Bill's show. Respect!

[kayrosis]

Politician: yeah, to be honest I did it just for the money
Host: WOW, honesty from a politician!

[AxJames]

Let's be Honest here: He needs to get Fit and this guy would turn into a strong candidate for the presidency. He is a "Bridge candidate" likeable on both sides.

[nahuelma]

I'm impressed with how likable he seems. And I also like that he's open about disagreeing with Trump

[Desolate-Utopia]

While Christie has rubbed me the wrong way more than a few times over the years, you can't deny that he's a charismatic guy.

[SFK]

Chris Christie is really going all out on the "please like me" tour.

[wasabiimenace]

I am kind of over the Chris Christie fat jokes. It's not funny anymore when this guy is actually smart

[DisenfranchisedLiberal]

This is actually a super cool conversation.
Bill's always been great at reaching across the aisle and engaging with others who disagree with him. Given the times, that's especially refreshing to see.
I'm a liberal, but kudos to Chris Christie for participating in the interview.

[Monkthegod]

Finally someone willing to admit that Trump is held to a lower standard then Obama. All these blind people foolishly saying that Obama had it the easiest and cant back it up.
