LOL @ Christie being VP or even thinking he can be a candidate for President.

He's a 400 pound blowhard from the north. Americans hate people from up north, Italian in particular, and see us Italians as corrupt violent ethnics who take pride in people like John Gotti and behave like the cast of Jersey Shore or Mob Wives.

That's why such shows are popular. America sees these shows as a window into the world of Italian-Americans.
