Publisher's summary

Enough with the infighting, the truth-denying, the wild conspiracy claims, the looking backward, and the refusal to focus on the dangerous Biden agenda. Here’s Chris Christie’s urgent guide for recapturing Republican glory and winning elections again, told with all the New Jersey frankness and news-breaking insights that have made the two-term governor, Trump early endorser, and presidential candidate an indispensable voice and instant New York Times best-selling author.

As governor of New Jersey and a key Trump insider and longtime friend, Chris Christie has always been known for speaking his mind. Now that the depressing 2020 election is finally behind us, he shares his bold insights on how a battered Republican Party can soar into the future and start winning big elections again.

The wrong answers are everywhere. Dangerous conspiracy theorists. A tired establishment. Truth deniers and political cowards. In Republican Rescue, Christie reveals exactly how absurd grievances and self-inflicted wounds sabotaged Donald Trump’s many successes and allowed Democrats to capture the White House, the House, and Senate in two years - a first for the GOP since the days of Herbert Hoover. In his frank and compelling voice, Christie dissects the last year of the Trump administration - which provoked nothing but conspiracy theories and infighting - and he lays out an honest and hopeful vision, explaining how Republicans can capture the future and save America from today’s damaging Democratic excesses.

The core Republican values of Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and Ronald Reagan are as relevant now as they’ve ever been, Christie writes. Opportunity for all. A strong national defense. Leaders we can all be proud of. Americans in charge of their own lives. A federal government that answers to the people - not the other way around. But these Republican ideals need to be reinvigorated with fresh clarity and open arms. Christie watched in horror as some in his beloved party embraced paranoia and explained away violence. Determined to restore the party’s integrity and success, he shows how to build a movement voters will flock to again, a Republicanism that’s blunt, smart, conservative, potent, and perfectly suited for the 21st century.

Taken with a grain of salt

Despite being a shameless self promoter Christie makes some valid points designed, probably in futility, to move the GOP away from the stain of Trumpism.

Republicans would be smart to take his advice

Well written and presented with reason and facts. Typical, he told it as he saw it. Republicans do need to return to a sound policy position on the issues not on a personality. The party would be wise to listen to the advice in this book. So would Republican voters. Worth the read.

one of the few sane Republicans

Interesting take on the 2020 election from one of the few Republicans not fully taken in by the Trump cult

Authentic, good insights, and political strategy

The book is interesting to hear because Chris tells it in an honest authentic way, that you know is true. He doesn’t sugar coat it. Great insights about the Trump administration, who he supports, both good and bad. Interesting recount of past presidential history, use of conspiracy theories and what happened in the end. He debunks the conspiracy theories of today and calls on Republicans to reject the crazies. Chris highlights the weaknesses of the current Biden administration and outlines his vision for the future. It is rational, clear and easy to support. I enjoyed this book. Smart ideas. Definitely recommend reading his first book “Let Me Finish” first, if you can. Great insights why Kushner didn’t like Chris and why Christie was justified in putting his father behind bars. Short book, worth reading. It’s great to hear the reading from Governor Christie himself.

OUTRAGEOUS!!!!

An OUTRAGEOUS assessment of the currrent Republican party , and the hard choices for the future.

Excellent Book

I really enjoyed this book. The author was sincere in his views. I did not always agree with some of his comments however, he showed courage and integrity in his comments and solutions. Here is a true leader . I wish more individuals could follow his example.

As a Democrat I thoroughly appreciated your book.

Actually I agree with a lot of what said.

I think you spoke very well in your book and I think you would make a good President. I am very happy with you deciding to narrate your book yourself. I do disagree on a few things but I agreed with way more than disagree. I'm not sure how you view the conservative Christian Nationalism Republicans are now pushing very heavily. I don't know how you feel about Roe v Wade being overturned either. If you disagree with our rights being taken away, the banning of books, and integrating religion into schools then I would support you 100%. You would need to want to codify Roe into law, stop the book banning, and keep church and state separate in order for me to vote for you. I wanted to write this in my review simply because you're the 1st Republican I see as a viable choice to lead our country and I don't know how else to reach you. Anyway, the book was awesome! I'll be checking out your other books. Thank you for writing this book!

Excellent Listen

Very interesting perspective from the former Governor he gives a lot to think about for the upcoming elections.

Thanks for moving away from Trump! (From an independent)

One thing that I probably never forget about the republicans is the fact that they nominated and supported such an acid candidate and amazingly flawed person as Donald Trump. But this book I think is a good first step towards setting DJT on the past and potentially evaluate republican candidates again.

Would be awesome to see the Republican Party rebuilt themselves with their fundamental values in mind as Chris describes: a critical first step is to acknowledge the truth and move away from conspiracy theories. That's why is critical for you -republican - guys shut down Trump asap. I will not vote for a guy who encouraged an angry mob to attack our Capitol. Never.

I liked the book and Chris’s ideas and ideals on the 3rd part.

Common Sense

Governor Christi tells it like it is. The Republican Party should embrace his philosophy and spread the news to reunite the party. Get away from all the conspiracy garbage and down to business to truly make America Great!
