About this audiobook
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.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Chris is a politician so the book showed me his side. He hammered Joe Biden while sugarcoating Trump. He keeps going back to Reagan. I remember there was over 200 indictments and North went to jail. Chris is just another talker. We need a guy like Ike. What about all the dark money Koch brothers give to your party. Try and mention in next book

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great listen and I loved the author reading his work
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5a savvy politician with a different perspective of recent political events
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent analysis of the problems the GOP faces today. Although the critique is solid, I don't think Christie was forceful enough of his laying the blame squarely at the feet of Trump and all those who enabled him. Jason Greene, Moderate Republican, US Army Retired, husband and dad, Christian and citizen. We must do better.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent book by Gov. Christie at a time when Republicans are at a crossroads. After reading this book I would 100% vote for him for President if he ever decides to run.
