    Chris Christie Kicked Off Amtrak Quiet Car For Talking On His Phone

    Chris Christie broke the cardinal rule of Amtrak etiquette.
    The Republican New Jersey governor, who is well-known for his blunt personality, was spotted on an Amtrak Acela train to New York following his Sunday show appearance in Washington, D.C., disturbing the holy silence of the quiet car.
    The presidential candidate, who has not found much traction in the polls, was apparently very animated in his phone conversation and kept repeating, “this is frickin’ ridiculous” and “seriously?! seriously?!”
    According to a fellow rider (and hero) who wrote in to Gawker:

    He got on last minute yelling at his two secret service agents I think because of a seat mixup, sat down and immediately started making phone calls on the quiet car. After about 10 minutes the conductor asked him to stop or go to another car. He got up and walked out again yelling at his secret service. He was drinking a McDonald’s strawberry smoothie.

    Hillary in the same situation would have been much ruder, but you wouldn't catch Her Highness riding Amtrak!

    Christie is toast anyway, hopefully Hillary is also.

    Well after all, when he continues to see his poll numbers drop next to nothing on a continuous basis with one who was once thought to be the Republican front-runner, that's got to really sting and cause emotions to become quite dramatic.
    Let's see how much care and compassion Trump and Republicans show for their fellow Americans to truly help them out in their time of need.

    Let's start the count to see if Trump comes through on the many things he promised to do for Americans. If he doesn't, along with a Republican Congress, then what's his and their excuse?

    Christie is toast. Hillary is FAR from ever being that. She is slated to become the Democratic Presidential Nominee and Americans from everywhere are donating now more than ever and supporting her especially after seeing her stellar performance at the recent Republican-led Benghazi hearings.

    What a stupid waste of a story. I'm not defending Christi, hell I don't even like him, but seriouy ?? From the link; ....... " On a very full train this morning, the Governor accidentally took a seat in Amtrak's notorious quiet car," Smith told HuffPost. "After breaking the cardinal rule of the quiet car, the Governor promptly left once he realized the serious nature of his mistake and enjoyed the rest of his time on the train from the cafe car. Sincere apologies to all the patrons of the quiet car that were offended."
    Another passenger who was sitting at Christie's table corroborated that account" ........ HuffyPoo needs to get a life.
    It's ok if you disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    So, he was not thrown off but left voluntarily? That changes the entire dynamics of the story huh?
    Why does the article say Chris Christie has secret service agents? I don't think he has secret service agents.
