Idk, I think Rand would have done better if he had left out the part about the hug. Insulting the Obama hug was something that Christie was prepared for (which should have been obvious), and Christie had a comeback that took some of the wind out of Rand's sails. He should have left it with "I don't trust President Obama with the phone records of innocent Americans. I take terrorism VERY seriously, but it is fundamentally unamerican to use fearmongering to throw away the bill of rights which our founding fathers fought and died for."
