I'd like to suggest perhaps fantasy football matters a little bit.
From the debate
CHRIS CHRISTIE: How about this? How about we get the government to do what they’re supposed to be doing, secure our borders, protect our people, and support American values and American families. Enough on fantasy football. Let people play, who cares?
The thing is Chris, it all matters when you're in the government. When people were dying of lawn jarts the government didn't say "screw it, it's only a few people, so who cares we have family values that need protecting." Why, because not having metal objects insert into your brain seemed like supporting families to previous legislators. You're the government so it all matters. It might not all matter equally, but it all matters. When people get sick from tainted peanuts you can't say, "Screw it I won't be bothering to look into that because we got to find me some terrorists."
1) More than that, most people understand the people looking into fantasy football aren't the same people securing our borders. It isn't like we are pulling Jack Bauer off his terrorist torturing fantasy duty to play draftkings. The idea you can't do something routine and simple like investigate online 1 week fantasy football pools AND protect our people belongs only to the typical GOP candidate. The government is filled with people whose job it is to do routine things like this. All Jeb was saying is, "Hey of course I'll let the government people do their job." Does Christie think the IRS reviewing tax forms or the FDA inspectors are wasting government time because it isn't keeping Donald Trump's fantasy Mexican rapists from jumping over the three hundred foot barb wired border fence?
2) Isn't investigating gambling sort of in that class of things people include with protect our people, American values, and American families. For instance:
New Jersey permits social gambling (e.g., workplace football pool, a family poker game) insofar as the organizer of the game is on equal terms with the other participants, and does not take a cut of the gambling proceeds
Hey, look New Jersey does include it. It is possible Draftkings is illegal in your own state by its own state laws. I don't think most people want illegal-unregulated numbers games in their neighborhoods. If draftkings business model is pretty much a game of three card monte, then shouldn't people be protected from it, or at least the industry be taxed like a gambling house rather than a normal business that sells goods? So the answer to who cares... your own state laws care, Chris Christie!
3) No offense, but your running for president in the party that spent millions and countless hours investigating Benghazi and spends its legislative time renaming post offices and repealing Obamacare over and over again. I don't think you as a member of the GOP get to lecture America on wastes of time. Everything America needed to know about Benghazi was pretty much learned in the first investigation, yet your party never stops. Your whole debate is based on fantasies that America is a Christian nation and we're letting Christ slip away to the peril of "socialism" or Islam etc..., Social Security is evil because it helps old people not live in poverty, Medicare is failing, food stamps make people slaves, tax cuts on rich people create jobs, etc... your whole party platform is one waste of time after another. They are either ideas that failed years ago, based on fantasies that don't exist, or things tried elsewhere and failed miserably. Dude, if you didn't want to waste time you'd be in the Democratic primary because there isn't a thing your party runs on that isn't a waste of time. Heck looking into online gambling is about the only thing in the whole debate that was a real thing happening in America today! 
Christie has gone from the government doesn't work, to the government workers shouldn't do routine jobs for you that its been doing for years and years because we got to focus on some myths about Christie's fear and loathing. Woot! GOP vision for America.
