I'm really excited that Chris Christie got reelected last night in a landslizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
By June of 2015 there's going to be a lot of RINO hand-wringers out there who will say that Christie is just saying what he needs to say to be accepted in a DEEP blue state like New Jersey. Including sucking up to Obama.
I accept that argument...for New Jersey, but national office is a different story.
There should be an electoral college litmus test that says if you can't get the state you're from to support you then forget it...I don't see Jersey going for him over Hillary.
Maybe he'd have a shot against Anthony Weiner though...
Even if I'm wrong and he wins, conservatism loses. Nothing gives liberals more pleasure than to conflate the stink of moderate RINO failure with conservatism.
I'm still pissed at these ideological ostriches for fooling the rest of the (low-information) GOP primary voters into foisting Mitt Romney on us...
Anyway, now's a good time for a weird metaphor for what 2016 will look like...
I know this isn't the first time I've used Slimer...but this one is way more appropriate.
If it’s a choice between Christie and mrs. bill Clinton, I’ll pass.
both are serious taint boils.
Is that one conclusion that American politics has degenerated into a circus?
We don't. If a young, intelligent, appealing hispanic conservative were to team up with a young, intelligent, interesting libertarian and decide on which issues to run on, the two together could overwhelm the primaries. If we had two people like that hillary/Christie (if it was obvious early on how the wind was blowing) would be old, unappealing, tarnished and irrelevant in comparison.
Don't think it will happen. We have Cruz/Paul, but they'd have to break with the status quo pretty soon to get it done....right after next year's election at the latest. But we have to slam RINOs hard. No more can they blame US for not voting for Romney or McCain. Blame the RINOs for giving us losers. No compromise with them. We can never work with RINOs again.
I’d stay home too.
Not worth the effort to get out of bed to cast a vote in such an election.
Surely there would be somebody on contests farther down the ballot you’d like to vote for.
As for POTUS, write in Putin!
I’m going to go way out on a limb, and make a prediction for 2015- C.Christie, if still among the living*, will be the Republican nominee for President.
He fits the GOPe/Rovian profile of northeastern non-conservative to a Tee.
*I believe that he was morbidly obese, and while he has had an operation, and has lost some weight, and I do wish him well, I think his long-term health prospects are somewhat dicey...
lol
Not Putin, he hasn’t shown his Toledo Ohio birth certificate yet.
Maybe I’ll write in my own name.
We have to KO him in the primaries.
He has been losing weight. So I suspect weight won’t be an issue by then.
I’ll write in Netanyahu. At least he has lived here.
“Chris Christie vs. Hillary match-up in 2016”
Great! Joba the Hut vs. PIAPS. This country is so screwed!!
That Hillary will cruise to victory when the DNC releases their dossier on shady deals Christie cut with mob-connected Dems, four weeks before the election.
this match up results in only one thing BOHICA!!!!!
