Honest: Would You Rather Win with Chris Christie or Lose with Ted Cruz?

Those sophisticates at Time magazine made a funny. They put Chris Christie on their cover with the headline, "The Elephant in the Room." Get it? Elephant. Christie. Time magazine did a junior high fat joke right there on its cover. Time's executive editor Michael Duffy explained the cheap shot this way: "Well, he's obviously a big guy. He's obviously a big Republican. But he's also done a really huge thing here this week."

The "huge thing" wasn't only winning re-election as New Jersey's governor, but doing it by appealing to a broad range of voters in a very blue state — not just to his conservative base.

But, hey, no harm no foul. Time isn't even a newsmagazine anymore. It became a liberal journal of opinion a long time ago. So you can just hear those wild and crazy journalists at Time sitting around the conference room table giggling about how they'd get away with their fat joke because, well, in the world of politics, the word "elephant" isn't a synonym with "fatso."

But do you think the gang at Time would ever say Barack Obama is a "dark horse." In the world of politics "dark" doesn't mean "black," right?

Time's cover doesn't necessarily mean that Chris Christie is the GOP frontrunner for 2016. It's way too early for that....

Would you rather vote for Christie who might be able to defeat Hillary in 2016, or vote for a conservative candidate who represents your ideology much more closely, but has absolutely no chance to win?

We heard the same crap about Romney.

You, and they, were wrong then, and you are wrong now.

Not believing the lies anymore!

[SECURE AMERICA]

Christie will never win the Presidency.
He can not turn out enough voters to defeat any other Democrat running...............

[LowTaxesEqualsProsperity]

Would I rather win with George H.W. Bush or lose with Ronald Reagan?

[RegulatorCountry]

What do I “win” if I’m with Christie, a donut?

[NoLibZone]

The experiment failed.

It doesn’t matter if Cruz wins or Hillary.

Obama was the tipping point beyond which there is no return.

Write in Reagan.

[Nuc 1.1]

That is a Very Good point!

[Nuc 1.1]

You are right about that.

[CodeToad]

I would rather lose because if this country is going to continue going down the drain I want a Democrat to take the fall and not be sold out by someone supposedly representing my conservative interests but isn’t. “Gosh, Mr. Conservative, how can you be against your own guy??”

[sauropod]

Bernie Goldberg. RINO.

I’m seriously disgusted by this windbag.

[Pox]

What makes you believe there would be an opportunity to start over?

If you're not capable of such a belief, the war is already over and all is lost. If we can't prevail and start over, we'll simply continue to be slaves to the government.

Believing that we can start over will be the central theme of the resistance/revolution, IMO.

[sauropod]

Don’t care if Hitlary gets the “women’s vote.”

I am through with GOP-E. They can kiss my ever expanding gluteus maximus.

Screw them.

[Alaska Wolf]

If you're not capable of such a belief,

What makes you believe there will be anything left from which to start over?

[JJHLH1]

I reject the premise of the question. Cruz is the best candidate we have had in decades, and he is going to win in 2016. He is brilliant, articulate, likable, trustworthy, and a true conservative. Wait till people see him in the debates. He is going to eat everyone's lunch. James Carville said the same thing.

Cruz also knows the importance of social media. His Facebook and Twitter pages are on fire. Great way to get the support of the grassroots, which is how you win elections.

Cruz has had a winning argument on every major issue since arriving in the Senate earlier this year: gun control, amnesty, sequestration, Syria, and now healthcare. He uses facts to win, not emotion. I know a winner when I see one and this guy is it. We are lucky he is on our side.

Christie, by the way, wouldn't even win NJ in a presidential election. Just like Romney lost Mass.

Christie is a guaranteed loss; the real Americans will stay home again.

Cruz may energize like Palin.

[RichInOC]

I’d say win with Christie. If that were the choice. The thing is, Christie isn’t a sure winner, and Cruz isn’t a sure loser. In both cases, far from it. I’m a Palin guy. I’d greatly prefer her to be the nominee. But if she doesn’t run, I’m very happy with what I’ve seen so far from Cruz. I’m more confident that he can win or at least make a good run than I am that Christie can. Shame on Bernie.

>> “He would be better than any other moderate Republican and more driven than the likes of Cruz and Paul.” <<

You’re going to need to wash vigorously after you wipe that excrement out of your mouth.

[Pox]

What makes you think there won’t be?

[WilliamRobert]

Cruz or Pain both or either, screw the rest. I want a reformer who has lived like the rest of us, not some elite turd.

By 2050, China’s elderly will account for 26% of it’s population, the US has massive debt with only 13% of it’s population beyond working age.
