Honest: Would You Rather Win with Chris Christie or Lose with Ted Cruz?
Jewish World Review ^ | November 12, 2013 | Bernard Goldberg

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....

How are they going to do that when their generation of workers retires, with no one to replace them

No one? Why the need for exaggeration? Advances in manufacturing and agriculture technology will eliminate the need for many menial labor jobs. The Chinese will be able to import laborers just as the US has done since WWII.

I will support a small government, pro-life, pro-gun, pro-God, anti-amnesty, pro-natural family, strong defense conservative.

Beyond that, I’m not very picky. :>)

Cruz is hardly a man of the people. And he doesn’t strike me as likeable at all. He Maybe as a foreigner I’m missing something. Better than Christie, who, regardless of his electability is at best a Bloomberg-type custodian of the progressive state. But there must be someone else. Lee?
