Chris Christie: Romney's 'Gifts' Comments 'Divisive'
Yahoo ^

Posted on 11/16/2012 12:32:51 PM PST by Arthurio

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Friday added his name to a growing list of Republicans who are rebuking Mitt Romney over his “gifts” comments.

“You can't expect to be a leader of all the people and be divisive,” said Christie on MSNBC’s Morning Joe when asked if he agreed with fellow Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, who was one of the first to criticize the former GOP nominee over the comments.

In a conference call with donors Wednesday, Romney said that minorities and young people voted for Obama because he offered them “gifts.”

Said Christie: “You have to talk about themes, policies that unite people. And play to their aspirations and their goals and their hopes for their family and their neighbors. And I always think this is scapegoating after elections. When you lose, you lost."

What really bothered me was non-stop crowing about ground game and fixed polls - it’s like his campaign team was in a completely different world.

Don’t see how the establishment can reinstall Preibus as chairman either. Where’s the leadership?

I know, in hindsight, they weren’t “in sight”. Guess I was too isolated to notice.

Actually, Christie is a Nascar bus.

He only makes left turns.

Well said. They’re all on the same team and they hate competition.

What to do, four years out, as the Republican political forces and Big Money are already arraying for the 2016 battle field to arrange the next cram down, while we still have our heads in the oven over this one.

Rubio, Jebbers Bush, Christie? Ambitions on steroids. Rubio, groomed by Jeb, can’t seem to even decide whether he is Protestant or Catholic, Jeb has never uttered even the possibility of returning to the simple enforcement of existing immigration law and orderly numbers of entries, and Christie is so naive as to enlist Muslim influence in NJ government without much explanation, nevermind he chose to govern in a state full of Marxists just as Romney chose to do.

Hysteria may drive me to the Libertarians. At least they are unruly, stubborn and sufficiently fed up to at least organize.
