Christie is way too RINO for me. For now, it's almost any one but Christie, like Romney and Ron Paul, they were tied for least preferred by me. Ted Cruz and Mike Lee look good, so do a bunch of governors, but 2016 is far away.

We ran out of voters in 2012 ~ that's all. Actually, we aren't yet up to the Bush numbers of 2004, so we should learn from that and avoid candidates like McCain and Romney.
Christie is like both of them put together.

If christie runs for President he probably WILL run as a democrat but could just as easily run for the Socialist Labor Party.
In case you can’t tell: he is dead to me.

The name of the play is “Hail Mary”, throwing it in the air hoping that somebody will be downfield to snag it.
Of course, this is as likely to be an interception by the other team, or it just falls to the ground. Desperation sticks out all over this action.
If Christie had been playing REAL hardball, he would have named Robert Torricelli as the Senator-designate, and let the Democrats deal with that.

If I was in nj, I’d stay home next election. This wins him no votes from democrats. He looks like n unprincipled loser, like Scott brown did in 2012. No convictions.

To: neverdem
“He is pro-life, but he supports civil unions. He believes homosexuals are not sinners. He believes global warming is real and at least partly caused by humans. He favors some gun control measures. Beyond this, he is a rather staunch conservative.”
LOL! Is THAT all? You fool! Those qualities are exactly what makes him a RINO!

Don’t look at me - I voted for Grossman in the primary yesterday to send a message - he lost by an 11 to 1 margin - I guess the message got lost in the static.....

Christie being able to play in either party, Lieberman sometimes being talked of as veep for the republicans, Romney leaving the party because of Reagan, fundraising and supporting and voting Democrat in the 1990s, then switching back to the GOP to take it’s presidential nomination.
The evidence is that the Democrats are the default political party, and the GOP doesn’t have any identity of it’s own, it is a place where the second stringers play and get to live the life, without actually having any end goal or defined purpose.

Ask him where he stands on illegal immigration, amnesty, the right of the Boy Scouts to freedom of association, taxes for all online purchases regardless of where the vendor and recipient live, profiling of persons in communication with Al Qaeda, etc.

He has “angered his party a bit” by siding with those who anger his party a lot. This is not a plus as the author thinks it is.

Further complicating things, the Republican base believes that his effusive praise of Barack Obamas handling of Hurricane Sandy cost Mitt Romney the 2012...
There are actually people that believe this?

I have never sat out an election. That said, I would do so in 2016 if Christie were the nominee.

Krispy Kreme is in it to win it. He’s locking up zero’s base support as we speak. He and zero will kill Hillary out of pure malice..
Walker/Cruz ‘16. 100% conservative. They can win it.
