Report: Christie Refused to Campaign for Cuccinelli
Breitbart ^ | 11/6/2013 | John Nolte

Posted on 11/06/2013 7:28:43 AM PST by Night Hides Not

Tuesday night and again Wednesday morning, NBC's Chuck Todd reported that New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie refused to campaign for Ken Cuccinelli, the Virginia Republican who narrowly lost his own governor's race to Democrat Terry McAuliffe.

"They begged Christie, and you can make an argument," Todd said on Morning Joe. "That to bring a Chris Christie to Northern Virginia might have helped. But Chris Christie is worried about his own brand."

Christie’s goals, looking forward, are to minimize the TEA Party influence in the Republican Party, triangulate Ted Cruz and Rand Paul, and move the Party toward the center under the guise of inclusiveness.

Christie sealed his victory last year in the aftermath of Sandy. He embraced obama, snubbed Romney and then attacked Boehner for not pumping trillions into NJ overnight. That’s what passes for statesmanship in NJ.

Didnt Christie have his own race to worry about?

Was Ted Cruz campaigning for Cuccinelli in VA?

This pig will never get a vote for me. I don’t care if he ends up running against Hillary or the reincarnation of Hitler himself....I’ll never do it.

Crispy has actually been deluded into believing he has a shot at the Whitehut in 2016. He will do nothing that does not serve Crispy Kreme. He barely mentioned Mitt in the Keynote speech at the 2012 convention.

I’m confused. Doesn’t everyone hate Christie? Why would the Tea Party want him to campaign with Cuccinelli?

He’s a bastard that’s for sure, but given a choice between him and Hillary. it would be very hard not to pull the lever for the bastard.

I can think of no situation where I would vote for this a-hole Christie. He is the GOP's Obama, a narcissistic know-it-all who hates conservatives. It would simply be 4-to-8 more years of a president flipping the bird to conservatives/the Tea Party. No thank you.

Any chance of Conservatives holding their nose and voting for the RINO in 2016 is now gone. Christie will be the Republican nominee in 2016 unless the Tea Party kicks butt in 2014.

And with his move not to support Cuccinelli, Christie lost the Republican base which means he cannot win in 2016.

As my kid would say, Doneskies!

The only person Christie will be campaigning for is Hillary Clinton. All the Dems need to do is to make sure Christie is the GOP nominee, just like they did with McCain and Romney in 2008 & 2012. At that point, the race will be over.

And of course the GOP will do their part by holding there earliest primaries in Democrat states like New Hampshire and Iowa so that Democrats can get the first shot at choosing the GOP candidate.

Christie is a loyal supporter of Obamacare.

Christie will do nothing to jeopardize the projected cruel punishment of Obamacare that will be soon visited upon America’s Middle Class.

Christie knows that his political future depends on his being a better Democrat than even Mrs. Bill Clinton.

Currently, the RINOs think that Christie is doing all the things necessary to win, win, win.

BTW, didn’t the RINOs have the same opinion about McCain and Romney?

The RINO establishment is at war with conservatives, the RNC will not release the funds for real conservatives.

Why is anyone surprised?
