Whut? Romney doesn't count?
Eric Bolling spoke for me yesterday when he said he could not vote for this guy.
RINOs don’t work! If they did, we would have seen President Romney, President McCain, and President Dole.
Hope Christie hires Karl Rove, so they both go down together
HOPEFULLY NFW....
“The Republican Party is a Southern, Midwestern and Western party, suburban and rural. Not since Tom Dewey in 1948 has the GOP nominated a candidate from the urban Northeast.”
Dear Pat - where was Romney from again?????? Gov. of what state?
duh........
Giuliani had the same problem. Zero coattails. You get to kiss his ring, and he gets to kick your ass. Is it any wonder that he'll get zero support from other pols? Given the way he publicly screwed Romney, it's kind of weird that Hatch is sucking up to Christie in a such a public way. Is he hoping that Christie's funders will throw some money his way?Moreover, Christie seems to have no coattails. Despite his triumph, he failed to make significant gains in the state House or state Senate, both of which remain solidly Democratic.
Then there is the reputation Christie has built as a self-centered politician. At the 2012 GOP convention, his prime-time address was the political counterpart of Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself." Mitt Romney went unmentioned until 16 minutes into the speech.
According to Chuck Todd of NBC, though heading for a blowout, Christie rebuffed a desperate plea to come down to Virginia for a few hours to help Ken Cuccinelli, whose late surge almost won the state.
And while Christie embraced and thanked President Obama profusely for federal assistance during Sandy, when asked about a visit by his party nominee Romney to view the damage, he retorted, "I have no idea, nor am I the least bit concerned or interested."
Because that is where the forces assembling are pushing him.
Pat Buchanan nails it. Chris Christie is being groomed to be the 'antidote' to the Tea Party movement inside the 'establishment' Republican party. He is the wrong person for the assignment. Brash and even obnoxious, to quasi-liberal RNC honchos, Christie probably looks like the 'tough guy' who will kick those upstart conservatives to the curb. Think again RINOs. Conservatives are fed up to the eyeballs with RINO politics and big boy Christie will get back whatever he dishes out and will alienate millions of voters in the process.
Fat Boy is going down hard and all his New Jersey bravado won't save his sorry hide.
Polls show that Christie will lose new Jersey to Hillary in 2016. A RINO who cannot win his home state, will never occupy the oval office. I will not vote for Mr. Christie if he is the Republican nominee even if Satan himself, horns and tail for all to see, is on the democratic ticket.
Christie will lose the presidency just like Romney and McCain before him…but his huge ego will prevent him from understanding why even after the votes are counted. He will blame someone else.
Anti-gun East coast RINO.
What could go wrong?
No thanks.
The strategists in the GOPee have declared war on their base and that speaks and smells of desperation. They will reap the whirl wind.
Huh? Maybe Romney wasn't from there but he was there.
"Doing our part to keep conservatives away from the polls since 1988!"
The one time they are serious about cutting the pork...
I like Christie better than Romney and Romney better than McCain but I am damning with faint praise here. We’ve tried RINOs the last two cycles and that didn’t come close to succeeding. I’d love to have a 2016 candidate actually say that.
OK Without looking it up on Google——who ran against Chris Christie???? Nuff said.
Interesting to see the comparison to Guiliani. Although Guiliani was way, WAY too liberal for my tastes on several very key issues of mine, and I would NEVER have supported him for the presidency, at least he was likeable and I had some genuine respect for him. He truly accomplished something big, by turning around NYC, which seemed impossible at the time. And he also distinctly demonstrated a few times that he had an independent streak and wouldn’t a toady hack for the beltway GOP establishment.
Christie is a ludicrous joke. From his slobbering embrace of Obama, to his barking at the GOP-ers in Congress for more moolah, to his crying over a phone call from Bruce Springsteen (which is pathetic beyond words), to his obvious willingness to be the GOP-E’s hatchet-man against the tea-party, Chris Christie is one big, repugnant piece of debris.
Christie beat a very weak candidate who had no real support from her party. The lack of that support stems from the fact that Democrats would like nothing better than to run against Christie come 2016. Why hurt his chances? ...Of course there were no coattails. Had this been a presidential election, the citizens of NJ would have voted for any Democrat over him. Christie has made his bed with illegals, gays and Obama (the last two aren’t intended as a redundancy). Conservatives don’t want to crawl into bed with him.
Ahhh, he's going to be a succulent bird, that one........
If/when that happens, and it is Hillary as the Dem candidate, how do you vote?
