WASHINGTON — House Speaker John Boehner says he believes Chris Christie remains a serious contender for the Republican 2016 presidential nomination, despite the traffic jam scandal engulfing the New Jersey governor.

Reporters asked Boehner about Christie's problems on Thursday, even as the governor was holding a news conference in Trenton, N.J.

Add to everything you said about Christie's denials being illogical:

If Christie were a leader that cared about people, his response to his staff "not being responsible" would've been "then find out who IS responsible and get those lanes opened".

So even if we believe him (barf alert) he demonstrated that he doesn't give a damn about people.

Only in your progressive infected brain stem which has been eaten away from alcohol abuse... you jerk!

[LibLieSlayer]

That was to the orange oompa loompa speaker and not you my friend.

At BEST, Christie is an incompetent....someone who would be ill suited for POTUS if he has people working for him who are not under his control.

Amazing, isn't it? We've got a dead Ambassador along with three other citizens in Benghazi and all the media can do is run interference for Shrillary about it. We've got Obamalamadouchebag personally responsible for millions losing their health insurance and all the media can do is shrug and say that's the breaks. But they have all the time and energy in the world to go after this poor sap because of a traffic jam? Can we really say anymore that this isn't a world gone stark, staring mad?

Dear John !

WRONG!!!!!

“Boehner setting the GOP sights on defeat...again”

You can’t fix stupid.

[a fool in paradise]

The election is 2+ years away and Christie fired the person responsible. Not knowing what your underlings are doing seems to be a pre-requisite for the presidency if Obama is any benchmark.

Didn't work in Nixon's case.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

For the demorat party and Boehner should know because he’s one as well.

[hal ogen]

The headline spells his name incorrectly...should be “BONER”

[haircutter]

VERY NICE PICTURE OF THE LATE PRESIDENT, RICHARD M. NIXON, I AM HAVING MORE RESPECT FOR HIM DAILY...

He chose a path bad for him but good for the Nation...something B. Hussein obama will never do..

[ObamahatesPACoal]

Nixon’s underlings concerns about liberal thugs were legitimate.

Christie was never going to lose the Governor’s race and his team panders to illegals and shuts down a bridge. Who is he trying to win over? MS13

[Fledermaus]

And Boehner proves yet again why he’s unfit to legislate.

Thanks again Ohio.

[arthurus]

Oh. Christie is Bonehead’s guy. How fitting.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Since when does anybody except the Dems think Crispy is a serious contender for President? This is totally media driven.
