Rush Limbaugh has been talking about it.

Well, he is the GOP-e’s latest loser RINO. No wonder the left wants him nominated.

I think the reason is that the 2012 Romney nomination was the GOP spending the last of its credibility.

Chris Christie is one of the GOP's brightest stars and one of its best hopes for 2016.

Nice introductory sentence from the Washington Post. Now we know who they want nominated!

Who said he is a bright star? He is just another pathetic RINO.

I'm sorry to tell you this but the so called conservatives in and around the big cities may look at him as a good candidate but all of us out in the fly over country just look at him as a city boy RINO.

He has never been or chosen one or even our leading candidate. We simply do not trust the big city politicians they do nothing but take from us.

‘Cause it is a waste of time and effort to rescue backstabbing RINOs?

Those who want him nominated are they very ones who want us duct taped.

I think Christie is likely telling the truth, but truth and facts have never mattered to the media.

Just look at Sarah Palin. It's all about the smear!

Sheesh, wise up, GOP-e!

Obviously, we true Conservatives don’t like him. But I would also contend that he is not the favorite of the GOPe either. I suspect that the GOPe are not comfortable with his feisty demeanor and would much prefer Jeb! from the meek and mild Bush clan.

Rush calls the Establishment Republicans Wildebeests. All of the Republican Wildebeests run away in fear while the lone R antelope gets devoured by predator(s).

That may be the reason. Those financing him are not idiots. Like any good chess player they work through the possible outcomes of various move choices to see what is likely. I suspect that no matter what move they make to support him, it results in a checkmate against him in the end. So they are cutting him loose to let the story take its course.

Quickly.

He’s a well-rounded RINO, a gargantuan GOPe muppet.

“Christie’s rise in GOP circles is in no small part due to an invisible but immensely powerful donor and power broker class that loves him.”

CRONY CAPITALISTS
