Their support, though, has been far from enthusiastic, showing how difficult it will be for Christie to not only win the Republican presidential nomination if he becomes a candidate but to win in the general election if he gets the nomination.
The mainstream media--and his friends at MSNBC--have turned on Christie, and conservatives have again defended an establishment Republican more than the establishment has ever defended them. Conservatives have pointed out that Christie has taken more accountability than Obama and Hillary Clinton have on Benghazi and how the mainstream media have scrutinized the "Bridgegate" scandal far more than Benghazi, which was a much more significant scandal in which a U.S. Ambassador was murdered.
But they have not defended him as fiercely as they would someone like Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) or former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. Conservatives relentlessly and ferociously defended Cruz, for instance, when he was attacked as a McCarthyite and when a former roommate who is a liberal Hollywood screenwriter with an ax to grind trashed him in the mainstream press. And Palin, who is still the most liked person among Republican presidential primary voters, has arguably the fiercest supporters in politics that make thin-skinned "lamestream media" reporters want to shut off their email boxes and Twitter accounts once her supporters feel that she has been wronged or unfairly treated by the press.
Republican establishment politicians are infamous for abandoning conservatives after they ask them to dance. Christie, though, has never even courted the Tea Party movement and the conservative base, having spent the better part of the last four years kissing up to the mainstream media

WHAAAAAAAA??? I don’t think so..said the Patriot!!!
Christie Abandons Conservatives *
THERE, fixed it.
He was embraced by the RINO/Democrat/media complex.
I thought it was the other way around.
Read the article.
It makes it clear that conservatives abandoning Christie was a direct result of Christie abandoning conservatives and conservatism.
“Republican establishment politicians are infamous for abandoning conservatives after they ask them to dance. Christie, though, has never even courted the Tea Party movement and the conservative base, having spent the better part of the last four years kissing up to the mainstream media...”
...and putting his arm around Obama.
This is why that famous “conservative” Rudy G. is now hedging his bets with fat boy.
He wasn't embraced by libertarians either. The only ones who seemed to support Christie were the establishment Republicans responsible for the Bush #41, Dole, McCain and Romney fiascos. He'd never bring out the social conservative vote and 2A vote in Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Florida -- which is critical. (Because he's not a social conservative, and he doesn't support the second amendment.)
Conservatives supported Christie? When?
How can someone never apart of .... be abandoned ?
you cant abandon someone you never held as one of your own.
Can not be trusted with a personal chef 24/7!
Isn’t Christie the guy that wet his pants on TV after meeting with an Adulterer and Junkie named Springsteen??
No Conservative ever Liked Him.
Rudy Giuliani realized after the 2008 season that he would never be embraced by republicans outside of NY and a few other states.
Christie hasn’t realized that fact yet.
Abandoned by conservatives? Ha. He was never embraced by conservatives.
He has been abandoned by his own kind...RINOS.
In addition, not one GOP Governor has stepped up to defend him.
No House or Senate members have stepped up to defend him.
so you're saying that the police lobby wont back him
“He was never embraced by conservatives.
He was embraced by the RINO/Democrat/media complex.”
NAILED IT!!
Who abandoned who.
