Oh, I don’t care who they nominate now. I don’t vote Republican.

I don’t much care which open borders/pro-gay marriage/pro Common Core/tax-raising RINO gets the nod.

but who ever saw Christie as the lead Nominee? as far as I see this contest, Cruz and Walker have always been the top two contenders for the spot (but u will never hear that from the MSM).

I am leaning to Walker. My heart goes to Cruz, but I am not sure he could win or if elected could govern. I would take Christie before I would take Jeb. No way Jose to Jeb.

The last time they ran a conservative, the party only won forty-nine states.

Better not try THST again!

I’ll write in Cruz. Other than that the GOP is dead to me.

That’s it let Hillary be a third term for Obama. But, I think Jeb could do even more damage.

Unfortunately things have changed a bit since then.
Reagan won Cali by 20 in 66.
Moonbeam won Cali by 20 in 14.
The Dems get 104 evs (Cal, Ill, NYS) without spending a dime.

It’s possible Jeb, Mitty, and NJFatboy split the RINO vote.
But it looks like there will be a huge crowd seeking the R nomination.

IMO Jeb would run to give it to Hillary anyways to blame TP on the loss as 6 million will stay home. Bush and Clinton’s are close friends and close politically.

and so much for Pennsylvania. Walker could be ahead by 100,000 votes on election night waiting for Philly to call in their tallies, and will anyone believe their totals? 202,000 for Hillary, 3000 for Walker. Just like when some districts had 0 votes for Romney.

Don’t need the proverbial magic crystal ball to figure that one out.

Christie ... Nyet
Bush ... Nyet

Uniparty is uniparty. What difference at this point does it make.

Chris Christie can’t possibly win.

Even if by some MIRACLE that he wins the nomination. (McCain and Romney did, so the stupidity of the GOP primary voters can’t be underestimated) He wouldn’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell of winning the general election.

A typical Southerner, will look at him as some lard ass, smart mouthed, anti-gun ‘Yankee’ type. I know I sure as hell would just stay home. I almost did for McCain and Romney, but I was sufficiently motivated to vote AGAINST 0bama to go ahead and turn out.

Never again. From now on, I want to vote FOR someone, and their ideas.

Krispy Kristie is a fried fat socialist. I would never vote for his socialist arse even at gun point. Kristie, Bushie supporters should just spend their time to sign up for 0bamacare instead of voting.
