Scarborough: Chris Christie is a Man for All Factions; Like Reagan, could unite Republican Party

Christie is for Christie. Period.

Reagan didn’t unite the Republican Party, he went around it directly to the voters. How convenient that they forget the liberal Republicans running John Anderson against Reagan as a third party spoiler ( it didn’t work). Reagan appealed to the conservative, blue collar democrat voter of which there are too few left today to count on.

Washington will never be the answer. Only the state legislatures can restore our Constitution now:

I agree w/you about the theater/media blather part. I was just wondering (and doubting) how much traction Christy might gain ex-Jersey, and I frankly don’t think it will be much. There’s no way he’ll beat Hillary, no way at all. *IF* things get really, really bad and the people get religion (figure of speech) as to reducing entitlements and actually letting the economy work etc; and want a stern Daddy, then he could potentially beat a really bad Dem candidate. (I don’t think that happens, either) I don’t think he beats even an average Dem candidate; he could beat a stinker. This is the RNC/GOPe clutching the only straw they’ve gotten in a long time and is a nothing.

I’ll support Christie if he’s the candidate

&&&
I won’t.

I’ll spend election day cleaning my toenails and filing down the padding on the bottom of my feet instead of voting for Christie.

I look at Christie, and my first thought is that he is the modern-day version of “Da Kingfish.”
