He is NOT a Tea Party candidate by any stretch of the imagination. He's trash talked them in the past, did nothing to support a Republican candidate for the Senate seat that Booker won, etc.
As governor, he is the best one since Gov. Kean, and that's not saying much. His "straight talk" is less than straight. He's a wheeler-dealer. He did little to support Romney, and even said he'd never win NJ. His only concern is with his own ambition.
We need someone that is ambitious, but let them be ambitious in doing what is right for the country. The GOP needs to look long and hard at what they are doing. Maybe they should find a sincere candidate with high ideals.
It is getting pretty tiresome being lectured on "bi-partisanship." It is worse that they mock and bully Tea Party people as radicals. Christie is not a conservative, he is whatever will further his own political career.
He’ll win in NJ as long as he runs.
I believe he has already reached the pinnacle of his career, and he knows it.
