Yep....the media will push for Christie so they can pull out their script from Hillary’s Senate run to position him as the ‘bully’ going after the lady. It’s obvious, but the wizards in our party apparatus are too stupid to see it. Yep, stupid. I used to think they were just misguided, but they do the same damn thing every cycle. Crush the conservatives, create an inevitable front runner from the moderate wing because ‘only they can win’, and then their can’t miss candidate lays an egg.

Democrats, and eventually the MSM, are starting early to destroy Christie because he is believed to be the front runner for 2016.

I disagree. I believe Democrats want Christie to be the nominee for the GOP because he will be easy to beat. And it was their MSM allies that gave Christe his front-runner status to begin with. I have yet to see any conservative poll which places Christie anywhere near the top among potential candidates for 2016.

Good.

The guy could never have gotten the GOP nomination, but could have really messed up the primaries, allowing the media to exploit and exagerate ideological divisions in the GOP coalition and leaving the eventual nominee weak and bloodied.

Now it’s possible to refocus opposition to him away from ideological differences to him being a petty, vindictive a&&hole who lacks the temperment for the office.

An added bonus is that the Dems and Lib media are the ones carrying the water on this right now.

RE: As for Christie, he only did what Democrats do on a daily basis

1) Did not oppose Obamacare

2) Signed the bill that outlawed therapy for homosexuals ( even when they wanted the therapy ).

3) Recently signed a bill to give illegals in-state tuition for college.

Why hasn’t the staffer been fired yet? Is Christie protecting the staffer
so the staffer won’t start singing? Me thinks so.

He’s a pubbie(sort of) so the press will go all out to destroy him. He’s toast.

indeed... that is why it makes no sense for Republicans to befriend the media... the media props them up... pretends to like them... uses them... and then shows their true colors on a dime... i hope they turn on him in an awful way...

Just like he retaliated against Romney after not getting the VP nod. The over the top praise of Obama was not different from closing the bridge. He is a miserable vindictive “big boy” who likes to throw his weight around.

Not to worry.

Obama will soon announce an Executive appointment of Chris Christie to the newly created cabinet position of -

‘ROAD and BRIDGE CZAR’.

Maybe Crispy Cream will offer him a job, because we sure as heck don’t want that RINO anywhere near the White House

Translation: Will MSM be able to save Christie’s GOP nomination?
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
I think they were willing to ‘prop him up’ so the so called establishment could run him using the Romney line “He appears to be the only one that can please both sides” and “we need someone like him to at least get the voters out to vote an R Senate/House” - until it is time to destroy him.

Christie ‘screwed up’ by winning the NJ race by such a large margin and the MSM etal (DNC) doesn’t know how to cope with it.

Guess their (MSM) next choice will be Ashley Graham.

“Chris...go for a new career....CEO of Krispy Kreme”

Never happen.
Christie, like most of our ruling class make their careers and fortunes in the public ‘service”.
By the way, If you have ever seen a farmer having his bull or stallion service his cows or mares, you can understand how public ‘service’ really works.

Putting women in high positions is a very effective strategy. They can’t be criticized or you alienate half the population. It’s all part of their long range plan.

Mayor ‘Sgt Schultz - I know nothing’ Christie.

The key is ‘inner circle’.

How could 4 of his inner circle know about this, plan it, instigate it, and keep it that quiet from the Mayor?

One of that inner circle was his chief-of-staff. Two were lifelong friends he appointed to high level positions.

Maybe Obama can fly in and give him a photo-op hug. [/s]

He can't waddle out of this one. Even if Christie is telling the truth and his aides bare-ass lied and he believed them, his response was all wrong. A leader who cared about his people would've said "it isn't our fault, but it's going to be our solution..get that traffic moving!" (not doing this is why I'm pretty sure he's part of it)

This is Chris Christie's Benghazi. The media has already found a few situations of people dying because of the traffic nightmare.
