Exactly. They’re warming up the presses already trying to select their candidate early. Worked real well the last 2 times..

*Chris Crispy will be lucky to win reelection tomorrow*

I heard a Left wing show on the radio yesterday (that is to say, mainstream) that said Christie needs to learn from Romney that he can't win if he's too far to the Right.
What a disappointment he turned out to be!
The only reason he won is because we THOUGHT that he was a Conservative.

Christie may as well switch parties.
Whatever party he runs with, I bet Obama endorses him...

1. Chris Christie 2. Rand Paul 3. Ted Cruz 4. Scott Walker

Other than 3, they "rank" alright.

Scott Walker should be the guy. Get rid of the Senators..Rand Paul and Ted Cruz are in their first term. However, a Scott Walker/Michele Bachmann ticket would be incredible.

I can’t help but find it more than coincidental that “Cruz, Theodore” translates as “The Cross, Gift from God”

I've voted for the GOP nominee in every election since JFK vs Tricky Dick in 1960, but I won't vote for Christie no matter who the donkeys put up.

Read my lips GOP bigwigs, NO MORE RINOS!!!

If the fat turd in NJ wins,

IF??? lol. He is going to overwhelmingly win. He didn’t even really have to campaign and would have won easily. Christie is the continued Governor of New Jersey EASILY.

Doesn’t matter who ranks where. They all get crushed by Hillary. We’ve lost the war of demographics. The country is going to have to hit rock bottom before we can try to work our way back up.

Chris Crispy will be lucky to win reelection tomorrow..

While I share your contempt for him he will have no problem winning. A new Rutgers-Eagleton poll shows that more than six in 10 voters have a favorable view of the tough-talking Republican governor. Mr. Christie, a likely 2016 GOP presidential contender, also is faring well with the groups that the Republican National Committee has targeted, but struggled to woo in the wake of the 2012 election, with 58 percent of women, 51 percent of non-white voters and 60 percent of 18-39 year holding favorable views of Mr. Christie.

It’s Ted Cruz or bust for me.

I won’t be voting for anyone else.

“Chris Crispy will be lucky to win reelection tomorrow...I won’t be voting for him in either election should he make it that far.”

Obviously you’re not paying attention. He’s going to win by double digits and then some. It’s not even going to be close.

Has Ted Cruz even once hinted that he would consider running or is it just wishful thinking? I haven’t heard anything.

> is Walker 2A friendly?

IIRC, he’s lukewarm. He is also “pro-choice”.


(???) Where on earth did you get THAT? Scott Walker is 100% pro-life (or I'd never have voted for him), he helped strangle Planned Parenthood funds (he was only stopped from defunding PP completely, along with wiping out the Jim Doyle "mandatory contraception in pharmacies and health insurance" rule, by a liberal contingent in the state legislature), and he's also rock-solid on the 2A; the NRA rates him "A+":

I like both too, but the Paul Family Ego sees Cruz as Rands equal, and therefore an enemy they must injure if not destroy. Scott Walker and Ted Cruz, yes that’s a team I can imagine.

Exactly....Christie will be pushed along just as McCain was pushed along by the leftist elite media because they will pick FOR the wimpy republicans who their candidate will be.
This will help ensure another democrat victory just as 2008...
C’mon TEA Party.....Don’t let this happen again!!!!!!!!!

Not in so many words. But it's no coincidence that he's spending a lot of time in Iowa and South Carolina.

Because why should the Democrats be the only ones with a Joe Biden?
