Rand Paul: Christie Win Shows GOP Has Room for Moderates
Wednesday, November 6, 2013 06:25 PM

The sweeping re-election of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie proves moderates are an integral part of the Republican Party, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky says.

“There’s room in the Republican Party for moderates, like Chris Christie. They seem to be the only ones that are winning in the Northeast,” Paul told “The Steve Malzberg Show” on Newsmax TV.

“The other thing that might happen in the Northeast, if we had a little more libertarian-leaning Republicans, they would have a chance in the Northeast,” Paul said Wednesday.

Paul is not squishy, this is who he is, a libertarian minded Republican who realizes that some parts of the country will not elect a Ted Cruz type candidate.

Texas will. NJ won’t.

If conservatives want to simply be relegated to the south (and Texas is in danger of going purple by the end of the decade) that is fine.

In order to actually govern and move the agenda, getting people elected in NJ and the northeast is critical.
