The Conservative Darling Is Back

[mrjarrell]

Nothing will stop the juggernaut from his run for the gop nomination and, if the applause from "conservatives" is any indicator he's back to where he was before the bridge closure scandal. I don't get the love for him from the right. Oh, well.

More evidence of the decay of the Rep party. 'They' are oblivious to and do not understand Constitutional conservatism.

For sure, let me be clear, personally I have NO use for Christie.

 

[Jarhead77]

I know you didn't say it thus way, but to be clear...not "everyone" on the right loves him. The media wants us to, but we don't "all" love him.

 

[aaron580]

Throw a doughnut down the road and that takes care of him.

 

[JeremiahJohnson]

...and that's why we can't get a conservative back in the big house. Sad.

 

[MisterChester]

Rand Paul was right to say there won't be a GOP president in our lifetime unless the party changes. Christie is not that change. Especially here on INGO, he is the least friendly GOP governor to guns.

Why are we debating this?
The next President is Madam Clinton. You all know this to be true, stop pretending like it is not.

I bet it'll be somebody that didn't even run last time...just got a feeling.

Last night I was at a dinner where Dr. Ben Carson was the keynote speaker.

All I can say about 2016 is: "I can dream, can't I?"

Has he gotten his mind right with the 2A? When he hit the scene, I saw him interviewed and he was awfully squishy about guns, "assault" weapons, etc.

 

[BogWalker]

Christie has a snowball's chance in hell of winning IMHO. Every voter I know that would be considered to be in the "middle" does not like him.

This! She couldn't take down the unknown 2008 Obama, I don't think Clinton has this thing on lock down.

I was out and about this morning and one of the radio talkers said that CPAC has been pretty well taken over by the establishment Republicans. It appears to me to be the case given that you went from a group that snubbed the New Jersey Governor to welcoming him and Mitch McConnel... gimme a break. Conservatives haven't changed that much.

 

[Trooper]

It is more like the media wants the republicans to select him. That way Hillary wins.

 

[Phil502]

Half the people that stood up were trying to leave before he opened his mouth.

When you hear people on the right love Gov. Crispy as their Party's choice, it is the Rinos and not the True Conservative Republicans. Gov. Crispy is farther left than some Democrats. Plus he is in bed with all the other anti-gunners in our Country. If he becomes the president we will see National Gun Control Bills like those in New Jersey, New York, California, Connecticut, etc.

I only hope people aren't as stupid as they were in 2008 and 2012. If they are as stupid or more so, God help us all.

“If you love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.” Samuel Adams, 1776

Christie is actually the darling of the left. They want him as the Republican nominee so bad they can taste it. They know, whoever he runs against, will win in a landslide.

 

[Dean C.]

Well looks like we are screwed in 2016.

Looks like more than a few people at CPAC agree with the left. Standing ovations and cheering? Republicans in the trenches seem to like him.

If it comes down to Christie and Hillary for 2016 general, I already know what the INGO mantra will be. Of course Hillary doesn't generate the spittle here that Obama does. But I still know what the mantra will be.
