We said things similar about Romney ... and look who the GOP elected. The elite ALWAYS get who they want ... and they want Christie.
We should pass around the contact info to call the R party so we can tell them we’re renouncing our affiliation.
I plan on doing it as soon as I get a good contact.
My vote doesn’t count in primaries anyhow. I didn’t choose mclame or romney. And I want to tell them before I renounce.
They nominate him I will vote 3rd party in a heart beat or even a Democrat that lines up with my views(not holding my breath on that happening). I’m actually planning on changing my registration to be able to vote in the Democratic primary.
very true. although, keep in mind that Romney did not get the nomination his first time around in 2008. Back then folks saw him for the phony he was and he crashed and burned in IA and NH.
He won in 2012 by default, really. He was the next in line from 2008 and his competition was way past his prime Newt and Santorum. And each of them came very close to beating him. If Huckabee or Palin had run in 2011-12 they’d have beaten Romney.
So, I don’t know about it Christie in 2016. He could lose in 2016 and be in good shape for 2020, but 2016 is no lock for him.
But conservatives will need to rally behind one guy(or gal). We can’t have this situation like 2012 where Newt, Santorum, Perry, Bachmann, Cain etc... all split the vote or like 2012 where Fred, Huckabee, even Romney back then split the vote. That’s how we wound up with McCain and Romney.
If we can all unite behind one person early in 2015 they’ll be in great shape.
You could even see the moderate/establishment vote split among Christie, Ryan, Jeb Bush, etc...
