Christie touting his conservative bona fides
The Bergen Record ^ | July 26, 2015 | Melissa Hays, State House Bureau

Governor Christie spent the past week on the campaign trail hitting key issues that are popular with the conservative voters who likely hold the key to his success as a Republican candidate for president.

His tour through the early voting states, which includes return trips to New Hampshire and Iowa this week, comes as his campaign and a super PAC supporting his candidacy are spending a combined $1 million to run political ads nationally on Fox News that show Christie criticizing President Obama over the Iran nuclear deal, just as the next round of horse-race polls are being conducted.

The next two weeks are likely to be critical for the New Jersey governor.

Once a front-runner and the man many pushed to run for president four years ago, Christie is now so far down in the polls that analysts say he needs to build support among these conservatives to keep his chances alive for a spot in Fox News’ televised debate next month.

Yepper - Chris left a few crumbs out there to fuel those who are reminding him he isn’t really a Constitution/2nd Amendment good old boy type despite his protests to the “not quite contrary”.

Jersey the Hut may be on the right side on some things, like national security, but to call him Conservative is a. stretch

Typical MO of the charlatan Republican. Crispy Creme's just like McConnell: boast loudly about how "conservative" you are on the campaign trail, about how they're going to go to bat for us.

"If I'm given the opportunity to lead the U.S. Senate next year, I won't let you down!"

Then, once ensconced in their comfy elected position, voila! They show their true colors!

When will we learn?

Conservatives know Humpty Dumpty has no conservative bona fides and all the king’s horses and all the king’s men cannot put him back together again.

How insulting. He really thinks conservatives won’t remember his love fest with Obama during TS Sandy? He is disgusting.
