Major Democratic donors flock to Christie

TRENTON — Gov. Chris Christie is cashing in donations from top Democratic fundraisers and other traditionally liberal donors across the country, even nabbing the support of a handful of rainmakers aligned with President Obama and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, a Star-Ledger review of state and federal records shows.

The checks are flying into the Republican governor’s war chest from all sorts of unlikely places — the hedge fund run by liberal billionaire George Soros, for example, and the politically progressive halls of the University of California, Berkeley.

The nascent support from Democratic donors is an early sign of Christie’s fundraising prowess in a potential run for the White House in 2016, experts and Democratic donors said, and dovetails with recent polls showing him gaining popularity nationally among Democrats and independents........

Well, they do recognize one liberal from another. If they don’t want liberal Hillary, they will choose liberal fat guy RINO.

[Sender]

George Soros funding Christie? That tells me all I need to know.

[CottShop]

Good- Christies opponent only need say “And, is it any wodner why major democratic donors have been cotnributing to Christie’s campaign? And Christie wants to run as a repubklican? After practicallt fench kissing Dear leader after the hurricane?”

[txnativegop]

Nothing unlikely about it. Christie is just the latest liberal Republican they want to run for President. It will make it easier for Hillary in 2016.

Is Creamy going to give Hilary! a run for her money in the ‘Rat primary for 2016 presidential nominee? Inquiring minds wannna know!

[SharpRightTurn]

Well, this ought to tell everyone everything they need to know about The Great Fat One.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Commie lib DemocRATS are selecting their presidential opponent again.

[ncfool]

Will he appoint himself Senator?

[Buckeye McFrog]

Clearly Kathleen Sebelius began forwarding Lautenberg’s medical records to the White Hut about the time Sandy hit the Jersey coast last fall.

[Trueblackman]

More than enough reason for Conservatives to avoid the fat pig like the plague.

[NeoCaveman]

Will he appoint himself Senator?

No. Too risky for him. Why risk guaranteed re-election to be an underdog in a Senate race.

[MichaelCorleone]

Isn’t this the guy ann coulter salivates over?

Another wrong call, ann. Time to retire.

[Servant of the Cross]

A wimp ... and a blimp!

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

[BuckeyeTexan]

Wasn’t it Soros who said there was essentially no difference between Obama and Romney? I am not surprised that he’s now substituted Christie for Romney.

[2ndDivisionVet]

"Major Democratic donors flock to Christie .... since he's really a Democrat..."

Fixed it.

[apillar]

He's going to follow in McCain and Romney's footsteps as the liberal media coronated RINO in 2016 and sold to Republican voters like his predecessors as the “only candidate that can win”. Then just like in 2008 and 2012 the media will turn against him as soon as he secures the nomination.

[New Jersey Realist]

Nothing surprising here. Maybe now though Bruce Springstein will call Krispy Kreme or even do a benefit for him. That would make lardass very happy!
