Chris Christie is no presidential contender
One News Now ^ | 11-18-13 | Star Parker

Posted on 11/18/2013 4:04:48 PM PST by ReformationFan

If the last two presidential elections tell us anything, it’s that Republicans don’t succeed with candidates who lack clear vision and conviction consistent with the party’s conservative platform.

Given this, I understand why Democrats think that New Jersey governor Chris Christie should be a leading contender for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination. But why would any Republican see a typical political operative like Christie as presidential material?

With the information we have in front of us today, there is every reason to believe that 2016 will be a year of opportunity for Republicans to run a serious and exciting reform-minded candidate – a candidate who is ready and able to provide the kind of leadership it will take to breathe life back into our faltering nation.

The Obama presidency is exuding incompetence and unraveling on all fronts.

Each day we are greeted with new news about the crashing of the ill-conceived and misguided Affordable Care Act – ObamaCare.

Looking at current economic realities at home and national security realities abroad, little good news appears evident and there isn’t much reason to expect any big positive surprises.

The American public is waking up to the fact that they elected, now twice, a president who is long on rhetoric and way short on delivery, and they are getting tired of it.

As things continue in this vein, by 2016, the American people will be ready for some real hope and change. The door will be open for a Republican candidate who is ready to take on the real challenges facing us, and offer solutions like across-the-board reform of entitlements, real tax reform, real cuts in superfluous government spending and reassertion of a strong and clear America in the international arena.

"How can a governor like Christie, who has been at the helm of one of the worst-performing state economies in the nation – unemployment and poverty rates well above the national average, among the nation’s worst in job creation, with one of the highest tax burdens in the country – be the exciting candidate Republicans will be looking for?"

Just say NO to Christie.

Krispy Kreme is no conservative, and therefor has no place in the primary.

Are you kidding? Those are just the sort of ‘qualities’ the GOP-e embraces.

They will shove him down our throat, just like they did with McCain and Romney. Because he is ‘electable’ due to being a statist with a (R) next to his name.

Unless of course Jeb Bush decides to run. Then Christie will fade into the woodwork.

If the communist pigs in the state controlled "media" love him, he sure as hell isn't getting my vote. They loved those two losers McCain and Romney too. That indicates to me that Christie is a loser too.

Cruz/Palin 2016. Palin/Cruz 2016. I don't care which. Everything else is just bull****.

If the GOP-e is stupid enough to give us another RINO loser, they won't get my vote. When the choice is between two disasters, voting for a minor party (Libertarian, Constitution, even Green) is not a wasted vote. At least those votes let the GOP-e know how much we detest their candidates.

The Ann Coulter Interview
Gov. Chris Christie: Of course I’m not happy! Look at me, I’m a big fat slob. I’ve got bigger titties than you do. I’ve got more chins than a Chinese phonebook. I’ve not seen my willie in two years, which is long enough to declare it legally dead.
[on the verge of tears]
I can’t stop eating. I eat because I’m unhappy, and I’m unhappy because I eat. It’s a vicious cycle. Now, if you’ll excuse me, there’s someone I’d like to get in touch with and forgive ... myself. [Farts] Sorry. I farted. It’s a long road ahead.
OK Ann. I’m hungry, bigger than you and higher up the food chain. Get in my belly.

Many of us were shouting this at full blast before 2012. It didn't matter. IMO, it won't matter this time either.

The early primaries are set up so Leftists get a head start. Democrats participate in the selection process.

Why should I expect anything different than I have seen in the last four to five election cycles?

Walker was on FOX this evening — I like the guy, he could carry his home state Christie, maybe not.

Hmmm, Walker for GOP standard bearer.

Seems like a darned good idea. He has political courage, and the strength to persevere when the going gets tough.

He's signed some pretty good bills (the Voter ID one, for example.)

Downside, he never completed college.

Not a game-ender, he apparently left to make a full-time job out of his part-time one. (Governor Walker could always say, in full truth, that he has given more info about HIS education than has Mister Obama.)
