If the last two presidential elections tell us anything, its that Republicans dont succeed with candidates who lack clear vision and conviction consistent with the partys 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 isnt 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.

Just say NO to Christie.
How’s that Hurricane Sandy recovery coming along, Guv?
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.
Cruz/Palin 2016. Palin/Cruz 2016. I don't care which. Everything else is just bull****.

Found his Theme. He doesn’t even have to photo shop.
It never ends...
I love Star Parker.
Fool me once with Romney, shame on you. Fool me twice with Christie, shame on me.
Not gonna happen.
My first question at the debates would be, “Who wipes your ass?.”
“GET IN MUH BELLY!”
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.
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.)
