Scarborough: 'Off the Air, Nobody Thinks Christie Can Win'

Chris Christie might have millions of admirers across the country, people who love the Jersey governor's blunt style. But among the Republican media and political elites who populate Morning Joe, Christie's a no-hoper.

That's what Joe Scarborough divulged on today's Morning Joe. Said Scarborough: "off the air in Republican circles . . . nobody thinks Christie can win."

Joe Scarborough says that in elite Republican circles, nobody thinks Christie can win. Is he right? Would you like to see Christie get into the race? Ping to Today show list.

Chris Christie might have millions of admirers

... or he might not.

I have yet to hear anyone push him, EXCEPT the so-called "elite".

That’s why the Elite want him, easier for Hillary to beat. The we get another first, first female radical Marxist president.

“Republican media”

For the life of me, I have no idea what that term means.

Whichever ‘flavor of the week’ Republican that the Media seems to be fawning over is one they want to run because they suspect he/she will not win.

Usually, too, the one the media is fawning over is high on the GOP-elite preference list.

The GOP-elites seemingly have not figured that out yet.

“Nobody Thinks Christie Can Win’”

That’s why the gop-e wants either Christie or J Bush, they know they can’t win.

Hev went down to mexico to meet with Carlos Sim as did many democrats like clinton. That tells me he is bought by a guy who owns many mexican politicians.

There is only one way for Christie to have a chance at winning. Christie would need to run as a democrat.
