New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie sold himself to a room of conservative activists Thursday as a fighter who shouldn’t be counted out as he mulls a run for president in 2016.

The Republican, who has struggled in recent weeks to gain momentum, was interviewed by talk show host Laura Ingraham onstage at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland. The three-day event features a parade of potential presidential contenders.

Christie has faced a slew of negative stories and a formidable fundraising challenge from former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. But he made clear Thursday he’s not dissuaded.

“Is the election next week?” Christie responded when asked about lackluster poll numbers.

“I’ll take my chances on me,” he added. “I’ve done pretty well so far.” …

Christie did himself in by that photo-op with his arm around Obama just before the 2012 election.

Similar to Rubio who will never rid himself of the gang of 8 stench when he was pushing amnesty for illegals.

JBush has a photo-op of him handing Hillary some plaque at some honorarium.

Some seemingly minor things tell us more about politicians than all of their policy papers and speeches combined.

Fat boi is in the wrong party.

[plain talk]

when a potential candidate for President of the United Sattes has to say “don’t count me out” then that does not bode well for his future. He is done.

I, for one, am willing to count him out.

“Is the election next week?” Christie responded when asked about lackluster poll numbers.

For Krispy Kreme, it was LAST week.

Were the helicopter rides at the “bulk discount” or full rate by the pound?

[MIchaelTArchangel]

I would suggest to Governor Cristie that he should change “count out” to “count on” to be more truthful.

Oh!..the other Christy ..not Mathews.

[skinkinthegrass]

a pox on all three.

[Olog-hai]

On what basis do you make that claim?

• Christie: “Fix a broken system”
• Perry: Apart from the “I don’t think you have a heart” and “import farm workers” stances, way, way stronger.

Christie’s words and actions are way more liberal than Perry’s.

[Henry Hnyellar]

Did the crowd shout back: “Why not? You are FAT!”

[MinuteGal]

Did you see Christie on the edge of that small, shiny white, round, space-age chair?

Honestly, he looked like a Humpty Dumpty who just broke out of an egg shell and perched himself on a wall.

All the king's horses and all the king's men can never put Chris in the top tier again.

The Chutzpah of this bloated buffoon is mind numbing. Chris Christie doesn't have a chance at running for dog catcher, let alone the President of the United States’ job. What a maroon.

[RC one]

Ain’t no way the governor of a state that prosecutes a 72 year old man for possession of a 250 year old flintlock pistol is a conservative, a Republican, or getting my vote. republican my a55.
