Chris Christie: Ted Cruz ‘Asinine,’ ‘Consummate Washington Insider
Breitbart ^ | 1/18/16 | Charlie Spiering

Posted on 01/18/2016 9:18:48 AM PST by don-o

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie joined the throng condemning Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 97% after he criticized "New York values" in the Fox Business debate.

"I think it was a very, very ill-advised thing for Ted to say," Christie said in an interview with TIME. "You want to be President of the United States, you have to unite this country. And for him to somehow be implying that certain values are more appropriate, more American, depending upon what region of the country you're from, is to me just asinine."

But Christie had additional criticism for Cruz, painting him as an inside politician with Washington D.C. values and an Ivy League education.

"I think Ted once again is trying to be Mr. Ivy League cute. He's Harvard and Princeton, he's federal court clerkships, he's government jobs, and somehow he's an outsider?" Christie asked. "If you took his name off and you put that résumé down, that would look like the consummate Washington insider."

No.
He is an extremely bad RINO, and should not be near the power of authority.

Look at all the people shooting for VP now. Kasich, Huckabee, now Christie.

It makes me laugh and it tells me that the smart money is starting to pile up on Trump.

Well, I don t have any smart money, but I am voting for Trump.

Turns out Christie is quite an accomplished liar. Mark Levin the other day went thru a litany of his fibs from the last debate.

The 911 card was a shoddy tactic for Trump to pull.

"Waving the bloody shirt" was once considered beyond the Pale. (There is no such beyond for the City Slicker.)

Not to mention, what does Christie know about Washington, D.C.? (Beside it’s where his good buddy Barry is currently squatting).

Are we supposed to embrace homo values, and adulterous values, liberal or vice ad nauseum values too?

Phooey!

FWIW, Christie being from metro NYC would not offer good balance. But, yeah, the wannabbees do seem to be auditioning.

Having lived in NJ my entire life, I can confirm that your statement is 100% factually accurate.
