“warning Paul not to pick a fight with Christie”
Well, if the GOP leadership would like to see the party without the Tea Party/Conservatives, then all they need to do is nominate Christie as their candidate for POTUS. Conservatives will stay home and GOP royalty will be staying home too - losers......
The one thing Christie has going for him is he should win his home state, New Jersey and it is considerable, he could possibly take other Eastern States. I know a lot of people don’t like him but those are facts nonetheless. Anne Coulter has even jumped ship on Christie though. We will see.
