Christie will NOT get my vote for dog catcher much less President. He may as well hang it up if he thinks he could be elected. Just another RINO/CINO.
Christie has a couple of things going for him that the GOP-E loves:
1. He is a big government liberal rino
2. He is pretty much unelectable, and if by some outside chance the were to win, then he’d still be a big government liberal rino.
3. Social Conservatives now know what he is and will stay home.
So, the GOP-E will go all in during the primaries to get someone like him to win, will smear the conservatives (witness the efforts already underway with Cruz and Paul) relentlessly.
The divided conservative, circular firing squad base will go along with these smears, and with their personal purity code they will help tear down all the conservatives.
Then the “Vote Christie or You Support Satan” campaign will begin on Free Republic, and everyone will pretty much agree that Christie is a wee bit better than Satan, anyone who objects will be branded pro-Satan, and the election will be held and another socialist will be in office.
Does this sound about right to you?
