Christie, Establishment Darling [Henry Kissinger Supports the Obama Lover]
National Review ^ | 8/20/13 | Robert Costa

Posted on 08/20/2013 9:34:38 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

Chris Christie’s darkest moment, at least in the eyes of some members of the Republican establishment, came on a chilly Sunday night in early November of last year, just days before the presidential election. What Christie and his team did that evening, in a series of terse e-mails and calls with the pleading Romney camp, remains murky. On Capitol Hill, insiders still treat the episode like the Zapruder film, analyzing it and trying to discern, from limited context, what exactly happened.

But what didn’t happen is indisputable: Christie didn’t attend Mitt Romney’s rally at Shady Brook Farm in Lower Makefield, Pa., an affluent township in the Philadelphia suburbs. Christie’s aides insist he was busy working on Hurricane Sandy relief, but to this day many of Romney’s donors and former advisers suspect the governor coolly abandoned them at the eleventh hour. They note that Trenton, New Jersey’s state capital, was only a 15-minute drive away..

Former secretary of state Henry Kissinger... tells me Christie remains a top-tier candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, owing to his willingness to wade into foreign policy and his ability to broaden the Republican coalition. “We’re friendly, and I think extremely highly of him, and he knows I’d be delighted if he became a national candidate,” he says. “Conservatives should recognize his long-term potential.”

Chris Christie can shove it. He won't get my vote. His support of sodomy put to rest any chance of me doing anything for him. There is no difference between him and a big government Demon rat.

They had to call the Trenton fire dept to use the jaws of life to pry Christie’s lips from Obama’s ass.

Same as Obama, Christie only cares about himself.

Back in 2012 when there was talk/speculation about Christie throwing his hat in the ring, Kissinger contributed $5000 to Christie and rushed to Christie's side to give him some foreign policy advice. Christie, like Kissinger, is a foreign policy realist.

Also recall that Rand Paul declared that he didn't want to fight with Realist Christie, even tho Christie is his presidential competitor.

Rand wants to fight with the NeoCons but he desperately these Realists as allies, otherwise he will be labeled as an isolationist like his father.
