Chris Christie is poised to reclaim frontrunner status

Influential Republicans in early presidential primary states believe New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is poised to once again become a frontrunner for the party’s 2016 nomination, following a news report that federal scrutiny of a bridge-closing scandal has not implicated him.

“If he had been found in the wrong, he would have been irreparably damaged,” said Matt Moore, chairman of the South Carolina Republican Party. “This is hugely helpful.”

thanks entropy12. Why? Because he’s a gun-grabber and muzzie-cuddler, and a itinerant jihadist just committed (another?) murder in gun-free NJ. Partisan Media Shills will stop at nothing to push the Demagogic Party.

First of all the voters decide the nominee, not a committee of GOPe.

Second, 2 or more conservatives staying in the race can not defeat one RINO candidate. Vote splitting will always kill the conservative candidates. Like in 2012 when Newt & Santorum & Cain and Bachmann were all running against ONE moderate from Massachusetts. There simply are not enough conservative voters in the country to anoint 2 or more conservatives over 1 RINO.
I know, reality sucks.

Third, if a repeat of 2012 happens in 2016, when 1 RINO defeated 2 more conservative candidates, are you OK to help Hillary get elected by staying home on election day? Do you really prefer Hillary over a RINO?

No need to thank me. I am not voting for Christy in the primaries. My support will go to Perry, Cruz, Rand, Pence, as of now. BUt things can change. Election is eons away.

I will not vote for Christie under any circumstance.
I cast my last RIno vote for Ronney two years ago.
No more.

No they won’t. Hillary will own Christie. He is typical RINO.

"I certainly do not want a mild mannered Mitt-clone in debates with Hillary. I would like to see someone who can counter punch."

Same here. That's one reason why Cruz is my candidate.

If it's Christie vs Hillary, what difference does it make?

Except that the true liberals will be as disgusted as we would be.

How are you affected by voting for Romney in 2012?
He never gained any power to cause us any problems!
When you lose an election, you are irrelevant without any power to do change any laws. So your comment does not make any sense.

Ask McCain, Romney, Ryan, Palin etc how many laws they have changed or initiated since losing elections. Answer: NONE, ZIP, ZERO, NADA.

I disagree. As bad a RINO as Christy is, Hillary is 10 times worse. She is for unrestricted abortions on demand, even murdering a live born fetus during a botched abortion.

And Hillarycare is the foundation of Obamacare.

I agree they are both bad, one very bad, other quite bad.

However one major difference between Hillary and Christy is that Hilary is for no restrictions on abortions. She is OK with late term abortions when the fetus is capable of surviving on it’s own. She is even OK with killing the fetus if born alive during a botched abortion. I can never do anything to help Hillary get elected.

Cruz is my dream nominee. But then I must face reality. Dreams are never real.

Either can I. I can also never do anything to help Christie get elected. I don't believe for ONE MINUTE that he'd choose judges that support ending the slaughter of pre-separation infants.

The RINOs always play us on social issues. Then they get in office and backstab us. The judges? They gave us Obamacare. Besides which, the US is going down anyway, and I'm disgusted, but it's a lot more than the abortion culture that has to change.

Sorry. But unless we get a true constitutional conservative with a voting record, I'm not voting.Won't be fooled again!

My advice is don’t run a Dole, a McCain, a Romney, a Christie style
candidate.

It makes perfect sense to me. I don’t vote for RINO’s anymore.
I no longer hold my nose.

Well, then, you're welcome to Christie. I'm done voting for "very bad" over "quite bad."
