Fat chance for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s White House aspirations in the wake of his post-Sandy bromance with President Obama.

National Republican political consultant John McLaughlin said Christie didn’t do himself any favors with his enthusiastic embrace of Obama after Hurricane Sandy devastated his state — or with his arguably self-serving Republican National Convention keynote speech....

McLaughlin added that just “a couple of days after” Christie lavished praise on Obama, the president “certainly might have deserved some criticism, and still to this day, because the federal response in the area is nonexistent in a lot of ways.”

Christie has been unapologetic for his praise of Obama and noted his stumping on Mitt Romney’s behalf.

We already have an alternate party, the Constitution party. Doesn’t get any support

At thi stage it is hard to see how any “R” candidate can ever win, for OH, VA, FL, and CO may be out of reach henceforth.

The Bush name was so toxic that it played a major role in re-electing Zero last week. Do you really think it will be rehabilitated in another four years?

To be clear, I never vote against a RINO once nominated. Christie will not get my vote. The democrats will have NJ. Christie screwed NJ and the entire USA. I hate him now.

More to the point....

Fiscal Conservatives are neither....

Whenever I hear someone labeled as a “Fiscal Conservative”....I know they are not conservative

Christie needs to be primaried out. He is pro-Islamic Terrorist, Pro-Big Government, and a Democrat in a Fat Suit

Yes. Primary him and if that doesn’t work support his ‘Rat opponent. Anything to keep him from being considered for 2016

If the media wants to pick him as the GOP patsy in 2016, it will happen. And there will be hand-wringing about “having to vote for him.” But its all a charade. National elections have become farcical aquatic ceremonies as the means of selecting our leaders.

Count me out.

Can we FINALLY be done with that arrogant assclown Ann Coulter? She relentlessly pimped for both Crispy Creme and Mittens, and that very combo led us to a RINO implosion that may destroy the GOP. Why do Conservatives keep buying her books - which tell us what we already think - and make rich a relentless advocate for gay rights, RINOs and Sharia apologists like Christie? ENOUGH WITH COULTER. Boycott the bitch!

“The image of him embracing Obama with a big stupid grin on his face”

The image I recall is him looking at Hussein with what we used to call “goo goo eyes”. It was looooove.

When I saw him and the Messiah on TV doing their ‘pre-victory” tour, I was so focused on Christie’s white shoes that I didn’t think to look to see if he was also wearing his kneepads.

Um they already nominated a Jerimiah Wright/ mooselimb and he got in in spite of my best effort.

Well, that's my point. And when they get the next one nominated, and the GOPE nominates Christie, you'll campaign and vote for him, as will I. As we did with Romney, who is repugnant to me. But I've quit saying, "I'll never vote for [the latest RINO]."

Christie is toast! Cory Booker is black, a Rhodes Scholar, and a Democrat. Biden might even say, “I mean, you got the second mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” If you recall, he said Obama was the “first”.
