Talk radio host and author of “The Liberty Amendments,” Mark Levin alleged that Republican Governor’s Association Chairman Chris Christie (NJ), wants Governor Scott Walker (R-WS) “taken down” on Monday.
“Scott Walker is in trouble, the Republican Governor’s Association is sitting on many millions of dollars. The Republican Governor’s Association is being very, very limited in how much money it will contribute to Scott Walker’s campaign while it has thrown millions of dollars at the campaign of Rick Snyder for Governor in Michigan, who has a comfortable lead.”
“I don’t think it’s any secret Chris Christie wants to run for president, I don’t think it’s any secret that Scott Walker, should he win, might want to run for president too.”
He then declared “Christie wants Walker taken down,” and accused Christie of “sabotaging” Walker.

Scott Walker needs to be supported by the GOP, and he needs to win re-election.
He is a formidable opponent.
He also captures quite a lot of national attention. Support Walker’s re-election GOP.
That's not for certain, he may win in spite of them.
RINOs tend to attack Conservatives with more energy than they attack LIBs/DIMs. I guess they realize that they are goners when Conservatives prevail. If the LIBs/DIMs prevail, RINOs like to lick their boots.
attention to orders:
“Now muster the circular firing squad.”
That is all. Carry on.
If Christie does more if this and by some odd series of events gets the nomination, I’ll be sitting out my first presidential election. He’s worse than Bush, part 3 or Romney, part 3.
I love Mark. I’m glad that he takes sides early in the election process. I’m counting on him to get the ball rolling for Ted.

Exactly right.
Romney is another example. The GOP needs to WIN. Then fight it out with ourselves.
The GOPe has been reversing that process, and so doing has very much damaged the GOP itself.
WIN. Then struggle amongst our own party, for control.
Of course Christie Creme (RINO-NJ) wants to take down Walker. Walker is a threat in 2016. Not that Christie (RINO-NJ) has a chance to get the nomination. The RINO vote should be voting Bush.
Don’t you know Back to the Bushes III is what we all deserve as Republicans? /sarcasm
If you actually do something to slow government growth, stop confiscatory taxation policies and rewind the mess we’re all in - the knives come out in a cricket’s heartbeat. Christie wants to be thought of as tough- but he’s just a part of the dysfunction, the figurehead for an extremely intrusive state government that picks the citizen’s clean. He should go back to shining obama’s shoes.
The logic used to be “Nominate the most conservative candidate that can win”.
The new logic is “nominate most liberal candidate that will not completely alienate the base.”
Watch what the establishment folks do through that lens and their actions make perfect sense. The establishment are liberals - they love big government.
Christie is a first class JERK! I might even donate to a democrat opponent if he keeps this crap up.
By the way.
What I mean by that, is that Romney was exactly like Christie in this regard.
We need badly, for our side to be as mean to the GOPe as the GOPe is to us.
We need to WIN ELECTIONS. And the GOPe needs to help Walker in this election. Much more than they are doing.
Christie flat out refused to help the republican candidate for governor in New York, Rob Astorino, by saying he ‘doesn’t back losers’. Astorino is the most conservative candidate New York has ever seen. All Christie had to do is stump for him a few times, and Cuomo would be finished.
Obama and Cuomo clearly have something on Christie. That’s why he folded on the Ebola quarantine and the whiny lib nurse who threatened to sue.
I will never support Christie if he is the republican candidate in 2016.
Why not Christie for President? He is no worse than Jeb or Mitt and barring an Act of God those are the two from whom the RNC selection will be made. The primaries are irrelevant- again, barring an Act of God. The main difference between him and them is he wants the job. They just want the Nomination. Christie impresses me as a TR with a much heavier dose of pure cynicism. TR was bad news for business. Christie would be much worse because he would have a much more powerful government with which to work.
If Scott Walker wins with the opposition of the Republican Govenors’ Conference then he will be a real star. I would like to see that happen.
I will not vote for a Bush or a Romney. They will not reverse the current situation but only build on it, no different from what a Democrat would do, just a little more smoothly.
Under that assumption, it's also reasonable to assume that Christie's embrace of Obama right before the 2012 elections was an attempt to knee cap Romney so that Obama could win in 2012, paving the way for a Christie run for the Presidency in 2016.
