I'm of a mind that he's no RINO, he's mainstream GOP - rock-solid REPUBLICAN! He's not fringe.

Me, on the other hand, I'm a Republican in Name Only.

“GOPe plan proceeding right on track. Split the primary vote 39 ways and hand Jeb the nomination in a brokered convention.”

Jeb will win the nomination, winning 10% of the vote.

Running?...He is lucky he can walk!

Republicans were never conservative until Goldwater through Reagan, except maybe for the decade of the 1920s.

OH HELL NO

[4yearlurker]

So why does donut boy think he even has the slightest chance?

[EGPWS]

Christie is a MUCH bigger man than Cruz could ever hope to be!!

By about 250 lbs....

[kingu]

Another “former presidential candidate” and pocket the free two years of presidential salary announcement.

Watching. I’ve never seen a man use so many words and say so little. This is why many people like Trump. Trump said what he’d do. Christie is just spewing platitudes. Pathetic.
Vote Cruz!

Probably exactly right. Rove?

Maybe events have pushed me into contemplating the absurd, but I can’t help but wonder if the GOP field is so crowded because the party leadership is pushing some candidates with no chance of winning, but with name recognition, into running so as to push Ted Cruz far enough down in the polling that he gets excluded from the debates and is eliminated before having any reasonable shot at success.

Tried to watch it but between the man acting like a idiot standing behind him and his wife’s fake grin just turned the channel. His looking all over the place may be fine for a closed group but it makes him look like he is NOT ready for prime time.

BAD INITIAL PRESENTATION !

[TMA62]

I agree. I am also looking for the shouting matches between CC and the Donald.

[Uncle Miltie]

Chrissy Jumps In!

[mountainlion]

Christie ran a lying political ad against Tom Tancredo in the Colorado primary of the governor race which is a big slap in the face of conservatives. What a piece of work.

[airborne]

I wondered when he would announce.

I predicted long ago that Christie would be the next President, and I still stick by it.

The media has selected the Republican nominee for some time now.

Romney?? McCain??? They were selected to lose.

Christie will be selected to be in office when the stock market crashes, allowing the media and Dems to blame the Republican Party.

And the Republican Party will bow and scrape and beg the Dems for help and direction. Paving the way for the final step towards a "socialist utopia"

[Buckeye McFrog]

Has to be. Jeb cannot possibly win enough primaries to get the nomination any other way.

[ex-snook]

Good one. LOL.
Ya gotta think what he does to the clown car, 3 or 4 have to go!

[Trapped Behind Enemy Lines]

It will be interesting to see if DT goes the whole way and makes the necessary filings and financial disclosures required to proceed with his campaign. Many seem to doubt it.

[moovova]

OMG...Christie has a camel toe?

Eye wash please...
