Governor Christie declared his presidential intentions on Tuesday in what appears to be crowded GOP field. But “crowded” is a relative word according to the FEC’s official list of candidates.

Christie joined 12 other high-profile Republican primary candidates after holding a press conference and he will soon file with the Federal Elections Commission as a candidate of record receiving campaign contributions.

Almost like someone is dragging a $100 bill through a trailer park.

Yes, I am that frustrated with the current majority.

[Yogafist]

Well, he isn’t really the 435th. He just takes up the space of 432.

Is someone promising book deals or something?

At this point, it takes less time to list those Republicans who are NOT running for President.

What a circus!

The Fathead Party?

The Fatass Party?

Or just the Fat party?

Welcome aboard Krispy Creme boy.
Honestly I’m glad he’s in.
Just another way to slice the RINO pie.
And I know he hates sharing pie.

He went on late night tv and trashed Sarah Palin, that`s all I need to know.

[TangibleDisgust]

he fills a niche.

NE liberal RINOs who love muzzies, Obama, gun control, corruption, donuts, and the Cowboys will LOVE this guy.

he’ll get 3 or 4 votes i’m guessing.

[Homer1]

I really wish he would run as a Democrat...

[CitizenUSA]

The GOPe is not to be trusted. I’m thinking all these candidates are a ploy so as to draw delegates from conservative candidates. All a Christie or Grahamnesty have to do is win their states, then bow out when they inevitably lose everywhere else and pledge their delegates to Jebbie, right? I’m not sure, but isn’t that how it works with delegates awarded to candidates that leave the race?

Not all of them are full-term governors.

[DannyTN]

I think they get to pay themselves huge salaries from the campaign funds, plus employ tons of friends and family.

So if they have a donor base, They can rack up even if they have no chance. And in Christie’s case, he can probably knock down the governor’s salary and the campaign salary at the same time.

Let’s not be hasty! In the dog days of August, Krispey will shelter about that many fellow candidates in his shade.

And the Supremes in his penumbra. And the Village People in his buttocks cleft. And ...
