Christie is too normal for the GOP base to elect. They think that their problems are that they aren't further to the right. Christie would have to totally jump out of character to hit those prerequisites.

Despite Christie being a Republican, his record is that of a moderate outside of a few issues. Also if you live in the state, Democratic governors have been bad for the state. So it actually makes sense to endorse Christie.

Before predicting his presidential run, you're forgetting this:



Unless there's a dramatic shift in the way the Republican party goes forward or if the Tea Party decides to create their own political party, Christie has a long and bumpy road ahead if he runs.

The Tea Party weren't big fans of McCain or Romney, but both won their primary races. Cruz isn't a real threat and he could eventually end up like Michele Bachmann if he's not careful. The tea party may like Rubio's positions outside of immigration, but they don't like him. I would argue they don't like Cruz deep down for many of the same reasons they don't like Rubio. They come off as "tryhards". Rand Paul has some loyal support, but not enough to win a primary. Outside of his positions he's also just too plain in much the same way as Paul Ryan.

Honestly I feel the 2016 republican primary is going to be the end of the Tea Party. The establishment is going to go hard on them and Christie is going to be their man. HIs stances on Guns, Healthcare, and immigration is going to pull in a lot of independents. Once the Republican party starts talking about facts And what plans they have for the country and boots those retards out its going to be open season on Democrats.

http://www.gallup.com/poll/165317/republican-party-favorability-sinks-record-low.aspx

With the Republican-controlled House of Representatives engaged in a tense, government-shuttering budgetary standoff against a Democratic president and Senate, the Republican Party is now viewed favorably by 28% of Americans, down from 38% in September. This is the lowest favorable rating measured for either party since Gallup began asking this question in 1992.


With things as they are now, a general election would be a gimme for the Democrats regardless of who ran.

That said, I know 2016 is a ways away but I don't see too much reason to be optimistic about the GOP right now. And it's not like the Tea Party will just go away.

Trying to use a poll about congress to analyze presidential politics is a huge mistake, first becuase people do not vote for congress, they vote for a congress person, so the only congressional poll that really matters is the poll in the actual district

That is why even with the low poll number it's likely the republicans will stay in control of the house of rep

Secondly, this is just my opinion but I think there is a huge pendulumn in American politics that makes people want to switch the party in the White House every 8 years, people just get tired of he same old same old, I think that is what pushed Obama ahead of McCain and Clinton and why Jeb bush and Hillary aren't going to ever be president

Congress and the executive branch are two entirely different things. The polls are down because of the shutdown. It'll look completely different come 2016. It's easy to abandon a dog when its down but the GOP is going to make a huge image overhaul in the coming years. The Tea Party is going to be the scapegoat for all the bad decisions the GOP has produced in the last 8 years. Christi is going to deliver an image of pulling the people together and sweeping all the lunatics out of Washington so rational people can get to work on saving the nation. Obama looking like a complete Dunce over the ACA website debacle is merely helping his cause.

Shaq said one of the biggest reasons he supports Christie is because of Christie's support for school vouchers to get poor black children into good schools. Of course the left wingers on this board support white liberals in keeping black kids trapped in failing schools.

And Shaq is the Uncle Tom??????

Christie is dangerous, politically. He's a master politician, on the level of a Bill Clinton or Obama. He's also very good at hiding his far right views with the aggression and bullying nature of a demagogue. We gonna forget this is the guy that cuts his budgets by fukking over teachers while asking nothing from richer citizens?

The good news: republicans are too vindictive and stupid to nominate him. I spent a paragraph shytting on Christie but even I'll admit his handling of Sandy was perfect. But instead of celebrating a politician for putting people over politics, the far right is STILL mad that he worked with Obama. They're so hateful of Obama that they would have preferred Christie to tell Obama to fukk off and keep his big government FEMA/clean up crew in DC. That's some bullshyt.

I don't think Hilary will get as much of the black vote as obama did IMO, but she would definitely get more of the white working class and white people overall then Barrack did if she ran in 2016. This is not even counting women who she would get more then obama did as well for obvious reasons


What in interested in is who will be the VP picks

This. Liberals value schools administrators more than education itself. It's comical.
