Christie will run for president

[VoluntaryAmerican]

He did not laugh off a question about his political future when asked during his first re-election debate Tuesday.

“I am not going to declare tonight ... that I am or I’m not running for president,” Christie said. “I won’t make those decisions until I have to.”

Facing a skeptical moderator, he later quipped: “I can walk and chew gum at the same time. I can do this job and also deal with my future. And that’s what I will do.”

Good for him. Can't wait to see him fail epically.

[Anti Federalist]

Watch the "Rand friendly" talking heads line right up behind him.

All of ya voters. Get in ma belly!

[shane77m]

Hopefully he will run as a democrat. He might have to fight off Hillary though.

[cbc58]

if christie and paul joined forces they would be a strong ticket. i am only saying this because many people like one or the other and that is the name of the game in getting votes. i know they don't like each other but the dems are giving everything away to buy votes and that will be hard to overcome.

[brandon]

Did he really compare running for president while being a governor with "walking and chewing gum"? Wow... prick

They are philosophically incompatible.

They would not get my vote.

A man who has no self control wants to run the country?

People with no self control think that self control is impossible and think others need to be controlled for that reason.

I think that guy No Confidence is looking like a strong candidate for 2016.

[kahless]

The media absolutely loves Christie and want him as the Republican nominee since there is little chance he can beat their anointed Democrat. If he does win, it is still some what of a win for the the establishment. This is similar to the 10 year love fest the Progressives had for Romney and McCain before they decided to run for potus.

They rig both sides and history just keeps repeating itself over and over. The people continually being played never seem to learn from history.

That's silly.

[Root]

I won't even vote for Christie for governor. I'd never vote for him to be prez.

Frankly we're politically incompatable with most of the electoric. That's why Ron could only pull in the teens.

[HOLLYWOOD]

All of ya voters. Get in ma belly!Incredible self restraint... if only Christie put in as much effort as he does to mooching off of Federal taxpayers and going to Springsteen concerts.

[Kords21]

So if/when the establishment get their way it'll be another choice between Democrat and Democrat lite? Isn't a two party system great?

[Cleaner44]

The GOP is moving past liberal candidates like Romney and Christie. After discovering the lie that Romney was "electable" I think the voters will not be inclined to fall for that bullshit again. The voters care about Cruz and Paul, the media cares about Christie. It will be an easy conversation with other voters to tell them to reject the liberal media choice of Christie.

[ronpaulfollower999]

As a Democrat or Republican?

[ZENemy]

That's silly.

No its not.

Its very common for those that have no self control to impose control on others.

[ZENemy]

As a Democrat or Republican?

Im sorry, is there a difference?

[Red Green]

Run for president!? I can tell by that man's size he's never ran a day in his life!

[Cabal]

I highly doubt Christie will be 'running' anywhere... rolling, or perhaps waddling, but not running.

[Christian Liberty]

They would not get my vote.

I might still if Paul was at the top on the top of the ticket, but I wouldn't be happy about it.

But if Rand ran for VP under Christie, I would never, ever support him again.

@The OP- Christie can run?":p

Let's get to the facts... I'm calling it now: Christ Christie = 'Newt Gingrich Distraction' PART DEUX 2016


Chris Christie at Sheldon Adelson fundraiser
http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?423079-Chris-Christie-at-Sheldon-Adelson-fundraiser&p=5154472&viewfull=1#post5154472
Adelson single-handidly funded a pro-Newt Gingrich super PAC that kept the presidential candidate alive in the 2012 primaries for a time. Adelson, a pro-Israel hardliner, Christie could be a natural fit. He has spent much of the week in a fight with Sen. Rand Paul over the NSA surveillance programs.

Well I guess we know what the feud were all about.





The Republican Jewish Coalition, which counts Adelson as a board member, yesterday sent an “action alert” to its 45,000 members, directing them... “This is not a partisan issue,” the coalition said in its message.

They own both parties... that's why there's been a policy coup at the Federal government level... which means WARS for Israel and obviously reflects the, 'Party of One'.
All you need to know: Sheldon Adelson alone, bought $150+ million worth of Republican/GOP government politicians. http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthr...=1#post5204458 (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?425974-O-Bomb-Ya-to-make-Syria-statement&p=5204458&viewfull=1#post5204458)

Top 5 Pro-Israel/Zionists donors bought almost $1/4 of a BILLION in Republican/GOP officials/PACS/Lobbyists/policies, just in the 2012 election year. The money is laundered through "middle men" like GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich and Karl Rove, with PACs like Crossroads GPS.

Yes. I have to agree with you there.

[angelatc]

No its not.

Its very common for those that have no self control to impose control on others.

I'd rather have a jolly fat man as president than a skinny judgmental narcissist any day. People who worship and celebrate themselves are far more unpleasant than those who apparently enjoy a good steak.

Second, looking at our government officials, I think the control freaks clearly are far more represented by the physically fit crowd than vice-versa.

Cruz is my nightmare. He's GWB all over again. He'll run on the same platform, then chuck it overboard if he wins the Presidency.

Cruz is a legit threat to a Paul nomination, but Christie isn't. I think Rand will rise above all others once the debates start and they are all on stage together. Just think about how Perry was rising like a rocket... until he opened his mouth and then he dropped like a rock. People like Rand and agree with him. The only reason people voted for Bachmann, Perry, Cain, Gingrich, Santorum was because the hated Romney even more. Who knows, Cruz might not even run in 2016 because Rand will be unstoppable.

I dunno, the red-state fascists are selling Bush 3.0 (Cruz) pretty hard.

Truth.

It's not fat guys out there pushing the non smoking, helmet law, carbon neutral, no dodgeball at school, Safety Uber Alles lifestyle.

[fisharmor]

Oh I couldn't care less whether he's fat. I just think turnabout is fair play.

"Governor Christie, in 2012 the issue of a candidate's age featured prominently in primary debates. Given that age is a physical feature beyond a candidate's control, how do you defend overall poor health of a candidate, especially considering it is a contollable physical feature?"

I can dream...
