Chris Christie: Libertarians Like Rand Paul Are Kind Of Dangerous, Huh?
— DrewM

Welcome to 2016. It's on.

Mr. Christie had told fellow GOP governors in Aspen, Colo., on Thursday that Mr. Paul is part of a “strain of libertarianism that’s going through parties right now and making big headlines I think is a very dangerous thought.”

Mr. Christie on Thursday also once again found a way to compliment President Obama while slapping at Mr. Paul.

“President Obama has done nothing to change the policies of the Bush administration in the war on terrorism,” he told fellow Republican governors at a meeting.

“And I mean practically nothing,” he said. “And you know why? Cause they work.”

Christie then suggested that Paul sit down with widows and orphans from 9/11 and explain his position to them.

Why should Paul or anyone not thrilled with extensive and illegal surveillance have to explain why the failures of Bill Clinton (noted non-libertarian) invalidates their positions?

This is Christie's MO..make big outrageous charges to put his opponents on the defensive. Honestly, it was a lot more fun when he was using on Democrats. Once he gets beyond his re-election campaign in NJ, where he's working hard to run up the bi-partisan score, he'll turn to his presidential bid.

My prediction: Absent some sort of complete meltdown in NJ in the next 2 years, he'll be the GOP nominee in 2016.

He's going to win "the invisible primary" for money, endorsements and campaign staff.

Don't think so? The GOP big donors are going to love his bi-partisan appeal (who else in the field could win in a state like Jersey? Twice. You want the great white whale of Pennsylvania? Christie is your man.).

I'm not saying that "the establishment" will select him and it's over but on balance, more money and organization is better than less. He'll have the donors from DC to Boston locked up, plus I'm sure his good buddy Mitt Romney will share his list with him.

Voters will pick him because, while he'll piss off some vocal ones, he'll please plenty of others...RINOs will love him for his willingness to scold conservatives, unlike Romney he's unquestionably pro-life, he's run rough shod over Democrats for years in NJ so he's not going to be out done in the "tougher on Democrats" contest than anyone, including Scott Walker (who just doesn't have the big name recognition like Christie), and he's obviously going to appeal to hawks.

While his acceptance of ObamaCare money for Medicaid expansion will annoy conservatives, by 2016 the fight won't be over how to repeal ObamaCare, it will be how to make it workable a bit more conservative. Christie will trot out his pension reforms to check that off.

Yeah, he's on Team Amnesty but again, squishes will love that.

And don't forget he can give the hardcore conservative and I love America speeches as well as Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.

He'll be the "Not Ted Cruz/Rick Perry/Rand Paul" candidate for the establishment once Rubio is seen to be damaged goods.

Honestly, there's a lot to like about Christie from a Republican point of view (as opposed to a conservative one) and my guess is many conservatives who say they'll never support him will come around.

The only way Christie wins the primary is if the entire 2012 class of candidates don't run.

 

That's not to say he won't finish second and thus be the 2020 "GOP" nominee.

6 In all seriousness, though, I will not be voting for Christie.  o.O  Though, in all fairness, I will not be voting GOP at all.

63 Christie must've learned that false choice move from his bromance with Obama: You either support the federal government's abrogation of everyone's 4th amendment rights or you hate the 9/11 widows and orphans. Yeah, fuck that. I'd gladly sit down with any number of them and explain that the terrorists killed their husbands/fathers not because of anything they did but because they hate what America stands for. Surrendering our freedoms in the name of fighting terrorism is a pure victory for al Qaeda and is the best way to ensure that the 9/11 widows & orphans' loved ones died in vain. Bring it on, fat man.

64 Christie obviously is hoping to be to the "right" of other Repubs on national security and portray Ryan,etc as soft and weak.

Already has:

Christie to Huddle with Romney Donors

According to the Newark Star-Ledger, the Garden Stater will head to Utah in June to meet with Mitt RomneyÂ’s donor network:

At the personal invitation of Mitt Romney, Christie will be a featured speaker at a conference of donors and “thought leaders” the former presidential candidate is hosting in Park City, Utah.

Posted by: mrp at July 26, 2013 08:15 AM (HjPtV)

91 I totally broke it off with Christie when he engaged in that disgusting bromance with TFG after Sandy. Rubio never did it for me. Always thought he was the Affirmative action hire of the Republican establishment. And, after the immigration fiasco, he demonstrated that he is both (a) pure RINO, and (b) a complete fool. Christie is smart enough to realize that his inner RINO is well out of the closet now, and is just going with his new constituency. Rubio is just too stupid to realize the jig is up, and that he has no future on a national ticket requiring any support from the conservative faction. Fuck them both, hard, with the knobby fruit of your choice, and sideways.

Only real advantage I see to a moderate GOPer as POTUS rather than Hillary would be we at least stand a chance of getting another Alito on SCOTUS (while always running the risk of another Roberts or Kennedy). 

16 years of Obama and Hillary appointed SCOTUS justices would be a disaster as Lib-Dem appointees never seem to "evolve" on the bench.

Not much of a hope...but it's all I've got.  Well, that and booze.

101 There is no doubt that Christie is a double agent working for the Dems. Way to turn off the youth vote and piss off a sizable wing of the GOP base. Loved his comment about coming to Joisey and talking to 911 victims, whatever the hell that means . Did he talk to them before appointing a Hamas supporter to a federal judgeship?

103 I agree that there should be debate within the party leadership on these issues but they should be done behind closed doors.   Cristie has done nothing but damaged the Republican brand more and  more than ever I  think that  has always  been  his intention.  I think he truly is a agent provocateur   and has been ever since he took the Republican label.

So he's hostile to guns, is gonna green light amnesty (if it hasn't happened by then) but dude won't raise my taxes so i'm good. He'll be more friendly to corporate america than Hillary will... This isn't a purity test is a basic fucking compatibility test. People are ready to burn Rubio at the stake over amnesty Christy will get a pass on that how?

Honestly, there's a lot to like about Christie from a Republican point of view (as opposed to a conservative one) and my guess is many conservatives who say they'll never support him will come around.

 

That fat fuck had a chance to tell the dog-eating cokehead to go pound sand when he insisted on visiting NJ for the goddamn optics.  At the very least, Christie could have made it clear by body language that he couldn't stand having to walk Preznit Mommy-Jeans around.  Instead, he did everything short of worming his greasy snout into Barky's fly and rooting around like a hog for his dick so he could give it a good long suck.

 

Chris Christie is a fat, bullying, collaborationist piece of  Establishment  shit who should get rectal cancer, prolapsed hemorrhoids, herpes simplex 12  and die.  I.  Will.  NEVER.  Vote.  For.  Him.

Posted by: Mary Poppins' Practically Perfect Piercing at July 26, 2013 08:17 AM (zF6Iw)

109 Prediction: Christie will run and lose the 2016 Repub primary. He'll start strong but lose as Repubs learn his views. Someone will campaign to his right on guns and abortion and other issues. It will get mean and nasty. Hillary will be the Dem. In the general election the media will constantly try to get Christie to passively-aggressively attack the Repub nominee. Christie will be nice until he is passed over for the VP slot. And then he'll go full Christie and slag the Repub nominee and praise Hillary for understanding the American people and say how it would be a credit to America to have its female president. He'll do photo ops with Obama and just generally be the face of -- "even fat angry Repub Christie thinks the Repub nominee is too right wing".

I voted for all the Republican candidates mentioned above, but I didn't like it. It was better than the alternative. The problem is that a true conservative has never run, has never made the case for conservatism to see if there are voters that can be swayed. Romney lost to the worst President that the USA has ever had. What does that tell you. Voters are going to vote for the real Democrat rather than the squishy alternative.

 

I would like to see Christie run as a Democrat. He would get it. Then we could put someone like Cruz up and see who wins.

Posted by: Harry at July 26, 2013 08:18 AM (ib4tw)

116 One of the reasons Christie has been reasonably successful in NJ is the power of the governor here.

If he wins in 2016, he will discover that bluster and arrogance won't work at the federal level.

The one saving grace will be that he can read a balance sheet, understands budgets, and is no fan of out-of-control spending.

Everything else is pretty pathetic.

If you told me on November 3rd that Romney would get the majority of the white woman vote, I would have taken it in a heartbeat and thought he had it in the bag.

Drew is telling us right now, this about Christie:   HE IS OUR PICK AND YOU WILL LIKE IT, WE WILL WHIP YOU AND DESTROY HIS OPPOSITION UNTIL YOU CRY UNCLE.

 

At least we know which way this Blog is going to swing, now we can start watching the show as it's bloggers slowly destroy the opposition.  What will it be?  3 good Paul stories for every bad one for a few months, then 2 vs 2, then 1 vs 4?

172 This guy would be the most hostile to gun ownership nominee the GOP has ever put forward. So if his bi partisan bonafides demand he sign an assault weapons ban or gun magazine ban passed by a democrat controlled congress he will. The most powerful medicine a GOP'er has in his bag of tricks is selling out the conservative base. Just as only Nixon could go to China, only a Republican could disarm the citizenry in the current political climate. With democrats behind a gun control push, we can count on the team mentality to keep the squishes in line. If a sitting Republican POTUS joins in, then it will be RKBA vs. all the democrats plus two-thirds or more of the GOP who will be droning on with their endless talking points about how shrewd the gun-grabber-in-chief is being by making this deal. I could see Christie and Boehner in tears now: "Please don't throw us in the briar patch!" Gun control is a survival/existential issue.

I think you're being overly optimistic toward Christie here.  Remember that Christie's appearence with Obama was considered to be one of the things that gave Obama a last minute boost right before the election (while Romney's goods drive for the survivors only made the news because the Red Cross complained about it).  While I don't know whether or not Romney is likely to hold a grudge, I do suspect that Romney will think twice about automatically providing the entire support apparatus to Christie.  There's no reason why he couldn't route it to someone else instead.

(via PJ Tatler)-

According to RNC sources frustrated with the race-based effort, paid RNC consultant Tom Hofeller (thofeller@rnchq.org) is spending RNC donations to develop race-based criteria to grab Texas and other states and place them back into federal receivership. The sources tell Tatler that nearly all of the members of the actual committee have been kept in the dark about this effort, and no mention is ever made in RNC fundraising efforts — for good reason, because GOP donors would be furious.

Hofeller, a long-time RNC consultant on redistricting, has devised ways to force several states back into federal receivership by amending the Voting Rights Act to grab states and force them to obtain Washington, D.C. approval. He is hopeful that Congressional Republicans will use his RNC-generated ideas to accomplish this goal.

261 On the RNC thing -- it appears to be that some RNC dude believes the claim that the Voting Rights Act actually helps Repubs in the South by forcing so many blacks into districts to help black Democrats win with overwhelming majorities. The idea is by making districts with 70-80% Dems that helps Repubs win marginal districts 55-45. And that Dems would actually do better if they spread out their voters more. It's a really in the weeds arguments and might be right, I don't know. It's plausible. The idea being that the Dems determination to elect blacks in the South have actually hurt them in electing Democrats. So it's not that the RNC has a traitor so much as a guy with a different opinion about whether VRA hurts or helps Repubs. Course, he could be a traitor. But this is a legit debateable issue. There are many people on the right who think repealing the VRA will actually help Dems. Fewer blacks will win elections in the South but more Democrats.

Too bad, too, because I wish they would.  I see people even on this thread swearing up and down that they'll vote for Hillary if Christie is the nominee, and I think, "Why on earth?  Why not vote third party?  It's not like the 'third parties just help elect Democrats' argument will have any meaning for you anymore."

Districts are always going to be Gerrymandered and that's not going to change with repeal of the VRA.  And with the corrupt government efforts by democrats to gerrymander to win more districts would have been approved under the VRA anyways.  What it has been holding up is state efforts in the south to stop voter fraud through Voter ID laws.

298 wrong, some Republicans think the VRA -- despite being a stupid law -- actually helps Repubs. So it looks like an RNC staffer is trying to secretly help the Dems reinstate it. It's not surprising behavior from an RNC staffer, who only cares about electing Repubs by hook or by crook. He might be wrong of course. But it's logical from that perspective. The argument that the VRA has actually harmed Democrats in the South has weight. Especially given how poorly the Democrats have fared in the South since the passing of the VRA.

I'll take him as governor, but I will not support him for national office.

We should print t-shirts with that on them and sell them along with AOSHQ shirts!

327 Oh and here's a grand idea: if any candidate with success under their belt is clearly to the right of Christie on several issues, let's not play RINO BURN HIM AND SEND HIM BACK TO HELL which Christie will be more than happy to exploit, ok? How do you think every alt that was more conservative than Romney got burned? Perry botched things, then had the 'have a heart' comment, which Team Romney was all too happy to exploit. If you make all of your opponents into RINOs over every single trangression, your own RINOishness starts to fade from sight and you can sit back and watch all your opponents destroy each other.

335 Honestly, there's a lot to like about Christie from a Republican point of view (as opposed to a conservative one) and my guess is many conservatives who say they'll never support him will come around.

You're really, really overdoing that "pushing the Hot Air button" bit, Drew.

340 If gun rights is your big line in the sand issue, getting a gun control Republican elected should be your a-number-1 fear. I fear a gun-grabbing Republican president much more than another Obama term. Obama couldn't make more gun control happen even with high profile mass murders and after having the BATFE seed the Mexican drug cartels. All a President Christie would have to do is decide over breakfast one morning that it would be nice to have some "reasonable" background check or registration improvements make it into law, and it would be a done deal. Then, when the grabbers have grabbed all the guns, the next Obama who runs for office won't need control of the IRS to silence the opposition. All he'll need to do is call on his version of the OFAers to go door-to-door to convince people how they should vote.

342 I have to say that I was pretty horrified when I moved to NC and learned about the VRA first hand. I mean I'm used to gerrymandering, ethnic ward phenomena, etc., but to see the codified electoral segregation, which is what it has become, was a shocker. It seems backward on every level, no matter the original intent.

Posted by: Lincolntf at July 26, 2013 09:05 AM (ZshNr)

343 330, Malmutt, I agree with most of what you said, but there's another element you forgot: the fickleness of the primary electorate. Rick Perry says "heartless" in a debate once and suddenly we've got a bunch of butthurt conservatives who will never vote for him, and they move onto the next flavor of the week, until they find something else they don't like about that person, and on and on and on it goes until they've decided they can't vote for any of them. Now the fact that all of these guys won't clear the field in the first place is definitely the major issue, but don't discount the spitefulness of the primary electorate.

Posted by: Paul Zummo at July 26, 2013 09:06 AM (Ud5vq)

344 @341 That's the thing...I don't know exactly WHY I would vote for Christie honestly. He's not good on gun control. He's wishy washy on abortion. He's wishy washy on immigration. He's wishy washy on Obamacare. He's no good on gay marriage... So someone tell me....exactly what would I be voting FOR?

348 "Christie then suggested that Paul sit down with widows and orphans from 9/11 and explain his position to them."
-------
That  is emblematic of the mindset among politicians these days. An appeal to emotional reaction is most often contrary to what is logical and necessary to the well-being of the Republic. It is the same rationale that is being applied by most politicians to the illegal immigration problem, student loans, etc., etc.

It is pie-in-the-sky, fairy dust, BS.

If anyone thinks that I am indifferent to the sufferings of others, then that is just more of the same hooey. I am VERY concerned about the well-being of others, the difference is that I feel that a strong, free, economically sound Republic is what what best serves everyone's interest. The collective well-being flows from that, and compromises on that front ultimately cost everyone.

Posted by: Mike Hammer at July 26, 2013 09:07 AM (aDwsi)

349 I think Perry's problem wasn't so much him botching it. That can normally be forgiven, it's just who didn't have a flashback to 8 years of Dubya from Mushmouth, Texas? People facepalmed said "oh God not again" and moved on to another candidate. Shit I think Michele Bachmann pure conservative did more to get us Romney since she immediately assumed Ron Paul's role of knifing anyone to the right of Romney.

No kidding, man.  Look, Christie was fun in the beginning when none of us outside of the Northeast knew a damned thing about him.  He talked shit to unions, which will always score points with us, and he got steam to come out of lefties' ears.  He talked a good game about fiscal prudence, too.  Problem is, talking is about it is all he was good for.  He's a standard issue big-goverment Republican everywhere but when it comes to public unions.  Happy to raise taxes, jack up spending, violate civil liberties, etc.

358 Guiliani's problem was he was pro abortion, Fat man's actually been a lifelong pro lifer if i've got that right. Granted he's in a state where he's never going to be able to advance one inch of a pro life agenda. So fatso won't have a problem with the single issue pro life crowd. the single issue pro gun crowd on the other hand are going to hate him.

Maybe, Mallamutt. I still think Christie won't play outside of the north east. Since so much media, including Ace, is centered in the NE, they have a natural bias.

 

I could be wrong, though. I'm closer to Texas, so I have the same bias toward non-NE candidates like Rick Perry and Rand Paul.

Posted by: Song from Jurassic Park at July 26, 2013 09:12 AM (Z+7WE)

360 And, about the guns: While on the trail, Christie will get endorsements from all the right people. He will say the things he needs to say to put the RKBA doubters' minds to rest. And I'll believe the motherfucker and probably vote for him. Because I'm retarded like that.

Posted by: FRONT TOWARD LEFT at July 26, 2013 09:15 AM (V3kRK)

361 I don't see Christie winning any southern primaries. He might win Iowa, provided the field is all white and they don't have a novelty candidate to grab on to.

Re: the Widows that have to be talked to.

Does Christy mean the widows who we, as taxpayers, paid money to for the loss of their loved ones?

Does Christy mean the widows who we, as citizens, sent our sons, daughters, husbands, wives off to war for?

Does Christy mean the widows, who we, as fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters buried our war dead for to basically avenge the deaths of these widows loved ones?

Does Christy mean those widows?  I would relish the prospect of discussing this with them.

I'll just go off the reservation if Crist-ie is nominated. Cast a third party protest vote, or start working on those emigration papers.

Note that Crist-ie is out there constantly making big speeches slamming the rest of the GOP, while Ted F-in Cruz is out there constantly making big speeches slamming Obama and the Democrats.

After McQueeg and the Romneybot3000, are Republicans REALLY wanting to nominate yet another guy who expends his heaviest firepower attacking his own party and then suddenly goes Winchester on rhetorical ammo once running against the other party? Really? Really? Again? Sure about that?

That such has been the case since, at least, 1996 is news to some people, but hey better late than never.

Lotso Christie would be the almost perfect 2016 candidate for the once-Grand Old Party to run against Saint Hillary of Benghazi. Fat, pompus, full of himself, liberal, fascist.

I'd stay home, but that would inspire the GOP to go more left I guess.

I'm pretty sure it's time to burn the GOP down to the embers and let a real opposition to the Super State develop...or not.

If it doesn't I am hoping there is an American diaspora and Freedom Loving Americans punish the US Government by voting with their feet.

If the only answer in response to embracing fucked up failed command economics and Police State theory is "we'll do 85% of the same at 99.975% of the price then I am finally ready to take the Cloward-Piven fuckers up on their bet.

399 I won't vote for him. I voted for McCain and Romney. And I never claimed I wouldn't. But I'm not voting for Christie. Or Rubio. Those days are gone. Absent a revolution within the party leading up to 2016, I'd rather it died. I've got to believe there are many others like me. I'm done with this crap.

400 Never. Never, never, never will I vote for him.  I'd vote for RUBIO before I'd vote  for CC. Further, it will officially be time for a NEW third party if  CC is the nominee of the dead GOP.

401 Oh, and the point of my saying I'd vote for Rubio before CC is because I've  grown to hate Rubio (he was never a fave of mine to begin with) but I ABSOLUTELY detest CC. He can NEVER be forgiven after he campaigned for SCOAMF in '12. LOATHE him.

CC is not even 75%.

403 It will be interesting to see if you are correct.  If you are then with 20/20 hindsight we could say that Rand and Cruz should push for a 3rd party and screw the Republican Establishment as they won't win with Christy anyway.  We might as well get on with the change.  Christy is another RINO and the part of the conservative electorate who haven't voted for the last 20 years will stay home and let the people who vote for free stuff win again.  Of course they are too stupid to learn from Detroit.  Where is John Galt?

404 I am not joking. I will not stay home on election day to voice my displeasure. I will ACTIVELY vote for whomever the other candidate it. They could run Weiner/Rev. Al 2016, and I would vote for them. Because to me, merely abstaining from voting does not accurately voice how much I am against a Christie presidency. I don't just want him to lose. I want him to be beaten. Decisively. And, I will help make it happen.

405 PS Let it Burn, if that was not evident in my previous statement.

406 I live in NJ. I'm not voting for him this November (I'll be leaving the Gubernatorial election spot blank) and I won't vote for him in 2016. He spits on us too often. He can go to hell.

407 RE: "my guess is many conservatives who say they'll never support him will come around." Yeh . . . Republicans kept saying that to conservatives with McCain and Romney, many of them my friends. So I'm sure that they'll say the same thing about Christie. Allow me to predict the results in 2016 as I did correctly with McCain/Obama and Romney/Obama -- the candidate of the party of the Democrats will win if Christie is the Republican nominee. Republicans simply cannot win without their conservative base in presidential elections. They keep on tryin' . . . but things are very very different now than they were in the 50s and 60s and 70s.

408 “President Obama has done nothing to change the policies of the Bush administration in the war on terrorism,” he told fellow Republican governors at a meeting.

Fixed it.

409 Oops. Strikethrough didn't work.

410 There ain't nothing to like about a Fat Jersey Fuck.

411 So glad the establishment has already selected the new loser.  This way, I won't even be tempted to make a contribution.

412 Ted Cruz was born in Canada to a non-citizen father.  Under what theory is he eligible to be president?

413 421 Bob,

the "who gives a fuck about laws and rules" clause...

it's gotten REALLY popular the last 5 years.

414 You're kidding, right? Do you seriously think Christie can win the southern and mid-western states?

Posted by: Bets at July 27, 2013 12:13 PM (tDvvM)

415 "Christie then suggested that Paul sit down with widows and orphans from 9/11 and explain his position to them."

Maybe Christie could explain (to those same widows and orphans) his "position" on the construction of a Mosque directly across the street from the ground zero site.

Christie is 10 gallons of s#!t in a 1 gallon bag. A true politician.

"Just great" he said w/ dripping sarcasm.

417 Christie bowed down to Obama.  What did that gain you New Jersey?
