Bring on Jeb Bush. There is no freaking way that republicans EVER run someone named Bush even if he has no relation to any of the previous Bushes. If they do they'll be lucky to get 35% of the vote in the general.

With voters, Bush's name brings a disadvantage (not as big as you say, but something anyway). But with the people who really matter, Bush has huge advantages over everyone else. The money he would be able to raise would dwarf any other Republican's, and that would translate into votes.

Christie sure humbles-up, considering he was a complete asshole to reporters in last month when they questioned the same 4 1/2 days of GW lanes shutdown study as retaliating against opponents.

so much damage control

Assuming Christie is now eliminated.. who becomes the GOP establishment front runner?

Jeb Bush?
Paul Ryan?
Marco Rubio?

This incident is reminiscent of Obama putting barricades around the national monuments. When do we get an apology from Obama for his petty, vindictive revenge and abuse of power?

Probably Bush.

insiders say media to push Scott Walker

Or as that one fellow quipped in another thread, Paul Walker (if he weren't dead).

But how cool would it be to have Paul Walker as prez!? I mean, think about the presidential motorcade being all pimped-out ricers, a 350 mile long runway for Airforce 1, a hot 21 yo first lady!

I don't know if Jeb will run. But if he does, then it seems almost certain to me that he will be the anointed of the establishment. He will absolutely overwhelm anyone else with big funding from banks and everyone else, as well as endorsements.

Walker has some scandals of his own and has about as much charisma as a damp rag.

There would be a severe grassroots push back against him, but MSNBC does have a crush on giving him airtime.

I have a hard time believing that another Bush could get the nod, but then again the GOP did run the guy who basically created the blueprint for Obamacare against the guy who implemented Obamacare in an election that could have been all about Obamacare. It would be a bad joke if it were not really happening.

Christie is Sad. He was betrayed. He is just doing his job. He is not angry he is sad.

 

[twomp]

Do you guys really believe Christie's GOP nomination is in danger? Did you really believe Mitt Romney was a conservative as well? Is it because the television told you so? This is the GOP where the sheeps fall in line. The sheeps will nominate Christie if the television tells them to. This has done nothing to his hopes for a GOP nomination. BAAAAAA!! goes the GOP.

So...I'll be the first to ask this...?

How is Christie's behavior any different from a certain occupant of the White House we all know and love?

Take your pick; start with the IRS/Tea Party thing, the Solyndra thing, Fast and Furious...

I'm not saying what's good for the goose is good for the gander. I'm simply pointing out that the Establishment Right is no different from the Establishment Left.

EDIT: No difference but the reaction lol

Rumor is there are emails directly from Christie also. He will resign in a press conference today.

Never !!!! He is narcissist, and in his narcissistic mind everything he does is 150% correct.

 

[GunnyFreedom]

another one bites the dust

Eat me Christie

Be careful what you ask for...

Obozo along with his sidekick Tonto (Holder), screw everyone from the time they take their first cup of coffee in the morning. We have plenty of threads regarding their corruption and criminal acts. This thread just happens to be directed toward Christie and his corrupt/criminal acts.
