So FOX "The Five" had Chris Christie on tonight, and first thing he did was basically blame Rand Paul for the recent deaths in Tennessee; saying Rand has made this country weaker by trashing the NSA.

It is obvious Christie with a 30% approval rating in his own State of New Jersey, has a snowballs chance in hell, and a Bush operative assigned to take Rand out. Perry, another Bush operative is assigned to take Trump out. All this while Bush keeps clean hands and says nothing negative about anyone.

So what strategy do we employ here? This is an old article, but basically what has been on FOX all day... just a different date, but same attack. Although I love Rand calling Christie "The King of Bacon".

Chris Christie says Rand Paul has made US ‘weaker’

The Chris Christie and Rand Paul feud just got more fired up.

Christie, the newest GOP presidential candidate, lashed out against the Kentucky Senator Sunday for fundraising during his nearly 11-hour Senate speech against US national surveillance programs.

“He’s wrong and what he’s done has made American weaker and more vulnerable,” Christie said on Fox News Sunday. “And he’s done it and then cut his speeches and put them on the Internet to raise money off of them. He’s politicizing America’s national security.”

The New Jersey governor offered a full-throated defense of the Patriot Act and the surveillance tools it affords law enforcement, whereas Paul, a civil libertarian, has been an outspoken advocate for more restrictions on surveillance of Americans’ data.

The GOP presidential rivals have publicly sparred over National Security Agency tactics and spending for years. Christie once called Paul’s foreign policy “dangerous” and Paul shot back at Christie’s spending policies, calling him the “king of bacon.”

Full of gusto as a newly minted presidential candidate, Christie also took same jabs at other opponents.

Christie criticized Donald Trump for wanting to build a “great wall’ along the Southern border.

“I know the human spirit. I haven’t found a wall that can be built that a determined human being can’t get over, under or around,” Christie said.

He’s advocating for more fencing in certain areas, more drone surveillance, more border patrol agents and requiring employers to use the E-Verify citizen check system.

Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton has called for immigration reform that allows for a pathway of citizenship (and voting privileges). Christie said Clinton has the wrong approach.

“These folks are coming across the border not to vote, like Hillary Clinton would lead you to believe,” he said. “They’re coming to work.”
 
I don't think people believe a single word out of Christie's mouth anymore. Rand shouldn't fight down - just ignore him.
 
Rand said on CBSN interview today - he is more interested in a whole platform he has been developing instead of Trump/other candidates

Christie Cremepuff may be on the bubble for the debate . . . Rand campaign can ignore him - grassroots can laugh at him imo
