Christie is "the king of bacon"

 

[jct74]

Rand loves saying gimme, gimme, gimme

 

[brushfire]

Alex, I'll take bacon for 500...

 

[jct74]

more after break, Rand hitting Christie and Peter King hard so far, says they want to blow everything up.

Pretty good interview. I'm surprised Rand is able to keep up the intensity doing so many interviews.

I prefer Ron's method of taking the high road and not getting personal.

You attack their bad ideas, not the person spouting them.

-1 for Rand.

I agree, attack ads are very effective in a political run and so I reckon this is too.

I just hope that Rand actually knows what he's doing.

He's a fighter. Republicans gravitate to articulate fighters, especially with this incredible vacuum of leadership.

Yeah, I'm just worried it could hurt him in a general election. It seems like cause for concern that Rand is currently polling below all of the other potential Republican candidates in a one on one matchup with Hillary in 2016 in PPP's poll. I hope I'm just being too pessimistic.

It's the small Bush wing that is largely keeping his numbers down. If they backed him he would be right there with her.

 

[AuH20]

I was cackling like mad when Rand talked about reckless members of the GOP "blowing stuff up." I imagined Peter King with a pack of M80s mischievously blowing up random mailboxes.
