OMG, you are basing your assumption that the GOP wants to dump Christie on something Cruz said that is being reported by a total liberal that has had connections with the Huffington Post? Aren't your stretching for something to back up your claim?

My thoughts exactly. I am not anti Christie as I have said in the past, I am on the fence, but I do think it it might be necessarily to nominate a candidate that has appeal to the young voters, minorities but it a totally different from a Christie.

Have you listened to Hannity, Beck, or Limbaugh lately? They got NOTHING good to say about Christie.

They want the latest tea party darling to represent them.

Here we go again. The one thing Democrats are good at: personally attacking and smearing those who disagree with them.

Yes, Democrats are mean. Unlike Republicans, who are harmless put-upons that never said anything bad about anyone, ever. I remember when Hillary Clinton ran for President in 2008 and my right wing friends forwarded me those "Clinton Death Lists." Clearly Republicans had nothing to do with creating and circulating those death lists. [/SARCASM]

I am as liberal as it gets.

I will definitely consider voting for Christie.

I am not just blowing smoke. I split my ticket and voted for Obama and Mitch Daniels in 2008.

Seriously.

Nominate a reasonable pragmatist and not a crazy ideologue, and you will get my vote.

attacking is a strong word. How about we rephrase that to mean, raising money against.

Chris Christie has already created his national narrative and some people are eating it up. Democrats arent going to support him in a national election once his record is more publicized.

The liberals are scared to death of him. They know that if he makes to the national election he will be very hard to beat. Christie will win unless the Democrats run Hillary and somehow neutralize her role in the Benghazi disaster.

i created a thread months ago saying i was center left and would vote for christie over hillary.

i like how he has shoved aside the tea party and was impressed with him appointing a muslim judge, even though he got hell from the right about that.

He's way too conservative on the social issues and way overrated ...IMO. He's also a tad too belligerent when faced with an opposing view from others. That will not play well with many people on the national stage when he is confronted with some of his baggage.
