A new brash northeastern Republican party is forming. NY and NJ will soon be Republican strongholds.
ROTFLMAO. Dream on. New Yorkers just love ignorant, racist, misogynist, homophobic morons who regularly demonstrate their stupidity and crudity as in the prototypical Trumplet Carl Paladino who got drubbed 2-to-1 by Democrat Cuomo in the 2010 gubernatorial race. Paladino is now the Buffoonanator's WNY campaign boss.
Christie was low on options, probably thought he was going to be made relevant again. Of course, being sent home with his tail between his legs after Trump used him for what wanted probably was the political kiss of death. Who knows what Giuliani's story is, probably ran in the same circles for years.
Giuliani hasn't been relevant for at least a decade, either.
It's not that surprising of an endorsement given the region; both county republican parties of Long Island endorsed trump including the Nassau county executive at the rally. Ditto with the Brooklyn party

Any "conservative" who's not completely under the spell of the Religious Right simply has to understand, sooner or later, that the structure (but not necessarily the values) portrayed in "Ward Cleaver's America" is as dead as Abbott and Costello. If what's left of the "old" GOP is ever going to form a coalition which recognizes short-sight, over-centralized power, and an unrealistic, over-sensitized approach to social questions as the principal threat to the American Experiment, it has to abandon rigid doctrines (and the declining, diminishing group who dream of re-imposing them) in favor of real-world pragmatism. It is the hard-core Lefties who, of late, seem determined to shout "my way or the highway", and a sensible alternative party would exploit this obvious fact to its full advantage.
It is the constant harping for "change" in the parrot-cries of a minority of self-proclaimed "progressives" (not to mention the usual stereotyping and oversimplification liberally dispensed above) which has alienated a large contingent of blue-collar voters who clearly have "paid their dues" from a party dominated by a small gang of elitists who have yet to learn that they can't appease all their hangers-on while the nation's former economic supremacy continues to erode.
Sooner or later, the chickens have to come home to roost -- some of us began to recognize it as early as the term of the first President Bush, but when you have no choice but to "play defense" rather than promise the unattainable, you can be in for a long wait. The question is one of how soon the Trumpsters and Tea Partiers recognize there is absolutely nothing for them at the Democrats' snake-oil show.

Giuliani and Trump go way back and, considering that Christie is a lifelong NJ resident, it wouldn't be a surprise if he has had a good relationship with Giuliani and Trump as well.
I don't think they hate Cruz but their relationships and views/principles maybe a better match for Trump.
IMO, Christie would make a great AG if a Republican wins the Presidency.
Attaching to Cruz would be like attaching to a piranha! No one, unless they are equally off the charts religious cult wants anything to do with that!

That was proven false. Carson was not offered a job. Just desperate people spreading untruths.

Yes, I think those two are in "bed" together. Or one of them is hoping to be!

I think that is what he MUST have meant. What else could he possibly mean? Those obsessed by the "end of times" and believing that Cruz is "anointed" by God to be POTUS and will know which groups to destroy to ready the world for the Second Coming of Christ.

First woman POTUS or first Jewish POTUS. Works for me.
Well, seems strange that most Dems here keep shooting down Trump if he would guarantee a Democrat in the WH. Also, it has become very evident that the Hillary supporters spend their time attacking Trump rather than playing up the positives of their sorry candidate who should be "block queen" and not POTUS.
As you know, your party is cheating to make sure Hillary wins. That is nothing to be proud of. Trump would eat Hillary for an appetizer. Hillary has been such a plague on our country and giving her more power, she must have some great blackmail items in her bag of tricks.

If that is what New Yorkers love, Cruz will win the nomination. I just don't see that happening. At least Trump is for the people, OUR people which Hillary has never shown a hint of. You do realize the POTUS is supposed to represent AMERICANS, right?

I think both Giuliani and Christie realize their only hope at political advancement would be Presidential appointments. Neither will win a Senate seat in their state nor do I think either want or are suited for the House/Senate. Christie actually played this game before by using his wife's connections to be a big W campaign supported/bundler and riding that to a legal appointment.
On another level- after Cruz blew of steam about 'New York values' going into his camp was never going to play well at home.
Is it because their opinions on the issues are the same as his, believe he can win, because they detest Ted Cruz, all of the above, or some other reason(s)?
Because they are disgusted by Cruz and his disdain for NE people.
