Christie 2016 momentum surging

[CID1990]

Unfortunately we did not get Jeb, we got his infinitely dumber brother Dubya. Even Barbara told us that way back when...

I think Jeb would have a better shot against Hillary than Christie, his Jerseyness does not sell well country wide.

Biggest hurdle for Jeb is immigration, but if the party would trust him on that issue, they could have a good and long term fix for their latino problem.

Jeb's wife is Mexican, his son is Mexican-American and that goes a long way.

After the televised spectacle of Christie Sumo-hugging Jerry Jones yesterday in the Cowgirl owner's box, he can kiss off the PA GOP primary -- if he makes it that far.

Rare point on which we agree, Goldstein. Guy looked like fucking Rerun.

Oh, happy New Year and a big fuck you, Cap'n.

I'm convinced that he decided a long time ago not to run. Jeb entering the race would appear to make that a cerntainty now. It seems like he'll be happy being a behind the scenes kingmaker of sorts. He's had a big hand in working the GOP to win as many governor mansions as they have and he'll be sure to leverage that into a say into who the party ultimately gets behind. So at that point, he can afford to be an ass on TV in the owner's box because he won't face another election.

After Christie's brother uttered the word "sorry assed Eagles" Chris Christie is dead to me. Will never get my vote or support for anything.

Seriously though, if he has been a lifelong Cowboys fan, I'd be a lot more upset with him if he switched to the Giants/Jets/Eagles (since that is who southern NJ roots for).

Good for him with sticking with the team he has always liked and rooting them on hard. I hate when people bandwagon or the political equivalent of rooting only for the home team for votes purposes

This. And he also shows a lot of love for Springsteen despite being the polar opposite, politically.

I just got one question:
How do you have lap band surgery and actually get fatter..?

No, I nearly bumped into his ass at Delaware stadium after he and his security detail had already passed in front of me. The dude was 400 easy a few years ago. He's about half the train length he used to be in the picture you referenced. True story.

Okee Dokee...
So he's a shadow of his former self then I see

400 / 299

400 / 299

Putting down down 400 & 299 is plain silly. When you're that high up the scale may as well round to the nearest 5 pounds and put 400 to 300. When you're that big you shit a couple pounds at a time.

Reminds me of the St Francis OG in 2013 who was listed at 401.

[93henfan]

Yeah, that wasn't reported anywhere there BDK. Just throwing out some numbers and whatnot. I wouldn't get too hung up on the numbers.

[houndawg]

That's because you get far less BS when Christie talks. 99% plus of politicians never answer questions & when they do it's with all sorts of spin. Christie tells you the answer whether you want to hear it or not more than anyone I've seen in politics.

A trait which won't do him any favors with the liberal media.

You have to keep an eye on that corporate-owned liberal media....

It's not sticking with his team that pisses me off. It's sticking his fat tongue down Jerry Jones's throat.

I missed that part fortunately...

What connection does Christie have to the Dallas area or even the state of TX? He's not from there. Didn't go to school there. Did he ever live/work there?

I don't know how old you are, but in the days of the NFL local blackout rules (which I recall quite well), teams were blacked out in the local TV market even if the game sold-out. I grew up in the New York TV market (like Christie did) and we never saw the Giants or Jets. Our local NFC game was almost always the Dallas Cowboys. They were very popular back then and scored the best in the national ratings.

A little confession. I grew up seeing so many Cowboys games that I was actually a Cowboys fan when I was young. It wasn't until 1973, when I was 11, that I started seeing Giants' games regularly, and they became my team. But I have a lot of friends who are still Dallas Cowboys fans owing to the pre-1973 blackout rules. My brother, who is two years older than me, still roots for the Cowboys.

I remember that my dad used to drive to a friend's house in southern NJ, the Eagles' home market, so he could watch the Giants play on Sunday. In 1973, the rules changed, and a local game could be shown in the local market, so long as the game was a sell-out 72 hours prior to the game.

The reason the Cowboys are so popular still has to do with the pre-1973 rules, because they were the team of choice in many markets under the pre-1973 blackout rules.

[Ivytalk]

JoltinJoe, that's probably a good explanation for Donut Boy's addiction to the Cowgirls. But he'd still finish around 12th in a hypothetical Texas GOP primary.

I was a Rams fan as a kid for similar reasons. I hated America's team.

Makes you wonder what a ticket of Jeb Bush/Susana Martinez would look like. That would be an interesting race btween them and Hillary. Pretty sure we've never had a ticket of two people who were both fluent in Spanish as the GOP ticket would be. Tough for Jeb, because he would certainly have a lot of anti-Bush stuff to get past - he was always the better candidate than W was but it just didn't happen for him.

Substitute Marco Rubio for Jeb.

Maybe with the right VP. So, who do you think would be a good VP for him?

Well, actually I think a Romney/Rubio ticket would win. Not saying that's the right choice, or even that I'd vote for that ticket, but I think that would win.
