Chris Christie is running for president

[tres3]

Who?

[IIOY]

At this point he has approximately 6 voters who support him. I confess to being surprised he ultimately did this.

Yeah. He just might've been abe to pull this one off if the election had been in 2014. But his ship has sailed.

Aren't there enough other R's in the race?
He seems a little late to the game. Probably stuck in traffic.

[josieposy]

Aren't a ton of people in his state pissed off at him for his storm response (or lack thereof) this past week?

[nsl]

I just can't imagine what would possess someone, particularly someone with serious image problems already, to look at this Republican field and say to themselves, "Yeah, I'm going to jump into that pool."

This!

I suppose it's arguable that the race doesn't have anyone quite like him, ideologically, and he can probably run a decent campaign as "moderate." But he's not an idiot. How is it that he looks at the circus and can't see that nothing good will come from this run?

NJ is pissed at him for a variety of reasons but it's a blue state so he may actually try to leverage the disdain.

His sweet spot was about 2-3 years ago. The window has closed for him; he's spent the last two years pissing off everyone. Instead of a "straight-shooter" he comes across as a complete jerk who has no filter.

Are there any Rs at this level left that HAVEN'T thrown their hat in the ring?

[penguingrrl]

On the one hand, him winning or becoming VP might help save NJ. On the other hand I feel terrible inflicting him on everyone else. Although if he can just be a figurehead VP and not have anything to actually do that might be a win-win.

Walker hasn't announced yet. It's coming, though.

Probably next week. If not, the week after. He has to get through the state budget fight and then wait for everyone to get over their 4th of July hangover. (I, however, plan to keep drinking. Right, 2curlydogs?)

[josieposy]

Kasich was supposed to announce soon too right? I know somebody mentioned him in an update last week.

Let me know when there's a logo to critique.

*waves whiskey glass around*

Seriously, though, I find his inability to get his budget pushed thru the republican-controlled legislature HIL-AR-I-OUS.

I came in here hoping for a logo.

It's like he saw Rubio dottin his I with an outline of the USA and thought, "Hmm, I could probaby go just a little more third-grade-girl than that!"

I thought of it more as a wind sock. Flying bravely in the N.J. sky.

That is an atrocious logo.

What's with the E? The second I gets lost and it's as if it says CHRIST

It looks like a bird taking a nose dive.

Not unlike the direction this campaign will go.

It actually reminds me a lot of this:

it was reported yesterday that he'll be officially announcing on 7/21.  So, he's in, but just hasn't said so yet---weird, right?

I'll keep drinking in solidarity. Fuck Walker with a rusty poker. I have sincere loathing for him.

Also, another clown? I hope the clown car explodes.
