Support NeoGAF

He is a good guy. I was simply responding to some of the posts on Kos and Reddit who were pearl clutching because he managed a hedge fund (which was really just his own money, but you know...). Half were super happy he endorsed, the other half were upset because he is fairly well off. I just found the disconnect interesting.

Gotcha.

 

[Gruco]

Christie rescinding his endorsement would make him the most legendary politician of all time (do not take that claim literally).

First, he spends the 2012 keynote talking completely about himself.

Then, he publicly embraces Obama in the most dramatic, media friendly fashon, weeks before the election.

Then, he nukes the establishment frontrunner's chances in 2012. Twice.

then he's all like "NVM dudes, Trump sucks"

The guy is amazing. This is a crazy amount of chaos for the Governor of New Jersey to cause within his own party.

 

[PBY]

and you have to realize that they all signed the pledge.

The pledge backfiring is the most delicious cherry on top of this shitshow ice cream sunday of a primary

 

[User 463088]

Really?

I don't know why I'm surprised, because you know it's reddit, but I am.

Ya. There were a few people talking about it. I mean, we know we'll all be thrown under the bus eventually, but you know. I was legit surprised. Like no one called them out on it. They're just talking about how they're sending 200 and 300 messages to random people on Facebook in Mass to encourage them to vote for Bernie tomorrow. I guess it's called "Facebanking." It's interesting to me. Wonder how that helps/hurts.

 

[Cat]

I seriously doubt Christie is rescinding his endorsement.

 

[Makai]

The press conference is about the court decision.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Rescinds endorsement and then endorses Kasich.

Take it to the bank.

 

[Holmes]

Christie press conference will be about some New Jersey bullshit no one cares about.

 

[Crocodile]

I mean, I could have sworn that earlier in the whole process KKK members were stumping for Trump and I feel he danced around the issue then. Am I misremembering things? Are Republicans only freaking out so hard now instead of then (or all the equally terrible shit he's said) because he's no longer a joke?

Well...if by no one you mean my mom, then you're right.

If Chris could get Trump to change his name back to Drumpf he'd be impressive.

 

[Gruco]

Most likely scenario is that Christie endorses a different candidate every date for the next two weeks, then decides to re-enter the race.

 

[Makai]

Rescinds endorsement and then endorses Kasich.

Take it to the bank.

Willing to bet?

Lol New Jersey? You think he has any idea what's going on in New Jersey?!?

 

[Sirpopopop]

Relax guys.

Stop diablosing about Trump.

He's got this.

 

[hawk2025]

As far as economic issues go, he's quite far to the left. The only thing I can think of that is odd is how he went after ACORN with a provision in a Student Aid Act in 2009 that would prohibit funding. Especially given how those videos doctored to attack ACORN were nothing but lies. That's the only really damning thing in his whole record that I'm aware of. On social and healthcare fronts the guy is definitely to the left having always supported choice, lgbt rights, legislation on wage discrimination, expanding the strength of hate crime laws, etc. is anti-war and wasteful military spending, believes in renewal energy etc. etc.

He's a generally good dude when it comes to the issues.

Still "Wall Street", "Corporate", and whatever other name is usually levied at someone with his history.

If you are using an exceedingly broad brush, you end up painting people you shouldn't. We've seen this happen multiple times during this campaign.

Yes. They bought into the idea that people wouldn't actually vote for him.

 

[User 463088]

50% of Trump supporters want to raise the minimum wage....interesting.

MSNBC found an AA Trump supporter at a rally and asked him about the KKK thing.The guy said he was an Obama supporter but now supports Trump because he's able to continue the "change." Hahahahaahahaha.

This election, brahs and brahettes. This election.

I hate to disappoint them but

This is unsurprising, or if it's surprising it's that you'd expect it to be higher. About half of Republicans support raising the minimum wage.

 

[Box of Kittens]

50% of Trump supporters want to raise the minimum wage....interesting.

We're really seeing the disconnect between what the Republican base actually wants and what the party elites think they want.

Ben Jacobs 4m4 minutes ago
New Texas primary poll from ARG

Cruz: 33%
Trump: 32%
Rubio: 17%

hmm

 

[BoboBrazil]

hmm

Early voting is going to help Cruz. Apparently early voting accounts for 55% here.

 

[hawk2025]

The evidence and support for raising the minimum wage at this point is almost overwhelming.

The only question is by how much and how to structure it.

TRUMP TAPE

http://www.buzzfeed.com/bensmith/trump-tape?utm_term=.jvlaOJexr9#.dljMWlXAoz

Sources familiar with the recording and transcript — which have reached near-mythical status at the Times — tell me that the second sentence is a bit more than speculation. It reflects, instead, something Trump said about the flexibility of his hard-line anti-immigration stance.

 

[User 463088]

Rubio lost his voice at his rally, so Nikki had to take over for him.

Trump's not going to have a field day with that.

 

[Ekai]

If you're all not reading conservative media right now, you're sorely missing out.

http://theresurgent.com/this-has-festered-long-enough/?mc_cid=45beacb75f&mc_eid=5f61459029

In regards to the townhall link: I guess I'm among the select few "weirdos, losers and gender-fluid mutations" that the right-wing feels is stealing the regular Americans country that "they spent their lives building, feeding, defending, and loving ". How weirdly non-specific until the writer got to slurring trans-individuals, huh. They also equate those attitudes to Drumpf's followers while acting like those who were a part of Occupy or support Bernie are the freaks....even though in comparison between the two their passionate description of the Drumpf followers better fits Bernie's. The Drumpf followers could give two shits about the country, rights or opportunity of others besides themselves.

That also said the fallout the writer expresses on the second page amuses me. A hateful asshole (our writer here in question) is terrified of a hateful asshole (Drumpf) being President. While lacking all awareness on the matters. It's sensible-chuckle inducing.

Still "Wall Street", "Corporate", and whatever other name is usually levied at someone with his history.

If you are using an exceedingly broad brush, you end up painting people you shouldn't. We've seen this happen multiple times during this campaign.

Oh, please. Don't even get me started on how extremely general you are being here.

 

[Plinko]

hmm

Terrible, terrible news for Rubio. Cruz stays in the race and splits delegates with Trump, and I don't believe Rubio gets any with 17%.

TRUMP TAPE

I wasn’t able to obtain the recording, or the transcript, and don’t know exactly what Trump said. Neither Baquet, Collins, nor various editorial board members I reached would comment on an off-the-record conversation, which the Times essentially said they cannot release without approval from Trump, given the nature of the the off-the-record agreement.

Nothing to see here. He won't release it.

 

[Y2Kev]

Christie rescinding effectively ends his life and career. Probably even public sector employment. He will be a pariah. Won't happen IMO.

 

[hawk2025]

Oh, please. Don't even get me started on how extremely general you are being here.

I am being very general, to a fault. That's precisely the point.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Guys, there's no way Christie is rescinding his endorsement after just 3 days.

 

[Ekai]

I am being very general, to a fault. That's precisely the point.

So you're being ironic and mocking people who accuse Bernie supporters of that or?

 

[RustyNails]

Anyone who thinks Christie going to rescind dont knoe Christie. He's going to quadruple that shit down and defend Trump from the nazis.

 

[Frank the Great]

Hopefully Christie resigns so he can focus 100% on campaigning for Drumpf.

He doesn't want to be here anyway.

/dream

 

[sphagnum]

This is it

Legit started twitching from anger when I read this.

 

[Tubie]

Christie isn't rescinding endorsement, right? :U

Oh god no, all Trump needs is to hold out 1 more day

 

[NeoXChaos]

Hillary's going to be in MN tomorrow

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

 

[User 463088]

Hillary's going to be in MN tomorrow

Interesting....although, since it's a caucus it makes sense. You can do an event or two before the caucus starts. Doing that in a primary state interrupts your voters getting to the polls.

 

[Plinko]

Aw, Rubio's and Cruz's lines are hugging!

 

[Y2Kev]

Look at all those diablosing poll lines.

 

[Nazgul_Hunter]

LMAO. I mean I don't know anything about their relationship to know if this is a big deal or not but wow does that seem rude to me.

I read it more like, "I know you're tired, you did good, go home"

 

[Brinbe]

Hillary's going to be in MN tomorrow

Well, she's most likely gonna blow him out in the South, so this makes sense. This is the advantage of being competitive nationally, you can take him out where he needs to win.

 

[Box of Kittens]

Terrible, terrible news for Rubio. Cruz stays in the race and splits delegates with Trump, and I don't believe Rubio gets any with 17%.

The threshold for the statewide delegates is 20% so he'd be shut out there. He would still be eligible to receive district level delegates though. But yeah, Rubio's worst case scenario is failing to hit 20% and Cruz with a close margin over Trump.

 

[RustyNails]

Looks like the Rafael Rocket ran out of fuel. He needs to bag Texas and just shove Rubio into a corner.

 

[Macho Madness]

Romney voters becoming Trump voters makes a lot of sense when you think about it. You'd think they'd jump to Kasich or Bush but that's not happening because they were told Romney was the safe choice that was surely to beat Obama and it failed. They're tired of being told the only way to win is to go with the "safe" choice.

 

[Rubenov]

Those nasty guy and liar attacks worked. Cruz' campaign didn't do him any favors either

 

[User 463088]

Oh god, my mom is going off on Christie right now. And she's managed to tie him to Trump, Rubio and Fiorina (I have no idea why or how we got to her.) And Baroni and Kelly should go to jail for life, apparently. Oh, I am living.

 

[Macho Madness]

Rubio's fail to rise really shows how terrible of a politician he is and just how bad the base views the establishment. Coming off 2013's "how the fuck do we win a presidential election" RNC committee, he's the exact candidate you might pick. But the base of the Republican Party is sick of it and want a winner, and they do not want illegal immigrants to be given any sort of legality.
