re: #80 HappyWarrior

How about he stop being afraid of the nutcases in your party’s base and actually show what a real leader does? Really stop being afraid and actually lead, you know the thing that guys like Christie repeatedly accuse President Obama of not doing. I swear dude. Your party’s politicians have to stop acting like scared rabbits when dealing with the base who flips out at everything Obama says.

I agree with you, but I’d also point out that Chris Christie isn’t going to be the one to stand up to the party base successfully. He’s held in too much suspicion due to his working with Obama after Hurricane Sandy and because he’s from deeply-blue New Jersey. If Christie takes a stand the base will scream “RINO!” and just like that, his presidential hopes for 2016 will vanish.
