Too bad if Christie drops out. He could KO Trump at the next debate.

He’s engaged to Jerry Hall and it’s clearly turning his brain to mush while the blood rushes elsewhere…

damages himself? How did he damage himself except among the 17 Rubio fanatics? No, it’s more like a drowning man who takes someone down with him.

Christie today has been compared to an earthquake and its aftershock if he were to drop out and now Fat Man. What’ll we do without him.

It’s too bad this suicide bomber didn’t take out the whole room.

Huh? OK I get the cute suicide bomber thing but is Murdoch saying that Christie hurt himself going after Rubio? There is no evidence of that. Christie was never going to do well in NH and Rubio did not do near as well as folks were predicting just 10 days ago.

Rupert Murdoch is the justification for banning immigration we can all agree on. An Australian that came to the USA intent on sabotaging its political discourse. A man with no reason to be loyal to the USA ( and certainly is not ) driving the thinking of the entire wingnut population of America. I’ve lost friends because this asshole polluted their thinking and filled them so full of hate I could not longer stand to be in the same room with them. He’s pit American’s against each other like the Civil War never came close to. He’s a horrible man and in the end…when they write the final book on America he’ll take a lions share of the blame.

He’s had his chances. Trump isn’t a sitting duck the way Rubio is. Trump is much lighter on his feet than you realize…till you try to catch with a clean shot. Christie only knows how to do one thing well–insult and belittle people. It’s what he does at his “Townhalls”, which are really little more than staged events where palookas show up to take the next roundhouse right from the Fatman.

If I recall correctly (and I do-shit’s on tape), The Rube attacked Christie first. Maybe little Marco shouldn’t play with matches of he doesn’t wanna get burned.

would he be considered a dirty bomb? considering the load of lard and crap that would be spread around?

TPM:

News Corp chief Rupert Murdoch on Wednesday likened New Jersey Gov. Christie to a suicide bomber after the Republican presidential candidate finished sixth in the New Hampshire primary.

A suicide bomber. Right, typical Murdoch / Conservative tastelessness.

Look, I’ve got no use for the GOP or Christie, but, if anything, Christie’s attack on Rubio was more like defusing a bomb that was going to eventually hurt the GOP pretty badly if Rubio made it to the general election and crumbled during the Presidential campaign. Republicans should be thanking Christie, not comparing him to a terrorist.

Of course, it doesn’t make much difference for the GOP, since all of the Republican presidential candidates are time bombs in one way or another.

Exactly. Christie was already almost dead before he shot Rubio. Christie was sort of like that fallen super-villain who everyone turns their back on in the last 5 minutes of the movie.

Amen to that.

That comparison is in very poor taste. I’m sure Rupert’s upset he lost one of his favorite candidates, but there’s no need for that.

Not to mention, Christie actually did the country a favor by showing Rubio is just not ready for the Presidency.
