CNN: Chris Christie Announces 2016 Presidential Bid

(CNN) Gov. Chris Christie is about to find out whether the tough-talking style that's so popular at home in New Jersey will resonate on the presidential campaign trail.

Christie announced Tuesday he is running for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016. Speaking at his alma mater, Livingston High School, in Livingston, New Jersey, Christie said "he is now ready to fight for the people of the United States of America."

"We must tell each other the truth about the problems we have and the difficulty of the solutions," Christie added.

Christie is the 14th major contender seeking the GOP nomination.

Christie looked to the past while making his debut as presidential candidate, holding his announcement event at the same high school in Livingston where he grew up and served as class president.

"Why here? Because everything started here for me," Christie said, embracing his roots as he took the stage in the school's gymnasium. Just outside the gym, a team photo hangs of Christie and the Livingston "Lancers" baseball team in 1980.

"When I decided to make this announcement, there was no other choice. I had to come home. And Livingston is home for me."

He made clear over the weekend that his up-front style -- he once famously told a heckler to "sit down and shut up" -- will be a central part of the campaign.

"I get accused a lot of times of being too blunt or too direct and saying what's on my mind just a little bit too loudly," Christie said in a video released over the weekend as part of his campaign, which uses the motto "Tell It Like It Is."

He joined the race with strong national name recognition and a record in public office that spans more than a decade, having served as New Jersey's governor since 2010 and as a U.S. Attorney for the state from 2002-2010. But despite the notoriety, Christie has struggled to gain traction with voters in the run-up to his campaign.

A national CNN/ORC poll conducted in late May found that just 4% of Republican voters planned to support Christie, a drop from 13% late last year. In New Hampshire, a state where Christie is devoting significant attention, he's tied at just 5% with retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush leads in the state with 15%.

The clown car has expanded into a clown caravan. The good news is the caravan is stalled on the George Washington Bridge. He is also promising traffic jams for those who oppose him.

The good news is that about half of them will be out of money before its time to register for the early primaries.

*scratches head in thought* ...and to think, Chris Christie's won twice in one of the bluest states in the country...you don't do that, my friend, by being a "RINO"; just ask Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, for instance. *adds deadpan* Maybe we should go back and start following Ronald Reagan's famous dictum, "Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican."

We can argue up and down the whole day over the Republican candidates, Liberty...but, once we decide on a specific candidate, we need to back that candidate, whoever it may be, period...

He is a progressive. He is about as republican as I am liberal commie. I'm done with backing these kinds of people saying they are better then the alternative. Either pick a person who is based on the Constitution or let us burn in the flames we deserve. This nation is done. We are America in name only. Rule of law means nothing. Words mean nothing. Judges are now another political branch. At this point I don't even think Ted Cruz could save this nation. The only thing that will save this nation is a Constitutional convention of the states that can reverse the insane, illegal, unconstitutional rulings of last week and the many before that. Those ruling has made a whole new push for it and we are only a few states away from it happening. Other then that get prepped for the decline and enjoy what you can of whats left of this nation. Im just looking for another small country maybe somewhere in South America where I will be left the fuck alone when I retire in the future. And the wife can make easier flights to her home country. Maybe Panama where a lot of Americans are going. I just might give up my citizenship when I retire if it gets as bad as I think it is going to get here starting with the ramped up persecution of religion thanks to our political activists called the supreme court. Who knows maybe people will get locked and loaded and we will have that second civil war so many are saying is needed.

 

[WHO IS SERAFIN]

Here is the Chris Christie.

1. Pro illegals being allowed to stay.

2. Anti 2nd amendment supporter. From his own fat lips.


HANNITY: Are there any issues where you are, quote, moderate to left as a Republican?

CHRISTIE: Listen, I favor some of the gun-control measures we have in New Jersey.

HANNITY: Bad idea.

CHRISTIE: Listen, we have a densely-populated state, and there's a big hand gun problem in New Jersey. Now, I don't support all the things that the governor supports by a long stretch. But I think on guns — certain gun control issues, looking at it from a law-enforcement perspective, seeing how many police officers were killed, we have an illegal gun problem in New Jersey.

HANNITY: Should every — should every citizen in the state be allowed to get a licensed weapon if they want one?

CHRISTIE: In New Jersey, that's not going to happen, Sean.

HANNITY: Why?

CHRISTIE: Listen, the Democratic legislature we have, there's no way those type of things — listen, at the end of the day, what I support are common sense laws that will allow people to protect themselves, but I also am very concerned about the safety of our police officers on the streets, very concerned. And I want to make sure that we don't have an abundance of guns out there.


3. Believes in the fantasy of global warming.


And this is just for starters on his left wing ideas.
