Chris Christie won’t back down on bear hunting
It then cuts to “what Marco Rubio’s leadership would look like”, followed by a clip borrowed from a Rubio campaign video in which he says, huddled over a laptop, “I know I have a debate, but I’ve got to get this fantasy football thing right”.
Chris Christie hit back at GOP presidential rival Florida Sen.
Meanwhile, allies of Ohio Gov. John Kasich filled mailboxes in New Hampshire with a biting pamphlet that reads, “Chris Christie: Tough talk”.
Back in 1995, Chris Christie loved New Jersey’s assault weapons ban so much he called anyone who’d attempt to repeal it “crazy” and “dangerous.”
The New Jersey governor also slighted Rubio’s experience in politics.
Groups allied with Rubio have panned Christie’s record in ads. Christie, recycling an attack he made against Rubio here last month for failing to make it to Washington D.C. for a Senate vote, signled out his presidential rival Monday during a campaign event in Manchester. Ted Cruz from cornering Iowa’s substantial base of religious conservatives, and pick up folks who’d been Ben Carson supporters but are looking around for a more viable candidate as the neurosurgeon continues to fade. Most of the battling is taking place in New Hampshire, site of the nation’s first primary on February 9. Marco Rubio was the first to unload, rolling out two ads tying Christie to President Barack Obama over and over and over again.
‘If we are going to turn our frustration and anger with the D.C. insiders, the politicians of yesterday and the carnival barkers of today into something that actually changes American lives, we must elect someone who has been tested, ‘ Christie told the crowd. Youre starting to feel the momentum for that.But Mike Dennehy, a New Hampshire Republican consultant who is not affiliated with any candidate warned about the potential downsides. Clearly, Rubio is using the Planned Parenthood line as a way to make voters think twice as to whether or not Christie is a true-blue social conservative.
A super PAC supporting Florida Sen.
The New Jersey governor’s jabs come after a super PAC aiding Rubio launched ads in New Hampshire targeting Christie’s policy record and his involvement in the “Bridgegate” lane closure scandal.
Its wordy closing argument: “One high-tax, Common Core, liberal-energy-loving, Obamacare-Medicaid-expanding president is enough”.
And that’s not to mention the millions of dollars in television ads from the candidates and their friends at the super PAC that are unavoidable on New Hampshire airwaves.
Last month, Cruz said, “We will utterly destroy ISIS. He said ‘Just because we’re running for the same office, someone has convinced you that being critical of me helps you.’ And now all of a sudden he’s being very critical of me, so I guess the same person who was talking to Jeb has been talking to Marco”, Christie said. Marco Rubio piled on, telling reporters that Christie is too close to President Obama on Common Core and gun control. But he’s now benefiting from a surge in national media coverage that’s accompanied his rise in New Hampshire, raising the prospect that he might be able to finish ahead of Bush in Iowa.
