Bush rips Christie’s record in New Jersey

And Kasich on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday pitted his record as governor and his standing in state polls, against Christie’s.

The anti-Rubio ad is paid for mostly by Robert Mercer, a NY hedge fund magnate who is contributing to a super political action committee that faces no campaign finance restrictions and has pledged support to Cruz.

And this week, Florida Sen.

Republican presidential candidate, New Jersey Gov. Gov. Chris Christie shakes hands with students during a campaign stop at a college student convention, Tuesday, Jan. 5, 2016, in Manchester, N.H.

Christie’s team is hitting back.

To Christie, it’s all a sign that things are breaking his way as the nominating contest sprints toward the start of actual voting following months of shadow boxing. “And to me, I try to allow that to influence me in everything that I do”, he says.

One of those lawmakers is Rep. Darrell Issa, R-California, who was stumping for Rubio on Tuesday and Wednesday in New Hampshire. “I think the reason they’re coming after me now is because I’m doing well”. In August, a super PAC that had formed with the sole goal of stopping Christie disbanded after concluding that the effort was unnecessary.

Bush took a swipe at Christie over New Jersey’s downgraded credit ratings caused by the state’s pension system while he was serving as governor. So why is he training his fire at Christie and not front-runner Trump or Texas Sen.

The small, armed group occupying a remote national wildlife preserve in OR has said repeatedly that local people should control federal lands – a sentiment that frustrates critics who say the lands are already…

“Christie and Rubio are fighting for the same slice of the electorate here”, Galdieri said.

Galdieri said Christie, Kasich, Rubio and Bush all are trying to nail down the non-Trump part of the electorate.

The IRS is planning to push you to fire up the computer rather than calling for tax help, but the agency’s in-house watchdog say that could freeze out millions of taxpayers or force them to pay for advice. “The danger is that no one gets a clear lead”. “He wants to put out a whole bunch of negative ads?”

“It just shows how inexperienced he is and how unprepared he is to be our candidate against someone like Hillary Clinton”, he said.

“[These candidates] talk tough, yet they would strip us of the ability to keep our people safe”, Rubio said.

“This guy’s been spoon-fed every victory he’s ever had in his life”, he said.

“We can’t afford to elect Hillary Clinton”. I don’t think so. He said that was especially true of Rubio, whose aggressive super PAC risks sullying his positive reputation.

“That’s just an empirically true fact”, Kristol said. As Rubio has reached a ceiling with his lack of grassroots appeal, Carson has dropped after his own burst and Jeb Bush has seemingly conceded the state, Paul seems positioned to finish in the top four at worst. “This is old-time, old-style politics from folks who don’t understand that what this country really cares about right now is protecting American interests”.

But he is using a narrator, an outside voice, which is run-of-the-mill for most candidates, but Trump hasn’t seemed to need anyone to vouch for him but himself. Finish poorly, and there likely is no plausible path forward, he added.

All of this fresh attention is a testament to Christie’s growing momentum on New Hampshire, where he is battling Rubio, Bush and Kasich to become the more traditional party alternative to billionaire businessman Donald Trump, a political outsider who has led the state in most preference polls.
