Another addition to the parade.

TRENTON — Gov. Chris Christie is set to officially announce he's running for president in 2016.

Christie, the 55th governor of the state, will formally launch his campaign for the Republican Party's nomination at an 11 a.m. kickoff at Livingston High School, his alma mater, on Tuesday, a source close to the campaign told NJ Advance Media.

The news of his long-anticipated announcement was first reported Thursday morning by WNYC, which cited unnamed sources familiar with his plans.

Yay.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Dead in the water.

 

[OriginofHysteria]

So he and Jindal will finish tied


For last

 

[Shiv47]

How else does one line up lucrative conservative-oriented speaking gigs in this day and age?

 

[Veritigo_X]

The announcement of announcing a presidential campaign is such a funny concept to me.

when clicking I was gonna ask the Vegas odds on who will finish last, Christie or Jindal

 

[ChaosXVI]

And to think he had a pretty good shot if he had ran in 2012...now he's just another clown in the car.

Sometimes I wish Democrats had a roster of competition for Hillary just like the Republicans have... But then I look at the actual names on the roster and I don't even know anymore what this life is.

 

[A_Gorilla]

Serious question: if he wins, would he beat Taft as fattest president?

 

[kris.]

Jeb Bush
Ben Carson
Ted Cruz
Carly Fiorina
Lindsey Graham
Mike Huckabee
Bobby Jindal
George Pataki
Rand Paul
Rick Perry
Marco Rubio
Rick Santorum
Donald Trump

and now Chris Christie

Seriously, these debates are going to be so, so fun.

How about a gif of him cheering for the Dallas Cowboys?

 

[anotherVegan]

I think I need to announce my campaign for president.

 

[inm8num2]

"And another piece of the puzzle falls into place."

Taft was insanely obese. I doubt it.

 

[IronRinn]

This motherfucker has no chance.

 

[DragonSworne]

How about a gif of him cheering for the Dallas Cowboys?

We can't let this man become president.

 

[Crono27]

As someone who lives in jersey...I really dislike this guy... comes across as phony

 

[PhantomHound]

We can't let this man become president.

I mean hate him for his policies and whatever... but if you decide who you'll pick for President based on a gif... or what sports team he likes

Yikes.

As someone who lives in jersey...I really dislike this guy... comes across as phony

as someone who lives in jersey, I supported him twice and really like him

Don't worry, the GOP primary voters will do it for us.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Taft was insanely obese. I doubt it.

Taft was also eaten by wolves.

 

[Deified Data]

I remember a time when he was considered threatening enough for MSNBC to devote the entirety of their news block to the Bridgegate scandal.

 

[Munkyspace]

Oh, god. We went to the same high school. Yecch.

Edit: Fun fact from Google: he and Jason Alexander were in high school at the same time.

 

[Veritigo_X]

We can't let this man become president.

He's a "RINO" apparently. He's not going to get close to a nomination.

 

[Lunzio]

Incredible debates are upon us

 

[Lights and Waves]

I doubt he could run, maybe power walk before getting short of breath.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

I mean hate him for his policies and whatever... but if you decide who you'll pick for President based on a gif... or what sports team he likes

Yikes.

Dude is fake as fuck. He's the governor of a state where the cowboys are absolutely hated due to the proximity of the Eagles and the Giants and he goes gallivanting with Jerry Fucking Jones while they are playing one of the teams that half the state heavily supports? Dude is a grade A jackass.

 

[Clydefrog]

The pigs in crates story really turned me off of Christie who I thought had some decent bones in his body. He's a corrupt mofo.

 

[GK86]

When is the first debate? Because that should be a national holiday.

 

[acheron_xl]

The clown car must be bigger on the inside.

 

[JustenP88]

I mean hate him for his policies and whatever... but if you decide who you'll pick for President based on a gif... or what sports team he likes

Yikes.

He's a New Jersey politician masquerading as a fan of the mortal enemy. I'm a Cowboys fan but I can't support such treason. The man has no spine and I feel for the people who have been subject to his tyrannical reign.

 

[Alavard]

He's a "RINO" apparently. He's not going to get close to a nomination.

Yeah, he actually had the gall to thank President Obama for assistance after Hurricane Sandy back 2012. The GOP went apeshit on him for it.

it's a sports team. Maybe hes a cowboys fan, who gives a shit?

On the one hand, he's a jackass for being from New Jersey and rooting for the Cowboys.

On the other hand, if he's going to pick the wrong team, better the Cowboys than the fucking Eagles. Eagles fans commit treason against the State of New Jersey every time they start their fucking spelling bee.

 

[Enduin]

Even for a clown car this Republican primary is getting a bit crowded.

 

[Macho Madness]

When is the first debate? Because that should be a national holiday.

August 6.

And it's a big mess, because Fox News is holding it and they are only taking the top 10 candidates based on polling. Which is a flawed way of doing it because no one will have cast a vote yet and they're already deciding who is a real candidate in the race.

I better not be the only one that read this as "RHINO".

He's pretty big but I imagine he won't get stuck in the bath tub.

 

[JustenP88]

What a fucking dickhead.

 

[Veritigo_X]

That's actually how it's pronounced when spoken.

 

[JJDinomite]

Chris Christie is anything but eliminated.

 

[PhantomHound]

What a fucking dickhead.

Yup. Clearly.

Yeah, that must be it.

Less than two years before Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones paid for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s tickets and travel to NFL games, government documents show Christie personally pushed the Port Authority to approve a lucrative contract for a firm part-owned by Jones. Christie nonetheless accepted the gifts from Jones, despite New Jersey ethics rules barring gifts to public officials from persons or entities that those officials “deal with, contact, or regulate in the course of official business.”
