“Marco Rubio has work himself to do with conservatives”.

Chris Christie is finally delivering on promises to supporters to “bring a little Jersey” to the race for the Republican presidential nomination, blasting away at rivals Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and John Kasich. That’s the kind of person that we want to put on stage against Hillary Clinton?
“I think in the month of January, Gov. Christie should move to New Hampshire 100 percent of the time”, said Matt Hale, a political science professor at Seton Hall University.
Complete with the Adele song in the background, Christie’s campaign jabbed Rubio Thursday in a “throwback Thursday” tweet, mocking Rubio for praising the governor in a 2013 fundraising email. Although he’s been struggling with fundraising and polling, Christie’s rivals are attacking him in the Granite State – a sign, the candidate says, that his campaign may be catching on.
“This country can not afford a president that’s not going to reverse the direction Barack Obama’s taken our country”, Rubio told reporters in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Titled, “Look at me”, the ad bashes Christie for mismanaging New Jersey, where he’s now beginning his third year of his second term in office.
Christie said attacks from Rubio and Kasich reveal their desperation.
“One high tax, Common Core, liberal energy-loving, Obamacare Medicaid-expanding president is enough”, the voiceover says.
Republican presidential candidate, New Jersey Gov. Gov. Chris Christie speaks during a campaign stop at a college student convention, Tuesday, Jan. 5, 2016, in Manchester, N.H. “Rubio’s ability to express the message of conservatism in a hopeful, aspirational, persuasive way”, Gowdy said on Fox News at the end of last month as he explained why he backed Rubio. Prior to her work in New Jersey, Sizemore served as deputy communications director for the Iowa Republican Party during the 2012 presidential caucuses. “I mean he supported Common Core”.
There haven’t been any public polls in New Jersey asking would-be voters to choose between Christie and Clinton since February, April and May 2015.
“Now, we need a candidate who can unite our party and finish the job they want us to do in the White House”.
One ad calls Christie “Obama’s favorite Republican governor”.
Rubio said that while he supports a strong national defense, “we have Republican candidates who propose that rulers like Assad and Putin should be partners of the United States, and who have voted with Barack Obama and Harry Reid rather than with our men and women in uniform”.
“Not somebody who is a first time United States senator, who has never had a tough race in his life”, Christie continued.
Christie says that now that the holidays are over, voters are really starting to pay attention to their choices leading into the February 9 primary.

“How is Hillary Clinton going to lecture me about people living paycheck to paycheck?” he asked, reviving the case he made for his candidacy in the first Republican presidential debate last summer and has often referred to on the campaign trail. “We have isolationist candidates who are apparently more passionate about weakening our military and intelligence capabilities than about destroying our enemies”.
