Chris Christie to GOP: Win Elections not Arguments

Well the Tea Parties might not like it because Christie isn't "conservative enough" but this rings true of the GOP wants to run anything ever again.

The Washington Post reported on comments Christie made on his campaign bus last week. Christie said he told the Republican National Committee: “I’m in this to win, because if you don’t win, you can’t govern. If you can’t govern, you can’t move the country, the state, the city — whatever you’re running for — in the direction it needs to be moved in.” Christie went on to say that he thinks too many Republicans have “become less interested in winning an election and more interested in winning an argument.”

Yup conservative purity is trumping simple electability for some reason. It almost seems like a false flag attack from the Tea Party sometimes. Let's get rid of the electable guy and put in some firebrand that makes money for Heritage Action or whatever but has no chance against the Democrat. That just means that you go from a so-called RINO to definitely anti-GOP. That just doesn't make sense.
