The status of the Republican Party, where are they today, where do they stand, what are their prospects?  We have the New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, he condemned the NRA ad.  Did you see that?  Let me find the sound bite.  I told the broadcast engineer we\u2019re gonna start with Lance Armstrong, and I just decided we\u2019re not.  Now, I gotta find Chris Christie.  There it is.  Number one. <\/p>\n<p>Koko said don\u2019t bother telling you that the website video might blow up today.  So, okay, good. <\/p>\n<p>So here is Chris Christie, he was in Trenton, New Jersey. He is the governor of New Jersey, and he called the NRA ad reprehensible.  Now, it\u2019s obvious to me what\u2019s happening here.  Governor Christie is positioning himself for 2016.  I think that he hopes to pose a real challenge to Hillary in the Democrat primary.  Here\u2019s what he said.  Got a Q&amp;A yesterday at a press briefing to announce the creation of the NJ Safe Task Force to study how to reduce gun violence, and during the Q&amp;A he said this.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/videos.mediaite.com\/embed\/player\/?content=PFXY4139PQWYN3PL&amp;content_type=content_item&amp;layout=&amp;playlist_cid=&amp;media_type=video&amp;widget_type_cid=svp&amp;read_more=1\" width=\"585\" height=\"421\" frameborder=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowtransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>CHRISTIE:  To talk about the president\u2019s children or any public officer\u2019s children who have not by their own choice but by requirement to have protection, and to use that somehow to try to make a political point I think is reprehensible.  I think it\u2019s awful to bring public figures\u2019 children into the political debate.  They don\u2019t deserve to be there, and I think for any of us who are public figures, you see that kind of ad, and you cringe.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_71743\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ChristieVSHillary.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH: So there\u2019s Governor Christie positioning himself as, I think, a real challenger to Hillary in the Democrat primary in 2016. (interruption) Well, no. I don\u2019t think Governor Christie &#8220;cringed&#8221; at the kids on stage with Obama because, you see, those kids are not being exploited. Again, this goes back to the media and the way people look at things. A Democrat president would never exploit kids. Only the NRA would exploit kids in reacting to kids being exploited. It\u2019s the narrative. There\u2019s no Democrat that would ever do anything bad!<\/line><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no Democrat that ever has any mean-spiritedness or wants to hurt anybody, whereas the Republicans, that\u2019s all they do. I\u2019m just saying, if he keeps going with the way he\u2019s going, he\u2019s gonna be challenging Hillary the a Democrat primary in 2016. (interruption) I know, I\u2019ll hear about that. Again, another foray into subtle humor, but even among my staff I had to repeat it four times before they understood what I was saying. (interruption) Low-information staff is exactly right on this. I mean, you\u2019ve been watching me here for ten minutes.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the fourth time I used the line and it took me four times before you thought I was screwing up. You thought I misspoke. &#8220;Wait a minute, you said the &#8216;Democrat\u2019 primary?&#8221; You\u2019re scratching your heads.
