ne: maybe that is his goal, to go back to leary conservatives like you, tea partiers like you, y whatn by a landslide in bluest of blew ue states, i am your man, ga laden says what?t? i can write that commercial, wouldn't you having you have gotterather have gottenrid of on chris christie. we do not have a sense of humor about what happened to our nation, not like the days of reagan, aittle democrat love, this is the most left-leans president in the history of united stas. neil: true, but no g or girl will appeal to all your check off issues. but if if governor comes to you, he will try to wow you, and say, im mostly the isss that you like, and hold dear. for policing budgets and spending going after big pensions, and abuse, and unions and et cetera. i am the guy to love. >> i felt my blood pressure go up when you said that, it makes me livid, if that is what we have from this republican establishment, every presidenal elect, year aft year, and republicans and conservatives are sick of ii we're not going toake it establishment -- >> wha if the kind of person you want cannot get allege
