Marco Rubio is a neo-statist.
Paul Ryan is easily shoved around.
And now Chris Christie is a Gerald Ford Republican.
Conservative talk show host Mark Levin is running out of Republicans he could support in 2016 — but given his comments to FOX’s Neil Cavuto, it seems highly unlikely he’ll be able to get behind a Christie presidential bid.
Real Clear Politics has the video and the transcript:
CAVUTO: Why don’t you like him?
LEVIN: It’s not a matter of like, he is a Gerald Ford Republican. Despite all the huffing and puffing, your home state of New Jersey is still a financial disaster. Is he better than the Democrats that preceded him? Yes. What isn’t and who isn’t? I’m all for that. But he didn’t sign on to challenge Obamacare. Why not? That was a free — he didn’t have to pay a cent to do that. In my view, he is weak on immigration reform, he’s an amnesty guy. He’s a greeny when it comes to the EPA. He just signed 10 out of 15 gun control laws.
Levin did later say in the interview he liked Sens. Ted Cruz and Rand Paul as well as Gov. Scott Walker.
