[brooklynite]

Former Gov. Chris Christie’s (R) PAC has been doing some “generic non candidate specific” polling, according to financial disclosures.

To clarify: this is a FEDERAL-election PAC

2. Why would you Assume that?

Christie burned his bridges with Trump in the pre-Primary.

3. So? what does that mean?

Non-candidate specific polling?

Is the republican position on abortion popular?

4. When and if they dump Trump, Republicans will turn to someone with experience

Haley, DeSantis, and Christie come to mind. Christie-Haley would have adequate credibility to make a fair showing if perhaps not quite a horse race. But what will the RNC that Trump owns do?

5. These are old expenses (from March)

Christie was going to be the No Labels presidential candidate if they could find a name Democrat to run with him as VP. They could not so they folded the effort earlier this month.

In an exclusive interview, Dan K. Webb, a top national trial lawyer headquartered in Chicago — who was in charge of creating the vetting process for the No Labels third-party run — tells Sneed “the ticket came this/close to reality weeks ago.”

Webb says former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who had nixed a No Labels invite to run for president soon after bowing out of the Republican presidential primary in January, “suddenly signaled late last month he would run if we secured him a Democrat as a running mate.”

Webb says recent polling by the centrist No Labels group last month “was matching polls Chris [Christie] was conducting showing a third-party candidate could split the vote three ways if Chris ran.”

“It could give the voters a clear choice: equally taking votes away from [Democrat] Joe Biden and [Republican Donald] Trump. And for the record, we never considered [Robert F.] Kennedy [Jr]. No Labels was not going to destroy its brand,” he said.
