How is that a complement? Autumn Jun 2015 #1

Why wouldn't it be? I, for one, admire riversedge Jun 2015 #3

Chris Christie was not complementing Hillary. But you go on and think he did Autumn Jun 2015 #5

Basically, Christie said that Hillary borrowed Warren's ideas. djean111 Jun 2015 #2

"it sounds like liberal political consultants put together that speech." says Christie... riversedge Jun 2015 #4

The problem with that is Liz was the first one to go there with those ideas and speeches Autumn Jun 2015 #6

I wonder if Lizzie had all those ideas the 27 years she was a Republican? leftofcool Jun 2015 #8

She has them now and that's all that matters. Autumn Jun 2015 #10

Or if Hillary had them all those years she was DLC/New Democrat/Third Way. merrily Jun 2015 #12

Thank you for spelling the word cwydro Jun 2015 #7

Not borrowed. He's saying Hillary and Elizabeth have the same views. MoonRiver Jun 2015 #11

I sincerely doubt that the guy who said the speech seemed put together for Hillary by djean111 Jun 2015 #14

HE may not think so. MoonRiver Jun 2015 #15

Well, "borrowed" the lingo, anyway. merrily Jun 2015 #13

He's finally correct. Warren is NOT running. merrily Jun 2015 #9

The more posts I see from HRC supporters... Wilms Jun 2015 #16

Eliz Warren.

....New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) listened to Hillary Clinton's campaign speech this weekend and said she is starting to sound a lot like a more progressive female politician from Massachusetts.

"First off, I thought that [Sen.] Elizabeth Warren wasn't running for president," Christie told host George Stephanopoulos on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday morning. "But when I listened to Hillary yesterday, it sounds like liberal political consultants put together that speech."

Well, if H sounds like EW--then both would be accused of not having original ideas. Christie would be slamming both

so he is not accusing Liz of not having original ideas. However Christie is slamming Hillary for not having any original ideas. Hillary had to borrow Liz's ideas for her speech is what Christie is saying. Not a complement in any way shape or form.
