In reply to the discussion: How long will this person remain in the Republican Party? [View all]DFW
(54,057 posts)30. He's not going anywhere
He's gambling on the "reasonable" wing of the Republican Party (led by him, by default), prevailing over the crazies, who he thinks will self-destruct sooner than later. He'll have to contend with Jebbie for the title, and even Rubio is showing signs of becoming more literate with respect to the writing on the wall. Christie is first in line, and is counting on his (considerable) visibility to keep him there. So far, he's not wrong.

The part about the Republican primary is not. He's moving himself into Giuliani territory.

Four years is a long time. We may not recognize what's left of the GOP by then.

Yeah, that'll last until Christy gets his ass handed to him by the tea party in the primaries.

Sounds like a repub to me. Many are not fooled by the likes of Crist and Christie.
