2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Chris Christie - Republican Future? [View all]CTyankee
(63,912 posts)7. He also said on MJ that it was the redistricting of House seats that has caused
the wingnuttery problem. He's the first Republican I've heard identify it. I must say I was surprised tohear it come out of his mouth!
My guess is that he has realized that his thuggishness has not played well and when he realized that working with Obama on Sandy relief went over extremely well, he decided to take it down a few notches.
However, time will tell...we'll see if he'll revert to his snarling self, altho if I were him I would take a good look at all those photos of him snarling open mouthed and ugly did NOT look presidential, it made him look like he was crazy...

Not sure if he will run in 2016 but if he does he could be very tough to beat. Interesting

Uhh. Christie also pretends to be moderate. Until the hurricane that's all he did.
