Chris Christie’s reputation as a moderate – even by the standards of today’s Republican Party – is vastly overrated

Dunno, disparaging his own republican party after the atlantic storm was a daring maneuver, not done all too frequently by politicians to such fanfare.

And here I thought christie might just jump ship & change parties.... oh haha, no, not that far! jump ship & join bloomburgs 'independent' party.
Depends on next 3 years I think, and those 'useless polls which change all the time so we don't pay attention to them', haha again, for if polls point to a possible win over the 2016 dem candidate, while running as a republican, no change, but were he to become out of the running he just might jump ship to indy; .. I don't know if there's much love lost with his own party right now, & while breakin up may be hard to do, gettin' back together can be harder.

Of course if he switched to indy I doubt he'd be that vengeful towards gop, to run for pres as an indy. Maybe he's already addressed this somehow?
