Is Chris Christie going to run for President as a Democrat in 2016? [View all]

Could he challenge Hillary and even attempt to be on the ticket?

Is that what is in the back of his mind.

I know some here are loving what he is doing.

Being from the area, I know the real Chris Christie and know he can't win the republican primary. He is also not on our side as a republican.His views are on the right.

But could he be thinking of switching?

I can't see him beating Hillary, who will be President against any contender.

But on the off chance that Hillary isn't going to run I can see both Christie and Bloomberg running and beating other candidates. (Bloomberg for Pres,as a Dem, Christie for VP... Who knows.)

(and what if they teamed up? Bloomberg/Christie?
There is no candidate on either side that would beat that team.
(except Hillary of course).
