I respect and appreciate Gov. Christie and his ounce of sanity that he brings to the GOP but there is no way that he will ever get through the 2016 GOP national primary. No..., the GOP will nominate a nut-job aka George W. Bush style who can pretend to be moderate such as Marco Rubio or far more ominously Jeb Bush or Sarah Palin.

Cornell West and PETA are 2 examples that come to mind. CheapShotArtist Jan 2013 #25

Cornell West is not a nutjob. UnrepentantLiberal Jan 2013 #27

IDK about that... CheapShotArtist Jan 2013 #33

Over the top? Yes. UnrepentantLiberal Jan 2013 #36

I don't think Peta is a nutjob either, they did a lot of good things and follow their agenda. Sunlei Jan 2013 #34

Anyone to the left of him? *shrug* Creideiki Jan 2013 #31

Yep. UnrepentantLiberal Jan 2013 #32

Uhh. Christie also pretends to be moderate. Until the hurricane that's all he did. madinmaryland Jan 2013 #22

I also think Jeb Bush will be a frontrunner in 2016. I don't think that the Bush name is that Nay Jan 2013 #29
