re: #48 leftynyc

I think Christie is looking at 2020. I think he knows he stands no chance in the republican primaries for not hating the President enough and I suspect he thinks (as you do) that 2016 is going to be a “Goldwater” year. I think that’s why he pulled his appeal on the gay marriage issue. By 2020, that simply wont be an issue anymore.

I agree; Christie probably has the feeling - the same as a lot of us - that 2016 is going to be an electoral massacre for the GOP, and he has every intention of staying the hell out of it.
