Christie: It’s ‘irresponsible’ to threaten a government shutdown

“Christie is often mentioned as a potential 2016 Republican presidential candidate along with Sens. Ted Cruz, Rand Paul and Marco Rubio, who have all been at the front of the defund-Obamacare effort that could lead to a shutdown.

“Some conservatives say they’re not trying to shut down the government; rather, they say their plan keeps the government afloat. If the measure fails, it’s the Democrats who are voting against it, they say.

“But moderate Republicans in the Senate tend to argue the tactic is too dangerous. And Christie agrees.”

Are there still “moderate Republicans” as we used to know them?
