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.
We’ll see. I don’t think gay marriage will be an issue in 2016, either, except in the GOP primaries. I think if Christie runs in ‘16, he skips Iowa to avoid the socon crazies, and goes straight to NH, where he should kill.
