... if Christie runs against Hillary, all kinds of “conservatives” will flock to him. The Republican Plantation demands it. They obey.If Christie wins the nomination, Republicans will vote for him, because the alternative is a third Dem term. But Christie has to win the GOP nomination. Which of Romney's wealthy donors who provided hundreds of millions of dollars will support Christie? Which of the GOP faithful who worked their butts off for Romney despite disagreeing with him will work for Christie? Nobody likes getting stabbed in the back. Christie was toast as soon as he pulled that maneuver.
