“This strain of libertarianism that’s going through parties right now and making big headlines I think is a very dangerous thought,”

He couldn’t have given conservatives a better gift. We can live with liber(al)tarians. I think the people who lean liber(al)tarian and conservatives could build a majority coalition. Christie’s comment draws the distinction between Republicans, whose brand is tainted, and conservatives, who have more in common with Pot-smoking, OWS types than with the country club GOP.

The problem is the GOP is run by, and filled with, people who think like Christie. I would call them RINOs, but I'm going to think Conservatives are the true RINOs since the GOP is resembling the DNC more and more these days. Those same people will see that a Christie or a Rubio or a Bush will get the nomination in 2016.

You're not doing much for coalition building with your insulting addition to the word "libertarian."
