Dallas, Texas (CNN) -- In the afterglow of Chris Christie's smashing re-election win last November, a chorus of big-name Republicans heralded the charismatic New Jersey governor as the party's savior in 2016.
Not everyone was so enamored.
Just days after the election, Texas Gov. Rick Perry appeared on national television and poured cold water on Christie's impressive victory.
"He was a successful governor in New Jersey," Perry said on ABC's "This Week." "Now does that transcend to the country? We'll see in later years and months to come. We're all different states. Is a conservative in New Jersey a conservative in the rest of the country?"

Stay tuned.
Actually after I finally got educated and got over the Rick Perry RINO BS I realized he would prolly have been a pretty good President. I can understand why he does not like Crispy as neither do I.
sort of like Newman and Jerry...”Hello Rick” “Hello Chris”
I think he would have been better than Bush and way better then Bammy, Hillary, or Crispy.
