Consequently, Christie has absolutely no chance of winning the GOP nomination in 2016, nor any chance of being on the ticket as VP. Any northeasterners who think Christie is a viable national candidate are beyond deluded.
If there's one thing that can de-energize the conservative/TEA party base, it's liberal northeast Republican gun-grabbers.
Combine that with the fact that Christie consistently has to wipe 0bama's j--m off his face, I'd say that Christie is about as likely to be the GOP nominee in 2016 as Mitt Romney is...
Uh, considering the quality of Republican primary voters, you might want to revise this statement.
