As you can see from the picture taken this Memorial Day of President Obama visiting the newly refurbished Jersey Shore with Republican Governor Chris Christie, this could very well be the end of Chris Christie as a Republican. This is way beyond the pale. Not only respecting the President of the United States, but being friendly and even touching him!
The NJ Republican said this weekend as the Republican angst began, that he can win as an Independent in the 2014 Governor race and does not need the GOP. Which also leads to the question of him running for President in 2016. It is doubtful that he can win the nomination through the extremist Republican primary season. Can he then beat Hillary as an Independent? Boy what a kick in the pants for the GOP that would be. Talk is that with social media on the rise, third party candidates now have a far better chance than ever before to win elections.
Christie seems to be the only Republican I can think of who is not running scared from being primaried by the Tea Party.
