Christie is to the left of GHW Bush and Gerald Ford and John McCain. You have to go back to Harold Stassen or Nelson Rockefeller to find a prominent republican more left than Christie.
“Left” is hardly the word. The overwhelming majority of Washington Democrats are not on the political left, and our President certainly isn’t. So the idea that a “moderate” Republican can be described as being within five hundred miles of the word “left” is hallucinatory, at best.
Only in America, with our heavily skewed spectrum, are such statements possible.

Christie’s not rightwing enough for him? Who’s going to go for? Ted Cruz?

My guess is he will come to the conclusion that there are no GOP Alpha Dogs, unfortunately.

He is what passes for a Conservative in NJ, he’s a right wing radical there. “All Politics is local” – Tip O’Neill

He’s a less fun version of Rob Ford.
