He will have to become an independent eventually.The Repub party won't want him. Hey, Teddy Roosevelt turned independent and made up his own party when he ran against Taft and Wilson.
The real issue is that Repubs have driven out northeastern Repubs a long time ago and Christie is one of the few left of national stature.
