I doubt any of my readers need it stated to them

But Chris Christie is not electable as a Republican.  DrewM lays out why at AoSHQ, but the bottom line is this:  The things that make the GOP establishment flog their dolphins over Christie are the very things that would drive away the voting base of the GOP faster than McCain or Romney.

Christie's making of the kissy-face and hugging of Obama during the election last year?  That should have been the nail in his political coffin.  Bridgegate?  Bah, that's chicken-feed.  Christie giving a figurative blow-job to Obama just weeks before the election?

Screw you, Christie.  Let me quote Drew just once here:

You can talk about a “big tent” all you want but if it’s big enough to include people who endorse a significant part of ObamaCare, you don’t have a tent, you have an open-air bazaar where everything is negotiable, including core principles.

The GOP leadership sold their core principals a long time ago.  That's why they're shitting all over their voting base, aka the Tea Party.  And that's why they'll continue to lose, as long as the people running the GOP care more about getting invited to the right cocktail parties inside the Beltway rather than turning this country around from the disaster we're rushing toward at top speed.
