In reply to the discussion: Chris Christie Hits Back At Rand Paul Remark On Sandy Aid [View all]Blue Silent Majority
(4 posts)Speaking of an ideological fight in the Republican Party, I had a crazy idea. We all know that Chris Christie is a conservative Republican and nobody here wants to see him become President. However Christie is not a total tea-bagger wacko like Rand Paul or Paul Ryan. So this leads me to a crazy idea. Lets say Christie were to win the White House in 2016. Maybe, just maybe Christie will draw right-leaning moderate voters back to the GOP who will then slowly put the squeeze the super-conservative nut job voters (who are dying off anyway) thus allowing the Republican party to move to the center. With a more centrist GOP, the Democratic party could then move to the left, hopefully with the help of legal immigrants from Latin America, becoming far more progressive giving disenfranchised liberal voters (like us) candidates we might actually want to vote for. Imagine undoing the damage done by the so-called Reagan Revolution in 1980 and Bill Clintons Third Way that moved the Democratic Party too close to the center in 1992.
A president Christie just may lead to a major party realignment. After all it would be nice if the two major parties actually reflected the political views of the American People.
