Chris Christie wouldn't have made it through the primaries. His polling numbers among the people who vote in primaries were not that good.

Yeah, he was always a leading favorite Republican candidate among non-Republicans. Primary voters? No way.

Aw, hell, if Chris Christie is "Republican Lite," what chance in hell is there for a non-sociopath Republican candidate?

To be fair, most of the "hardcore" conservatives are not sociopaths, they are just shallow ideologues :)

A true sociopath would appear to be a pragmatist, as that's the most practical approach.
