Are Chris Christie's Problems with the Republican Base Exageratted?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

The problem Christie had back before late 2012 was that he was being promoted heavily across the nation and he had to some effect the same thing going against him that Rudy did being "America's Mayor". Once people got to know Rudy, his positions on abortion, guns and immigration, he was done. As for Christie he is somewhat better off, but he is still going to get burned pn the last two. Someone is going to use immigration to get past all these people. Rubio, Ryan, Christie, etc etc. It might be Paul now that he has an out based on his amendment being rejected, or Santorum but it will come up and the two people most vulnerable are those that "surprise" as opposed to those we already know about.

In way this anti-Christie stuff may have helped him because it might take some of it off the table by the time 2016 rolls around.
