Sounds like BS to me. Christie consistently led in the GOP primary polls post-re election but pre-bridgegate, he also performed far better than any other Republican against Hillary in this timeframe. At this point, his numbers both in the primary and the general election have been unremarkable. Regardless of whether or not Bridgegate has lasting consequences (and despite the media's rumor mill, this has yet to be confirmed), the fact that it happened at all was a huge blow to Christie's momentum coming off his landslide win.
