He might survive the primaries, as McCain and Romney did, but he would suffer the same fate in the general as the two moderates did. Enough of the base in the swing states would choose to stay home. Christie wouldn't win any NE State vs Clinton. So it's back to a swing state / base election. And a squishy moderate doesn't bring out the Republican base.
