Chris Christie’s presidential ambitions are in a lot of trouble. …
He probably couldn’t have won the nomination in any case — because of his moderate positions on immigration, gun control and Medicaid expansion — but he seemed poised to earn substantial support from many self-described moderate voters, along with many donors in the Republican establishment. The severity of his challenge is therefore quite important, because it puts Jeb Bush in position to consolidate the moderate wing of the G.O.P. CONT.
