The perception of a moderate is so skewed because of how far right the GOP has moved in the past 5 years. 5 years ago, Christie would be (and was) considered a hardcore conservative. "Hugging Obama" is not a policy that places you further to left on an ideological spectrum.

The GOP has been as nuts as it is today at least since the Gilded Age.
Eh, it's had a few phases of being less nutso (the 50's, for instance).  But I would definitely agree that it is just as nuts now as it was then.

No.
