If he was not invited, perhaps it is because of how he showcased President Obama in the aftermath of Sandy, which may very well have cost Mitt Romney the election.  I believe that the 2016 election is going to require a sharp contrast in ideology with President Obama’s two terms of outrageous spending, his energy policy and his job and economy killing regulations.  The Republican Party is going to need a much more conservative candidate who can convey a strong message for the necessity of a smaller, less intrusive government. Governor Christie is too moderate to be a good contender.
