Chris Christie Endorses Donald Trump

[ABX]

Well that will secure the Conservative vote.

Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey endorsed Donald J. Trump on Friday, a major turn in a wild race and one that gives the New York businessman a major boost as he heads into the pivotal Super Tuesday contests.

Mr. Christie was a candidate himself until he came in sixth place in New Hampshire’s primary. Seeing his political career facing an abrupt conclusion at the end of a second term as governor following his faded presidential campaign, he was said to be is deeply angry with Senator Marco Rubio, according to three people with direct knowledge of his thinking. He blames Mr. Rubio’s “super PAC” for halting his momentum in New Hampshire in December with a string of slash-and-burn ads.....

Chris Christie endorses Donald Trump

 (CNN)New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie offered a surprise endorsement to Donald Trump, saying there is no one better prepared to lead the country in the Republican 2016 race.

"I am proud to be here to endorse Donald Trump for president of the United States," the New Jersey Republican told reporters at a press conference in Texas.

"The best person to beat Hillary Clinton on that state last night is undoubtedly Donald Trump," Christie added.

Trump and Christie appeared on stage together the day after a rough debate performance where the real estate mogul faced off against Sens. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz.

"Generally speaking I'm not big on endorsements," Trump said, adding, "This was an endorsement that really meant a lot."

Christie, in the waning days of his own presidential campaign, had specifically targeted Rubio as not qualified for the office.

He's no doubt looking at the second chair, but Trump will should be looking for another part of the Country for that selection.

Chris Christie: Donald Trump Acting Like A Teenager In Fox News Debate Fight

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/01/28/chris-christie-trump-acting-like-a-teenager-in-debate-fight-not-a-leader/

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is raising new questions about Donald Trump’s leadership – after the billionaire decided to skip tonight’s Fox News debate.

Speaking to voters last night, Christie accused Trump of acting like a teenager instead of a leader who was ready for the White House.

Christie argued that Trump’s fight with Fox News symbolized what kind of president he would be.

“What’s that tell you about what we can expect if things go sideways when you go into the Oval Office? What are you going to do? Go upstairs to the residence and say I’m not playing?” he asked. “You know, Vladimir Putin isn’t being nice to me, I’m not going to return his call? The press isn’t being nice to me, I’m not going to hold any more press conferences?”

By quitting the debate, Christie said, Trump was acting like a “thirteen-year-old” and quoted his mother who always reminded him that “life wasn’t fair.”

“The kind of person you want to vote for, the kind of person you want in the Oval Office, and the kind of person you want to stand on the stage next September against Hillary Rodham Clinton is not a person that when one thing goes sideways, when one things seems not fair, they’re just going to walk away and take their marbles and go away,” he warned.

In an interview with Sean Hannity last night, Christie said that Trump was acting thin-skinned in his battle with Fox News.

“Why is he picking on Megyn Kelly? I don’t understand – why’s he picking on Fox News? I don’t understand that. It makes no sense. This guy’s got more coverage on this network by a multiple of five or six than any of the rest of us and he says he is being treated unfairly?” he asked. “That’s a really thin skin, Sean.”

Christie reminded Fox News viewers that Trump had been given unprecedented access to the cable news network.

“He phones in to every darn show. None of the rest of us do that. He sits in his jammies in Trump Tower and phones in,” he said. “You guys don’t let any of the rest of us do that.”

The New Jersey governor has been critical of Trump since the debate circus started.

“I think Donald Trump is making a big mistake,” Christie said in an interview on Boston Herald Radio. “I am glad he is not coming from my perspective, it’s more time for the rest of us on the stage.”

When asked by Hannity if he was trying to pick a fight with Trump, Christie denied it.

“I’m not picking on him. It’s the truth,” he said. “If you don’t like the debate moderators, stand up and fight. You don’t like the networks, stand up and fight, show up and fight.”

Rush hinting at the same thing, if not VP maybe attorney general.

South and West, where people have been moving over the Post WWII era.

Where innovation has moved. Where Reagan came from, and went back to.

I suppose Rubio and Cruz would fit for South, and get bonus points for Hispanic.

Let the healing begin.

Sandoval, Martinez, others as well should be looked at. But I hesitate even mentioning names, since the purity checklist makers spring into action to find all of the imperfections. They are so adept at the small picture, and so blind to the big picture.

   Folks. I don't think it could get much worse; Trump/Christie.  God help us!

Actually he might make a good AG. He certainly is tough enough for the job and has the background. A Republican AG is always one of the targets the Leftists go after hard.

==============================

[GAJohnnie]

This one of the things people forget. Once a campaign starts winning there is always a bandwagon effect. Looking at the current polling, and this move by Cristie, and you get the sense that is starting to kick in.

[GAJohnnie]

You mean like clinging to dogmas of ideological purity in face of the will of the voters? That sort of "big" thinking?

I doubt Rubio or Cruz since Trump doesn't believe they are eligible and as he's said, he doesn't forget.  Like you, I hesitate to advance a name now, as this whole election has been insane.  But if he were to ask...Martinez addresses several of his shortcomings.

This just got FUN!!!!!

Chris Christie Throws His Weight Behind Donald Trump Campaign: Authoritarian Governor Endorses Authoritarian Candidate

The "will of the voters" is fickle.  Political relativism is as dangerous as moral relativism.

I liked Christie in the debates. Funny White House Chef!

I have thought of her for a long time, but she had a flap involving liquor at a party in a hotel room incident.

Apparently hotel security approached the group, and the Gov. gave them sort of a "don't you know  I am the Governor?" shot.

When I was a kid, New York was the population leader followed I believe by Illinois. Today the rank is California, Texas, Florida.

Sometimes I feel like shouting "hey, we are still here. Inventing your computers, smartphones, programming languages, shipping your Chinese goods through our ports, with huge population numbers."

Yet in this election we do not exist. Maybe we will rate a VP.
