Will Chris Christie challenge Trump in 2020? 'Never say never,' former governor says

 Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie hasn’t ruled out challenging President Trump in 2020 as his scathing book indicting the administration nears release next week.

Christie, who ran for president in 2016 but dropped out during the Republican primaries and went on to support Trump, spoke in Riverside County, Calif., this week at an event that was part of the Desert Town Hall Speakers Series.
 
CHRIS CHRISTIE, IN NEW BOOK, ACCUSES JARED KUSHNER OF POLITICAL 'HIT JOB'

In recent weeks, ahead of his book release titled “Let Me Finish: Trump, The Kushners, Bannon, New Jersey and the Power of In-Your-Face Politics,” Christie has been making many public addresses, fueling speculation that he may challenge Trump in 2020.

“Never say never,” he told the audience in Indian Wells after being asked whether he will seek the White House, KESQ-TV of Palm Springs reported.

Christie knows his stuff, we talked about him earlier. Considering how pro-choice NJ and NY are, he clearly affected pro-life measures, got planned parenthood after him.  I'd consider a vote for him.  I'm sure he has his faults as they all do.

   Unfortunately the only reason NY Liberalism has failed is because American hasn't elected the right NY Liberal.

So I'm told...

Christie? That'd be almost enough to make me vote for Trump....
Trump's crew banned bump stocks, but Christie wants to ban the whole rifle, and a herd of those. (Not to mention make it a felony to own a tin box that just happens to be able to feed more than 10 rounds of ammo into a firearm.)


That's a deal breaker. Anyone who has pushed anything against the RKBA is out.

That was my point. Virtually anyone. If that is your standard for voting which many here advocate.

Ah yes, and we're getting back to the classic question again.... "to vote or not to vote".  Many say what's the point.  I say, because I'm just that pissed off at the left.  I suspect that my sentiments won't (ever) change, from the looks of things.   :shrug:

A compulsive weight problem who needs a rope to pull him through a
