"Chris Christie Endorses Donald Trump"

He’s been my friend for many years, he’s been a spectacular governor,” said Mr. Trump, standing with Mr. Christie at a press conference in Fort Worth, Texas, for the endorsement.

I think that Christie's supporters will follow.

Republicans, this is your problem right here. Like the bible says, by their smell @ss fruit you shall know them.

Hello Mr. Vice President.

I forget…Is Gov. Christie a part of the GOP/conservative mainstream? Or is he radical/anti-establishment?

Hillary makes anyone look good.

Between David Duke and Chris Christie endorsements, Trump is having a bad day in my book.

Her hee.

Not VP.

Attorney General.

Undoubtedly, they've known each other for a long time, but I think the Veep stuff is a little premature.

Trump would be much better served by someone who knows Congress as his VP.

Most of them, certainly.

No, this is just politics. A Cabinet post is the best Christie can hope for.

Still waiting for that Sessions endorsement of Cruz.

Head of the FDA.

Americas food taster.

Troop likes his New Jersey neighbor now. That's good, grudges are unhealthy.

'Hillary makes anyone look good.'

Well I agree- but Christie’s endorsement does not have much to do with how Hillary makes others look. Perhaps I’m missing your point. I had thought that Christie was a mainline conservative, but maybe this is just a deal for a spot in the cabinet (AG perhaps).

The GOP seems like it’s time for a fracture. No Mas Illegals vs Free Trade


I also see a Dem fracture to match. That will be an ugly fight since their coalition is all about dividing the same pie.

Here's an endorsement that will turn some heads

Cruz thinks Rubio would be a much better President than Trump.

Say it ain't so, O, One True Ted.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

CNN gave Trump a ton of commercial free, anchor interruption free time.

They must some instant feedback telling them lots of people are watching the big guy.

Trooper York said...

No I don't.

I just think it is funny.

Remember rats don't jump on a sinking ship

Trooper York said...

It was easy to get Christies endorsement. Trump gave him a lifetime pass to the all you.can eat buffet at the Trump Taj Mahal.

Trooper York said...

Trump is in Texas praising Cruz. Smart politics.

He is on a mission to destroy Rubio. The Rent Boy has no idea what is going to hit him.

Really? I thought he just came by with a box of Krispy Kremes. This is all so delicious either way.

edutcher said...

Don't know if this is that big a deal, but here's another endorsement for The Donald.

Governor of Maine.

Christie as the choice for Trump's vice president? I do not think that makes much sense. This thing signals something, but not that, IMO, FWIW. At least so far.

Also, as an aside? May I just say that the visual e-verification for commenting is getting harder and harder? My eyes are failing (seriously, they are). Weird-ass pictures having to do with cactus-y things make it harder and harder to bother.

rcommal said...

Thinking it over, that is perhaps a feature, not a bug, and by that I mean for me. I should take that as a sign.

Jim in St Louis said...

I've always been able to ignore the 'I am not a robot' verification. I don't think it works.

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

I listened to debate clips of Rubio going after Trump on healthcare. Trump repeated himself over and over and sounded like a complete idiot on the subject. Oi.

bagoh20 said...

I know April. I just don't get what is impressive about the man. He's un-apologetically rude? That's it? That gets people all excited? It's the opposite of the ideal of a strong man, who should be stoic, reserved, respectful - a "Quiet Man", a "Trooper".

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

I'm ready to back a winner. I'm ready to win again. I'm OK with looking the other way over SOME issues because I know the political reality is that none of us ever get everything we want. But this guy is a rude fraud. He is a con-man.

Meade said...

Boy Trumpians think they are pissed off now wait until they have had 6 months with the Donald. We may have our first land war in North America in 200 years.

We'll all be hiding behind maple leaf t-shirts.

Someone on Fox last night said Christi for AG and Giuliani for DHS

MamaM said...

Someone else suggested Giuliani for VP. And another said, Kasich, and another, Carson, and another, Condoleezza Rice.

While there's a number of names being thrown into the Possible VP for Trump Pool, I've not heard mention of any viable competent seconds being talked about for Cruz or Rubio.
