Gov. Chris Christie has finally taken the gloves off when it comes to Republican presidential rival Donald Trump, attacking the GOP frontrunner's quick-fix solutions on immigration as something that "hurts the credibility of the Presidency" and saying that Trump's views on entitlement reform ignore the facts.

In announcing his candidacy for president last month, Trump said he would "build a great wall" along the entire U.S.-Mexico border to stem illegal immigration, boasting that "nobody builds walls better than me, believe me."

-snip-

Speaking with CNBC in a Keene, N.H., diner on Tuesday, Christie derided Trump's "great line" about having the U.S.'s southern neighbor pay for the wall, saying it belied a lack of understanding of the complexity of the issue.

Instead, Trump advocated growing the U.S. economy to help shore up the ailing trust fund.

"The math doesn't support Donald's position," Christie said in his CNBC interview. "It's not just about growth. You still have to deal with the facts."

Fat Boy is delusional enough to think that he is relevant, or that he should run for the presidency.

Riiiiight, Christie.

Trump has no concept of finance, of building big projects, of making things work. Only the governor of a dogsh*t east coast blue state would know the true essence of those things.

The one thing that cannot be stated is The Truth.

Trump has been saying it all along and Huckabee stumbled into it this weekend.

The MSM and self-styled beard-scratching pundits are all atwitter.

GOOD!

Christie: Trump 'hurts the credibility of the Presidency'

Even if Trump's actions were damaging, after Ebola, what damage is there left to do?

The Donald's response should be entertaining, and the media's response to it will give The Donald another boost in the polls.

I predict he will point out how citizens are fleeing NJ faster than any other state. The truth will shred Christy Creme

By this time next year, folks may be asking, “Christie Who?”
He’s pretty low in the polls, feeling smaller and lighter than any diet could make possible.

Yeah, exactly. If only we poor bitter clinger rubes had the nuanced intelligence of our half-ton RINO betters, we'd be able to understand.

FUCC!

Christie: Trump ‘hurts the credibility of the Presidency’

Really? After 7 years of Obama you can say this with a straight face?

[[The presidency has zero credibility right now.]]

Christie probably thinks that the current -resident has brought ‘class and dignity to the office’

I wish Christie would just leave- He’s a poor excuse for a ‘republican’
