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."

The presidency has zero credibility right now. That didn’t seem to bother you. Why the concern now?

Sorry you hadn’t noticed Mr. Cristie.

Christie hurts the floors of any building he’s in.

And he hurts the brain of anyone hearing his idiocy.

The Presidency hasn’t had much credibility since Reagan left office.

Gov. Chris Christie has finally taken the gloves off and stuffed them into his mouth.

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

[Christie] saying it belied a lack of understanding of the complexity of the issue

This is the same old elitist drivel we keep hearing from professional politicians, implying that only THEY are capable of comprehending the issues. This is arrogant and insulting and gives more excuses for doing nothing.

Would Christie consider the past 7 years, an enhancement of the office?

Someone send Crispy a half ton of Pork.

That should shut him up for a few hours. Maybe longer if it includes a autographed photo of Obama.
