I'd need a bigger helicopter.

Gov. Chris Christie on Sunday said the reason he hasn't attacked Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump is that "there's been a march" for U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio.
But he hinted that strikes on the real estate tycoon may be coming soon.
Since declaring his own presidential bid in late June 2015, the famously feisty and plain-spoken New Jersey governor has avoided speaking ill of Trump, first ignoring him and later excusing his more outrageous comments as the talk of someone without experience.
However, appearing on CNN's "State of the Union" with Jake Tapper on Sunday monrning, Christie said that "there could be a time when I go after Mr. Trump as well," but that "those are decisions for me to make. As I said to someone recently, 'I engage at a time of my choosing.' I chose last night to engage with Senator Rubio because the stakes are so high here in New Hampshire."
The latest UMass/7News poll of New Hampshire voters has Christie lagging Rubio by 10 points. Rubio is in second place, behind front-runner Donald Trump.
"We cannot nominate what the Democrats did eight years ago," Christie insisted. "A first-term senator, unprepared for the world, unprepared for the race."
The New Hampshire primary is Tuesday.

Cruz can best Christie or anyone else running. I’m not really worried about Christie.
I'd need a bigger helicopter.
Jawa the hut? Really , this guy needs gym time and lots of it.
Mr. Christie thinks a little too highly of himself I think.
Christie's talent is being a boss....but his agenda is "nothing in particular"....he just likes running. Some type of watchdog position...Have to think some more about a good fit for him.
That’ll be worth the price of admission. I’ll make sure to have popcorn ready for the next debate.
Christie should be kissing The Don’s butt for a possible future position.
What is he waiting for? His candidacy will be dead in a few weeks.
How funny considering on Wednesday hell be suspending his campaign.
You give him a few weeks?
“there could be a time when I go after Mr. Trump as well,” but that “those are decisions for me to make. As I said to someone recently, ‘I engage at a time of my choosing.’
Looks like a lot of supposition to me. It was a classic non-answer.
I was being generous toward the big Governor.
