Trump has previously said that Christie was “harder to debate” than Hillary Clinton, when Christie previously helped him to practice for debates in the 2016 presidential race, the New York Post reports. In my mind Trump's greatest debate moments were:
- When Megyn Kelley jumped him with a bunch of mean things he tweeted about women and Trump responded 'Only Rosey O'Donnell, getting a big laugh'
- When Hillary Clinton made a disparaging remark about how ashamed the Party of Lincoln should be to have Trump and Trump mused 'Abraham Lincoln. Honest Abe, never told a lie. That's the difference between him and YOU!'
- After the dems sandbagged him with Access Hollywood tape, bringing in all of the women Clinton assaulted and seating them in the front row.
All brilliantly flipping the script. And I would bet that Chris Christie had nothing to do with any of them. Can't hurt to have someone challenge him but Trump is brilliant at the snappy comeback when someone sinks their fangs into him.
I truly believe that Trump won the 2016 election when he retorted with "Only Rosie O'Donnell" in that first debate in Cleveland. It was a ballsy move that showed America that Trump was going to be a fighter and not just another cardboard cutout politician.
Any other politician in that situation would have muttered an apology and corkscrewed himself right through the floor of the podium in embarrassment.
Megyn Kelly truly thought that night that she was going to drive Trump from the race with that line of attack. She even predicted before the debate that "after tonight, one of the candidates will not be standing".
Look at her below backstage just before the debate. She looks like the cat that ate the canary and her flunkies were beaming in excitement over what was to come. She was going to TAKE OUT TRUMP and be the most famous news babe ever.
Instead, this moment proved to be the high water mark of Megyn's career. In just minutes, Trump would eviscerate her on national TV and it was all downhill for her after that. Didn't she wind up on some daytime housewife show that failed badly? Now I have no idea what she is even doing today.
