Since New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has endorsed Donald Trump, he has been:
Humiliated by video showing Trump ordering him onto the plane and telling him to “go home.” Condemned by his former finance co-chair Meg Whitman. (“The Governor is mistaken if he believes he can now count on my support, and I call on Christie’s donors and supporters to reject the Governor and Donald Trump outright. I believe they will. For some of us, principle and country still matter.”) Excoriated for his disastrous TV interview on Sunday. Phrases like “train wreck,” “off the rails” and “disaster” were used to describe his appearance. In other words, if it had not been obvious to him before this weekend, his political career is essentially over. He has gone from someone admired for his political talent to the object of derision as an errand boy for someone who espouses fascistic ideas (e.g., punishing the press) and openly displays his bigotry (e.g., retweeting a Mussolini quote). Christie is now signed up with the man who the Anti-Defamation League on Sunday was compelled to call out for pretending initially not to know who David Duke is:
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is providing information on extremists and hate groups to all of the presidential candidates, including Donald Trump, who earlier today in an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper indicated he did not know anything about notorious former Klansman and racist hatemonger David Duke. Last week, Duke endorsed Trump’s candidacy for president.

omg...it was a “well done nice job go home and rest” type of thing.
Christie already was over. He never was a decent Presidential candidate past 2010. Maybe he could have run for the Senate but that’s about it.
He was deluded to think otherwise.
Ruined? Maybe the next Vice President or member of Trump’s cabinet, but hardly ruined. These GOPe maggots are making a lot of people angry.

I don’t think Rubin or any of these beltway idiots have any say who’s ruined or not anymore. if anything Christie may be a natural inheritor of this movement. His quick, brash personality can easily become a champion of the people. I say this as a compliment. Not everyone can maintain this movement.
I no longer am supporting Trump, but I fully recognize the failure of the party and the government and ongoing no-holds barred anger at them. I am in solidarity on that issue. I don’t like the tactics of Trump in the past couple months, but I still respect the idea behind the movement.
This is as much a lie as the Rubio "Not a lot of answers in there" hoax.
I'm not even a Trump supporter, and this is way unfair to Trump.
Christie had to get back to Jersey. Trump had a private plane for Chris revving up in the background....and told him to "Go".
Ms. Rubin is only “conservative’ when it comes to using US troops in needless foreign interventions. She is hyper critical on every other issue that has a conservative bent, and is about as “conservative” as the other in-house pets, Russ Douthat and David Brooks of the NY Times, and Kathleen Parker of whatever she writes for. Full of vitriol but never directed at the Dems.
You're damn right, and you can count me as one of them.
This is the article (first of about 10 similar Trump-slams) that Amazon ‘gave’ me this morning. Maybe they know I don’t watch the news or let myself be programmed in media ways.
If any of this were true then we can expect Trump to lose today.
Let’s rewind the tape and see if Whitman was as appalled when Christie gave the famous hug on the beach.
I don’t recall any righteous anger then.
That'll leave a mark! LOL.
So they’re going all in on KKK and implying Trump is anti-Semitic as well?
If it were true and they cared, why didn’t they boycott The Apprentice and Miss Universe years ago?
Think “Jane Hathaway from the Beverly Hillbillies with a darker shade of hair”.
