Chris Christie swipes Nikki Haley for 'deferring' to Trump on potential 2024 run: Shows 'weakness, indecision'

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie threw some shade at former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley over remarks she made about whether or not she would run for president in 2024.

Last month, Haley was asked if she would support former President Trump if he threw his hat in the ring, which she said "yes," but also made clear that she would not launch a GOP primary bid against him.

"I would not run if President Trump ran and I would talk to him about it," Haley told the Associated Press. "That’s something that we will have a conversation about at some point, if that decision is something that has to be made. But yeah, I would, absolutely."

She went on to praise the "working relationship" she had with Trump while serving as UN ambassador.

However, during his appearance on Tuesday's installment of the "Ruthless" podcast, Christie took an indirect jab at Haley when asked about his own 2024 prospects.

"After 2022 is over, we'll make a decision about whether we're going to run or not, but I certainly won't preclude it and I'm also not going to be one of these people who's gonna say, ‘Well, I’ll wait to see what President Trump is gonna do,'" Christie said. "I'm not going to defer to anyone. If I decide that it's what I want to do and I think I'm the best option for the Republican Party and for the country."

He continued, If you're saying you're deferring to someone, that's a real sign of both weakness and indecision and we've already got that in the White House."

Weakness and indecision - is that better or worse than delusional about ever being a short fat POTUS?

So that fat f*** might run for President AGAIN? Maybe he and John Kasich can run on the same ticket. Losers.

Christie is an asshat hoping to be the Establishments guy while appearing to be brash and independent hoping his act will fool the base.
You don’t get elected in New Jersey if you’re a Conservative. Just like you don’t get elected in Massachusetts if you’re a Conservative.
He doesn’t have a chance with the 75+ Million Trump voters but, apparently, his ego won’t allow him to realize this fact.

Christie is correct about the ‘deference’ courtesy.
Someone with a real fire in the belly and a resume to match will show ambition by openly declaring their entry into the race.

That said, I think Christopher J. Christie has about as much chance as a certain Mike Pence in getting the nomination, meaning zero to none. Too much bad blood from both men.

This clown is as stupid as he is fat. Trump increased his numbers by ten million voters during the last election. Does he really think those voters are actually looking for Biden-lite? It’s his money to waste.

Well that answers one question. Christie is running in 2024.

If I had a gun to my head and I had to choose between these two RINOs, I’d go for Nikki.

Fortunately, both of them have zero chance of getting the nomination.

Haley has to consider options that Christie doesn't have.

She's likely to be the VP nominee.

He isn't.
