No idea. However Christie sure exposed Rubio as a lightweight robot.
By the way I could see Christie as Attorney General.
Yeah, Trump promised to make him AG in a Trump administration.
You think Cruz is up to his old dirty trick again?
Christie is an ass. He took out Rubio for no apparent reason. If Trump makes him VP we will have two RINO’s on the same ballot, distinguishable only by body mass.
Christie did good, does look like Trump was impressed.
Unfortunately for Christie, Kasich racked up most of the pro-governors vote.
Absolutely, it couldn’t be more obvious. Everyone, including Rubio, knew he was going to get it from Trump, so what happens......he is taken down by Christie, within days Christie drops out. This kept Trump above the fray and able to eventually capture Rubio supporters. So what will Christie get?
It is a big target and easy to hit. Christie is worthless.
Maybe he just doesn’t like the twerp.
If anyone would do any research, Christie owes his entire career to the Bush family, both HW and GW Bush.
As Christie was destroying Rubio during the debate, I thought he’s going to be Trump’s VP.
Yep.
A box of Krispy Kremes.
Christie has been on the two young senators since the first debate.
We owe Christie gratitude for exposing Rubio for the mindless robot he is, and for sticking in it long enough to bring him down. Thanks governor!
Very, very little happens in the political sphere without some manner of quid pro quo.
It only gets worse in a Presidential election cycle.
Probably not. There was no upside for him going after Trump or Cruz and Jeb was in the same spot he was. His only hope was totally destroying Rubio (he did) and picking up a good 3rd, then see how things proceed.
He may support Trump, but I don’t think he will. He could be Trumps VP pick, but Trump likes bold and brazen moves so who knows. He may pick Bernie Sanders for VP for all I know.
My view is that Christie did it as a last-ditch attempt to peel off enough votes to remain a viable candidate. The easiest target was Marco Roboto - debate take-downs usually occur after the candidate repeats the same thing over and over again on the campaign trail...just ask Dan Quayle about his referencing of Jack Kennedy and he being of similar age. Rubio was Christie’s biggest threat, the emerging Establishment candidate after Iowa, and Christie wanted that position. Oh, well, it wasn’t meant to be.
WRT Christie being in the Trump Administration...I could see him as the A.G. or the head of Homeland Security, but NOT as V.P. First, the guy is a good attorney and would aggressively fight the government’s battles; if at DHS, he’s had lots of experience with fighting/containing terrorism because of where his state is located and his legal experience. Second, if he is the VP candidate, Trump may well lose - there are LOTS of conservatives who could stomach Trump of there was a conservative on the ticket (Sarah Palin on McCain’s ticket, anyone?), but if the potential successor is just another RINO they will stay home. I don’t think that Trump is that stupid...or stupid enough to think that 2 guys from the Northeast makes for a balanced ticket.
Christie doesn’t need an incentive to go nasty.
And, he wasn’t where he needed to be with everything else he had tried.
