Teasing 2024 White House bid, Christie urges GOP to move past Trump
Washington Times ^ | December 2, 2021 | By Seth McLaughlin and Tom Howell Jr.

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie helped build Donald Trump up in the 2016 presidential primary and now he’s trying to tear him down before the 2024 election.

He says it’s time for the Republican Party to move on from the boisterous former president and his stolen election claims.

The blunt ex-prosecutor and governor has been test-driving his anti-Trump message as part of a public relations blitz around the release of his new book “Republican Rescue,” separating himself from the lion’s share of Republicans who still hail Mr. Trump as their unquestioned leader.

But Mr. Christie is trying to pull off a high-wire act with “a lot of downsides,” said Ross Baker, a politics professor at Rutgers University in New Jersey.

“They include alienating Trump and incurring his malediction, and discovering that there are just not enough anti-Trump Republicans to win him a swing-state primary,” he said. “I think his chances in states that strongly supported Trump are vanishingly small.”

Mocking the idea that Mr. Christie’s message is penetrating, Mr. Trump this week blasted out a link to a headline from Brietbart.com that read “Exclusive: Donald Trump Already Sold 100,000 Copies of Book, 50 Times More than Chris Christie Book.”

Two days earlier, Mr. Trump shared another report from the Daily Mail that Mr. Christie had at that point sold a “paltry 2,289 copies.”

To get around Christie would require a half a tank of gas.

No conservatives in the Republican Party pay any attention to what this fat fool has to say.
Meanwhile he’d do well to eat a heck of a lot less than he usually does.

Mr. Bridge closer. Fat pig let two people go to jail and have their lives destroyed because he didn’t have the integrity to take responsibility.

If not Trump, then who?

Outside of maybe Desantis, I don’t see anyone.

OK, so it looks like Pence, Christie and maybe Baker or Cheney are opting for the Not-Trump lane in 2024.

By all means, split up your 20% of the vote.

Run Chris, run! Pick Liz Cheney as your VP! Or Mitt Romney! Launch your campaign in front of a bridge! Or at the beach! Nobody will touch you! No, really, nobody will touch you.

It’s not Trump. It is the movement that a Trump sparked. Christie isn’t bright enough to know.
