Chris Christie Endorses Donald Trump
The New York Times ^ | February 25, 2016 | Staff

Posted on 02/26/2016 9:50:55 AM PST by abb

Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey endorsed Donald J. Trump on Friday, a major turn in a wild race and one that gives the New York businessman a major boost as he heads into the pivotal Super Tuesday contests.

Mr. Christie was a candidate himself until he came in sixth place in New Hampshire’s primary. But his backing of Mr. Trump comes after weeks of him saying that it was time for the “entertainment” portion of the race to end, and as he had said that the type of executive leadership that a governor has is important.

He may go after Cruz and Rubio as well...I am getting sick of Cruz & Rubio and their special press conferences trying to take Trump out.

“Incoherent hyperbole.” Completely agree - this was put to me by a Trump supporter so you are in good company.

“Yes. Because expansion of Medicare Part D, Universal Health Care and more liberal SC judges are probably coming anyway, Get used to it.”

I’ll leave you with this.....which will be a waste of time but at the very least you can’t revert to calling him a liar. All to easy.

I don’t care how well he succeeded in building his corporate empire.

I want to hear specifics and substance about how he intends to do what he says he is going to do, outside of sloganeering, repetition of the problem, and do so within the bounds of Constitutional law and not as dictator.

What I have heard from him does not give me a lot of confidence that he will.

Christie would be a much better choice for VP than Haley.

Krispy made his bones with The Donald when he hacked into marcobot’s operating system.

Now chubby fatass is gonna make the gay Cuban wish he stayed at the foam parties.

Then he will take on the other Cuban for fun!

Christie as AG would indict his own family if he had evidence of illegal activity. Although a bit socially liberal in thinking, he's a killer prosecutor.

Sounds good. That is what we need as an AG to cleanup after Holder and his female clone.

I guess I would be curious as to what Cruz has stated that you consider to be ‘preaching’ and therefore inappropriate to state in a campaign.

Government paying for health care, planned parenthood being pretty great, being a donor to the worst of the worst of Demoncrats.

Yeh, Christie changed his tune, did you not even see what I posted? Just this past August, Christie was saying Trump did not have the temperament to be President, but now, he’s all in with Trump.

That would be a flip flop. Hello?

Christie endorsing this morning has completely halted the media narrative this morning (about the debate) and this will be the talk all weekend.

Again Trump gets free media coverage from Friday through Monday. Then, we have super Tuesday for the real smashing of RuboCruzette the Cuban amnesty duo.

“I’ll leave you with this.....”

You’ve mistaken my fatalistic view of our virtually unstoppable, unsustainable Fedgov, with support for it.

No matter.

Point is: Trump is something different.

So I’ll leave YOU with this:

I am telling you what I hear people saying about him. And I cannot tell them, based on what I have heard myself, that their impression was wrong. That’s what it sounded like to me also. In his quest to gain the votes of so-called evangelicals (which clearly was part of his strategy in Iowa), he went about it as a preacher would. Go back and listen to him. Granted, he is the son of a preacher. But so is my son, but he knows not to speak that way in the pursuance of his work.

Here in south Mississippi, most of the people I work with and most of my extended family are Trump supporters. Delivery drivers and salesmen who come by are pro Trump. Even the union guys I know are for Trump. GO TRUMP!!!
