Chris Christie Endorses Donald Trump and Calls Marco Rubio ‘Desperate’
12:49 pm ET By Maggie Haberman
Updated, 1:54 p.m. | 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 significant boost as he heads into the pivotal “Super Tuesday†contests.
Mr. Christie was a candidate for president himself until he came in sixth place in New Hampshire’s primary. Seeing his political career facing an abrupt conclusion after his failed presidential campaign, he expressed his anger Friday at Senator Marco Rubio, whom he was said to be upset with, blaming the “super PAC†backing the Florida senator for halting his momentum in New Hampshire with a string of slash-and-burn ads.
The endorsement came a day after Mr. Rubio, in a withering debate performance, turned his guns on Mr. Trump for the first time, and followed up with his attacks on Friday morning, calling Mr. Trump a “con artist.â€
At Friday’s news conference announcing the endorsement, which was peppered with demeaning insults of Mr. Rubio by the two men, Mr. Christie repeatedly attacked Mr. Rubio, calling his behavior at the debate “desperate†and reflective of a “losing campaign.â€

Cruz and Rubio, why did you have to carry water for the GOPe? At least, you Cruz were pretending to be the outsider until you showed your inner Senator.
Best Election, EVAH!!!

And both are desperate.
They don’t like each other. This is a relationship of expediency.
Maybe Christie can work that bridge construction to that beautiful (/s) wall.
Trump just released the Chr-aken!
Despite the fact that Christie is a big suck-up... This is very significant. Christie not endorsing Rubio means to me that the GOPe does not believe that he is not going to fly, and that Trump is likely to get enough delegates to avoid a brokered convention. Rubio is almost sure to lose even his home state of Florida, his only conceivable path to the nomination is a brokered convention. It is not going to happen.

Re: Eighth Republican debate, New Hampshire 2016
From the transcript...
RUBIO: And let's dispel once and for all with this fiction that Barack Obama doesn't know what he's doing. He knows exactly what he's doing. Barack Obama is undertaking a systematic effort to change this country, to make America more like the rest of the world.
That's why he passed Obamacare and the stimulus and Dodd-Frank and the deal with Iran. It is a systematic effort to change America.
-snip-
CHRISTIE: We've heard it said on the stage that President Obama knows exactly what he's doing.
-snip-
RUBIO: Here's the bottom line. This notion that Barack Obama doesn't know what he's doing is just not true. He knows exactly what he's doing.
CHRISTIE: There it is. There it is. The memorized 25-second speech. There it is, everybody.
RUBIO: Well, that's the __ , that's the reason why this campaign is so important. Because I think this notion - I think this is an important point. We have to understand what we're going through here. We are not facing a president that doesn't know what he's doing. He knows what he is doing. That's why he's done the things he's done.
That's why we have a president that passed Obamacare and the stimulus. All this damage that he's done to America is deliberate. This is a president that's trying to redefine this country. That's why this election is truly a referendum on our identity as a nation, as a people. Our future is at stake.

TRUMP [on the Larry King Show (April 15, 2009), referring to the then newly elected communist president (Obama)]: "Well, I really like him. I think that he's working very hard. He's trying to rebuild our reputation throughout the world. I mean, we really have lost a lot of reputation in the world. The previous administration [GW Bush] was a total disaster, a total catastrophe."

Clinton is seeing the horizon and she is wondering: If I can’t beat an old low energy socialist coot easily how am I going to beat Trump’s forces?

Trump/Christie 2016 and there goes NJ - election over.

Choices.

I never watched even one episode of Star Trek, but I’m guessing that’s good!
LOLOL.
That’s great!
Right!
Cruz tried to prosecute and Rubio was just a snarky punk.
