Chris Christie Endorses Donald Trump for President

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie offered up the latest twist of the Republican presidential primary when he endorsed Donald Trump on Friday, saying the GOP frontrunner is "rewriting the playbook of American politics."

The backing from his vanquished primary opponent came the day after Trump found himself under fierce attack from Sens. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz in the final debate before next week's critical Super Tuesday nominating contests.

"The single most important thing for the Republican Party is to nominate the person who gives us the best chance to beat Hillary Clinton," Christie said at a news conference in Fort Worth, Texas. "I can guarantee that the one person Hillary and Bill Clinton don't want to see on that stage come next September is Donald Trump."

"He is rewriting the playbook of American politics because he is providing strong leadership that is not dependent upon the status quo. The best person to beat Hillary Clinton in November is undoubtedly Donald Trump," Christie added.

Trump, who previously dismissed the importance of endorsements, said Christie is "the one endorsement that I felt very strongly about."

“I’m not sure what your point is.”

I made a big fat point that Kreme hugs the most progressive guy he can catch.

So you believe an endorsement requires knee pads?

I like Christie. As far as I can tell, he’s tough as nails, doesn’t let the lib reporters get away with their crap and wants to prosecute Hillary.

Yes, it is. I obtained four from the Bicentennial Commission in 1976. Now the kids have them.

I think you are right. John Trumbull wasn’t as accurate in the depiction as he could have been and he admitted it.

If you had been around FR longer than one month after Trump announced you would know what "high esteem" that suck-up Chris Christie is regarded by T.E.A. Party Conservatives.

You are nothing more than a Kook-Aid Drinking, Election-Year Troll!

Have you donated yet for the privilege of posting your idiotic crapola?

Does donating wisdom count?

Quite frankly, even though I’m a Trump advocate, Christie does a better job of communicating than Trump. Boy, can he “give it” to his opponents! When Christie confronted Rubio, think Rubio wet his dirty diapers. :-)

Terrific Endorsement today by Christie. While the Republican fascists waved their puppet cuban commie boy out of desperation.

Meanwhile, the Clinton-Boleshiviks are beginning to spew their sweat, as the original Grand Plan to run against the cuban commie boy is falling apart.

This Election, is the Great (and probably) final battle for the U.S. maintaining it’s sovereign territory, vs. assimulation into a world-global fascist-communist subjection.

God bless Donald Trump, God bless the territory of the United States of America.
