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."

Wow, that’s the quickest yet this day from posting to fat joke. And done with such class.
Thank you. I appreciate that. Great.
Joined August 28, 2015 ... Trumpbot?
When did this happen?
Not a Christie fan, but his endorsement is good. Just saw him on Greta, and he’s pretty straight forward about it, Trump is the only one of the three who is a leader ready to be President. The Cubans are two junior senators who have never run anything.
Which candidate is pushing for Canadian style gun laws? Sanders?
OK, so you are not sure of what point you were making earlier either. Thanks.
I may be wrong, but I think Christie has lowered his sights and is now running for Attorney General.
Methinks, we could do worse. Hell, we have. Recently.
No It Doesn't!
Jim and crew work hard, long hours, maintaining this ad-free website for us and deserves your monetary support, anything you can contribute would be appreciated.
Otherwise, I consider you an election-year, ungrateful grifter.
If you posted less, it would save disk space and lower cost.
..as have most of us old-timers on both sides of this Primary.
I have zero respect for you, regardless of you political position.
Just saw Christie on Greta. He said he called Trump yesterday to tell him he would endorse and asked Trump when he wanted to announce it. Trump said asap, can you fly down to Texas? So he did last night and announced this morning. I presume Trump knew this was going to happen during the debate last night. He knew the whole time the announcement would overshadow anything in the debate.
That is hilarious! Are you a professional comedian?
No need for name calling. I understand that you are upset that the person you backed is losing, but that is no reason to be rude.
Christie and Trump, both saw first hand what Hurricane Sandy did to people and property. I seem to recall that a number of Republicans refused to support emergency payments of any size for the Sandy victims. Where did Rubio and Cruz stand on that issue?
That's rich from a moron that hasn't donated a single penny.
I more I read your post, the more I associate you with that Afluenza Kid.
More insults taking up disk space. Not cool.
Unfortunately, I need to head off to the rally thread for the next President of the United States. And your buddy Christie is on stage now!
