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."

Thank you
an endorsement Mr. Trump surely didn’t need
Interesting question.
BTTT!
If you want respect, then give respect, even when disagreeing with fellow members.
Don't be a putz and donate for the privilege of being a member of FreeRepublic.
At this moment, I think you are a fee-loading, obnoxious little punk.
I disagree with lots of Trump supporters, but I reserve my scorn solely for you.
Check this one out, if you put your cursor over the signers face it tells you the name...pretty cool stuff!
I don’t understand your question. Kindly rephrase.
Re: “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.”
What you are not getting, it seems, is that an endorsement by Christy is pretty much like an endorsement by Jeb Bush to Tea Party Conservatives. Both are major RINOs. I thought Christy was part of the problem, part of the GOPe - right?
My name is D1, and I did not approve of this message.
LoL
Gotta wonder if Trump and Christie waited to make this announcement for a day such as this, when rubio finally opened his attacks on Trump.
If so, it’s completely Pattonesque.
Oh crap, I forgot the link yeesh, time for a break:

If you've seen my posts, I am Cruz/Trump.
This more than answers the question I posed in reply #70.
It may explain why Trump wasn’t as thrown by the debate attacks last night. He had the Christie card up his sleeve, waiting to unleash it when the time was right.
I’ve done that. It’s fun to laugh at yourself. I should know...
“put your cursor over it”
Hey that sounds dirty!
Hey, that was very nice. Thanks.
This is a candid shot like a frame from a video. We don’t know what subject was being discussed and what kind of facial body language was appropriate for the moment of the photo.
So, the answer has to be, we have insufficient information to make a judgement on Christie’s mental state.
I hope I complicated that enough for you. I didn’t just want to say, “It’s you!” ;^)
Watch it!
LoL
re: “What upsets me is free-loading election-year trolls who are sore winners. If you’ve seen my posts, I am Cruz/Trump.”
I get what you are saying and agree with you. Cruz is also my first choice. The only way I see a Christy endorsement as helpful is that Trump seems to be reaching out to the Rino side of the aisle. That troubles me.
You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
