Rubio placed a condescending call to ask for the governor’s backing after Christie dropped out of the presidential race.

The message infuriated Christie...

The logical step for Christie, given his stated principles, was to support Rubio but a personal attack led him to throw his weight behind Trump (no pun intended). If it becomes apparent after Tuesday that Cruz cannot win the nom the logical thing, given his stances would be to back Trump and allow him to wrap up the nomination.. I wonder if he can do that given the nasty and personal nature of Trump’s attacks.

The statement quoted was nothing more than an inoperable sewer line which was dug up due to needed repair. Persons read into it whatever they wished to read. Those that saw brush off immediately thought they had in their hands a hammer and had found the nail. Just two dudes saying so long, see ya soon. Please how ignorant can some be to consider that a Syonara. To view something even more believable try the picture of BO’B giving the finger to America. That pretty much says it all in language most can understand.

“f Bloomberg enters the race....his gameplan will involve winning heavily in both New Jersey and New York....to subtract from Trump’s potential. With Christie in the background...Bloomberg will be meeting major-league action and loosing on the news media front of New York and New Jersey.”

I disagree. Bloomberg will take from Hillary in the NYC area, not Trump.

That said, Kristy Kreme on the Donald’s side doesn’t hurt him at all in that part of the country.

Marco and Sanders are OUT - zero chance of winning. The media keeps a focus on them for entertainment value only.

If you read the posted article the other day. It said that Cristie had been with Trump for a day or so and was tired so Trump told him to go home now-the plane’s over there.
Trump was doing a kindness, recognizing the big guy was whipped and it was ok to go home then.
Unlike the clipped sound bite implied.
Kinda like Sarah was alleged to say she could see Russia out her window.

I guess we will all found out eventually.

Christie spent months saying Trump would be a catastrophe as president. Now he is supporting him.

Are you the one who believes Christie wasn’t promised something?

David Duke as the next ambassador to Nigeria?
