A cynic might say this was a rare example of a rat jumping onto a sinking ship.
When Chris Christie cast his lot with Donald Trump, he made the biggest mistake of his political career. Or so say many of my Republican friends and just about all of my Democratic friends.
The theory is that Trump will either be kept from the nomination by a coterie of party insiders - or that if he wins the nomination he will go down to defeat at the hands of Hillary Clinton.
I beg to differ on both counts.
The leaders of the Republican Party are so out of touch with reality that they honestly believed the electorate wanted to see a third Bush presidency.
Once disabused of that notion, many expressed the hope that Mitt Romney would ride to the rescue by offering himself up as a candidate in a hung convention.
That's where Christie comes in. Someone has to break it to this crowd that if Trump keeps piling up delegates the way he did on Super Tuesday, then they can't try any funny business. A Romney-Ryan ticket is an idea whose time has come – and gone.

They let the bull into the china shop and he ain’t leaving. The only way to get him out is by taking out the GOP with him.
Absolutely. They might be trying to make fun of Christie, but the President normally chooses the next RNC chairman and has a LOT of power over the party. In Trump’s case? Hard to say what happens. But Christie will end up stronger after this unless Trump somehow loses.
It’s inyeresting that the “purestists” who stayed home are now gleeful at Mitts attack on Trump.
They fail to see that Mitt is a very liberal republican, worse then a RINO.
It the GOPe screws with Trump, and mske no mistake Mitts attack was supported by them, this GOe is finished.
Godwin’s law strikes again.
