Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie boasted to an audience in New Hampshire this week that unlike other potential 2024 presidential candidates, he is not afraid of standing up to ex-President Donald Trump.
Christie, speaking at St Anselm College in Goffstown on Monday, burnished his credentials for opposing Trump by referring to his exchange with Sen. Marco Rubio during a presidential debate in February 2016, when he assailed the Florida Republican as an inexperienced politician.
When Rubio stumbled over an answer and repeated himself twice, Christie said sarcastically, “There it is — the memorized 25-second speech.”
Christie, who ended up dropping out of the 2016 race a week after the debate and endorsing Trump, told the college crowd, “You better have somebody on that stage who can do to [Trump] what I did to Marco, because that’s the only thing that’s going to defeat Donald Trump.
“And that means you have to be fearless, because he will come back and right at you.”

Narcissism - it’s the most common affliction of politicians in the United States at this level.
In the 2016 GOP primaries, Christie came in 10th out of 12 in Iowa, then 6th out of 9 in New Hampshire. Then he quit the race and endorsed Trump.
he thinks he is the only politician that can stand toe to toe with Trump and throw insults right back at him. It’s as simple as that.
I have been to many Pa Leadership conferences, and the best speaker is ALWAYS Rick Santorum whenever he appears. Several patrons with arms folded and noses turned upward when he approaches the stage are standing and applauding when he leaves.

His moment of glory...his biggest accomplishment was apparently getting off a one liner about Marco Rubio.
DeSantis has actually done a fairly credible job as governor of Florida. Does anyone in New Jersey want the Michelin Man back?
