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.”

There’s a lot of things he could topple.
He wobbles, but he don’t fall down.
When he does fall down, it measures 6 on the Richter Scale.
He can topple Trump alright — if he bumps into him.
Sure,you magnificent fat bastard.
Why does he think he is a relevant player in this game? He’s a buffoon.
Hell I believe him. Get some momentum going and he could topple the Kansas City Chiefs offensive line.
That sausage eating slob doesn’t have a shot. He’s better off transitioning and running as the Fat Lady in the Democrat Party.
LOL!!!!!! The only thing Krispy kreme could topple is a cheese Danish.
If he does start losing weight, you’ll know he’s running.
That slob needs to shut his pie hole and check in to a nice nursing home without any stairs.
He could topple the Empire State Building....................
😜👍....................
Topple? 😂 The lard ass lacks command of the American language. He might be a itty bit more convincing if he said “steamroll”. At least that would be funny.
Possibly. If you rolled him down a big enough hill and caught PDJT by surprise.
I’m mildly surprised by this. I thought Christie was now content to play the Token Conservative on CNN type shows.
If Christie actually declares that he is running, he’ll be required to quit those Talking Head guest spots.
Mike Huckabee went through it years ago with Fox.
Keep dreaming pal.
I saw Rubio, Christie and Cruz at the GA state convention in 2015. Christie was the best speaker by far, and tailored his message for a GA audience. Rubio gave tge standard stump speech. Cruz had his moments, but nothing special. John Ellis Bush’ people manned a table, and appeared to be there for the paycheck.
