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.”

Yeah, ok, as he did in 2016. Or until February anyway when he dropped out.
All I need to know about Chris Christie is the Marine Corps guy that NJ put through hell when he got pulled over driving through the state and he had his own 45 in the car.
Chris Chrissy didn’t do crap for our veteran
What a jerk Christie is - hasn’t a clue how unpopuliar he is. ...as been said...Chris Cristie is as much a democrat as any Rino can be!
Weebles wobble but they don’t fall down....
You have to be a child of the 70s to remember that.
Only thing he is toppling is a big bowl of ice cream.
Those bottom two were talented. The top two are talentless dorks.
The island of Guam, maybe?
Donald Trump ... not so much.
Christie will be using his lower center of gravity, right?
Putting the Cray in Cray Cray Delusional.
He believes in control of public education at a state level instead at the local level, while at the same time no comment on federalized public education programs. He erred in pushing for all state control.
He is a lobbyist with his own interest in “Christie 55 Solutions.” Huge conflict of interest.
He seems to be very lazy per his appearance and that means a lack of self control. He has an ongoing food addiction which needs to be addressed.
He continues to insist January 6 was solely caused by Donald Trump and perpetuates the myth to protect his establishment buddies.
He did not do his due diligence and support a sitting President of his own party, but in turn undermined the voters who put him there.
Those are five.
Repugnant, conceited swine he is.
Weebles is precisely what leapt to mind. LOL.
With his political leanings, Christie should drop the facade and challenge Biden in the primaries.
So, you’re taking his potential candidacy seriously?
Once these guys get the presidential vision in their heads, it never totally leaves them. Sort of a fixed delusion, you might say, when total also-rans see themselves as presidential material.
Maybe if they got on opposite ends of a see saw. After all, Christie is a man of considerable intellectual heft.
Some of the failed candidates get Harold Stassen Fever.
Stassen ran unsuccessfully for nine different times between
1944 and 1992.
Additional delusion comes with every donut...
He did lose some weight after having surgery:
NJ Gov. Chris Christie underwent secret stomach surgery in February to lose weight
Geoff Mulvihill, The Associated Press

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who has both joked about his weight and said that it’s a real concern, secretly underwent a weight-loss surgery in February that experts say could help him if he gets exercise and watches what he eats.
The father of four agreed to the surgery, in which a band was placed around his stomach to restrict the amount of food he can eat, after turning 50 in September, spokesman Michael Drewniak confirmed to The Associated Press on Tuesday. Christie told The New York Post, which first reported the surgery, that he said he wasn’t motivated by thoughts of running for president.
“I’ve struggled with this issue for 20 years,” he told the newspaper. “For me, this is about turning 50 and looking at my children and wanting to be there for them.”
