Speaking to the New York Times, Christie, who was head of his state during the “BridgeGate” scandal, told the outlet that Trump is one of the “most unskilled politicians I’ve ever met.”
“I don’t think he’s ever gone up against somebody who knows how to do what he does. He’s never run against somebody from New Jersey who understands what the New York thing is and what he’s all about,” Christie said.
“For people like me, who’ve grown up here and lived my whole life in this atmosphere, he’s just one of a lot of people I know who have that personality. He knows I know what his game is,” Christie warned.
Christie’s tough guy persona, however, has not appeared to resonate with voters thus far. The latest Morning Consult survey, for instance, found Christie boasting the highest unfavorable rating among all the GOP candidates. Forty-six percent of Republican primary voters have an unfavorable view of the former governor. Further, he garners just two percent support, compared to Trump’s 57 percent in the crowded field.
That, however, has not stopped Christie and his criticisms.
“I think that he’ll show up at the debates because his ego won’t permit him not to,” Christie said of Trump’s participation in the Republican primary debates.
“He can’t have a big TV show that he’s not on,” the former governor said. “He’s on Truth Social going bonkers, and no one’s paying attention? He won’t deal well with that.”

“Why am I running for president of the United States? I’m running because [Trump’s] let us down. He has let us down because he’s unwilling — he’s unwilling to take responsibility for any of the mistakes that were made,” Christie said as some members of the crowd became audibly irritated, “any of the faults that he has, and any of the things that he’s done.”
“And that is not leadership, everybody. That is a failure of leadership,” he pressed on as the crowd booed him.

“He’s Never Run Against Somebody from New Jersey”
Didn’t this fat f*ck run against Trump in 2016 ?
He’s right. Trump ran against a NOBODY from NJ.
From the look of Christie, he’s never run on his entire life. The guy can barely walk.
Correct. I’m reading this, and it just shows Chris is deranged.
Absolutely pathetic.
“ Christie’s tough guy persona, however, has not appeared to resonate with voters thus far. ”
Aside from the Trumpists…I am pretty sure almost no one is paying attention.
But we will see. Trump won’t debate anyone this time around. But, it worked for Biden, so why not?
He sure did. It was so ineffective that Christie himself doesn't even remember it.
From wikipedia (because I don't remember it either):
The 2016 presidential campaign of Chris Christie, the 55th Governor of New Jersey, began on June 30, 2015, at an event in his hometown of Livingston, New Jersey.[2] Following a poor showing in the New Hampshire primary, the campaign was suspended on February 10, 2016.[3][4][5][6] He endorsed Donald Trump on February 26, 2016.[7]
Mouth in overdrive, brain still in neutral…
Christie is a fart
This idiot doesn't realize that Trump IS the show.
If Trump doesn't take part in the debate then there is no debate. Just 3 or 4 rinos standing on a stage. And what will they be doing? Talking about Trump!
Ask yourself if Chris Christie or any of these other sure-losers are running for YOUR benefit.
The answer is no.
Theee people run so they can get campaign donations which they will convert to personal income when they lose.
It’s narcissism, greed, and personal gain.
That’s it.
All this infantile name calling. We are a couple of election cycles away from placing all the candidates in steel cage and letting them fight it out for the nomination. Now entering the octagon…
“Didn’t this fat f*ck run against Trump in 2016 ?”
Why, yes. Yes, he did.
Doesn’t Christie know there’s no room for bluster, hyperbole, and factual inaccuracies in this election?
CC: Case closed.
“I don’t think he’s ever gone up against somebody who knows how to do what he does”
So fatso is “mocking” Trump by stating he is like Trump? He has Trumps abilities to deal with people? Nice own Chris
