Gov. Chris Christie has finally taken the gloves off when it comes to Republican presidential rival Donald Trump, attacking the GOP frontrunner's quick-fix solutions on immigration as something that "hurts the credibility of the Presidency" and saying that Trump's views on entitlement reform ignore the facts.
In announcing his candidacy for president last month, Trump said he would "build a great wall" along the entire U.S.-Mexico border to stem illegal immigration, boasting that "nobody builds walls better than me, believe me."

Speaking with CNBC in a Keene, N.H., diner on Tuesday, Christie derided Trump's "great line" about having the U.S.'s southern neighbor pay for the wall, saying it belied a lack of understanding of the complexity of the issue.

Instead, Trump advocated growing the U.S. economy to help shore up the ailing trust fund.
"The math doesn't support Donald's position," Christie said in his CNBC interview. "It's not just about growth. You still have to deal with the facts."

All over America this morning there were irrepressible spontaneous demonstrations when lard-loving Americans marched out of factories and offices and paraded through the streets with banners voicing their gratitude to Governor Krispy for the new, happy life which his wise leadership has bestowed upon us. Here are some of the completed figures. Lard-'

Obama’s illegal EO’s, without challenge from the GOP leadership fools, did the Presidency in. That all happened way before Trump dared speak about the open border and it’s harm to Americans.

He didn’t say that when he wrapped his chunky arms around Obama in 2012.
A guy that would do that has no credibility.

Dear Mr. Christie, in case you haven’t checked back to find out any earth news recently,
there is no ‘credibility of the presidency’ left after the last 6.5 years of lies, deceit, and sabotage

I have to believe that #41 represents his weight in English Stone. Even at that I think they are off by a couple dozen light.
