WASHINGTON (CNN) —Chris Christie says it's too soon to see whether Donald Trump's rise to the top of national Republican polls will last until votes are actually cast beginning in six months.

"Donald is going to be as serious as Donald wants to be. And he's going to determine through the depth of his answers and the seriousness of his answers whether he is a serious candidate or he isn't," Christie said in an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper aired Sunday on "State of the Union."

"Anybody can do well for a month in this business, especially if you have talent and personality, and Donald has both those things. Let's see how this goes over the course of time," he said.

Oh, the irony!

[JohnBrowdie]

apparently he can’t.

[nascarnation]

Interesting to me, he looked normal as a yout....

[LongWayHome]

Lol, you’re spot on. Perhaps Christie can go see his hero Springsteen for concert number 130, or whatever he claims to have sat through.

Mr. Donut has decided to cross a new bridge
which was not even in his path.

[PghBaldy]

Ain’t that the truth! Trump, for all his (liberalism...) faults, shows what rotten candidates we have in general.

[LongWayHome]

Always figured he was just massive....nervous eater ?

[miss marmelstein]

This boob hasn’t done well for more than five years...

[BigEdLB]

Christie’s analysis is a fair one. No ad hominem attacks like Perry, just an observation.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Christie’s month will come one of these years.

[dforest]

Not you donut hole.

[Alas Babylon!]

“Anybody can do well for a year.”

He went to boarding school at NY Military School, near West Point. I’m suprised his hair is that long.

5 Days before election..

The power of the image could not have been lost on a politician as savvy as Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey: With days to go before a cliffhanger election, a Democratic president was giving the handshake-back pat to his Republican opponent’s most aggressive campaigner as they prepared to embark on a tour of damage from a catastrophic storm.

It’s been a great working relationship,” Mr. Christie said.

“I cannot thank the president enough for his personal concern and compassion for our state,” he added during a brief news conference. He said it was “my honor” to turn the podium over to the president and then stood just behind him, occasionally nodding and smiling at his jokes.

For all the disruptions caused by Hurricane Sandy, the most unexpected may have been its unsettling effect on a presidential campaign winding into its final days. Perhaps nothing demonstrated the sudden upending of a political landscape years in the making so much as Mr. Christie’s unexpected and effusive praise of Mr. Obama.

The scene played out on televisions around the country like a stirring campaign ad that hit themes of bipartisanship and crisis management — only it was run free of charge.

And for those who missed it, Mr. Christie repeated his praise again and again in television interviews, saying the president had been “outstanding,” “incredibly supportive” and “deserves great credit.”

As pundits mused about the political implications for the presidential race, few of those watching, including campaign aides to the president and Mr. Romney, could do more than guess about the latest wild-card move from a wild-card governor.

Was he just a selfless leader making sure that he and his state had the ear of the man holding the federal purse strings? Or a selfish climber who figured he could run for president in 2016 if Mr. Romney were to lose this year?

It would not be the first time that Republicans have accused him of putting his own interests first: many criticized him after he delivered the keynote speech at the Republican National Convention, when it took him 15 minutes to mention Mr. Romney’s name.

It doesn’t look like Kristie missed very any courses of those huge meals.. wonder if his breakfasts are still a dozen, a pound of bacon and a a loaf of bread toasted dripping with butter.

[elpadre]

:..Anybody can do well for a month in this business...”

Really!! The do it for one month and prove the case.

[867V309]

Christie’s month will come one of these years.

I'll give you 10 to 1 odds on that :)
