Christie tells Fallon he might 'go nuclear' in next Debate

Chris Christie says he's thinking of taking a more aggressive approach during the next Republican presidential primary debate.

During an appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" Monday night, the New Jersey governor and presidential candidate told Fallon that he's considering going "nuclear" if he's relegated to the sidelines during the next GOP face-off, which will be moderated by CNN later this month.

Christie's return to late-night TV comes as he's been struggling to gain momentum in the crowded Republican field in the summer polls. During the interview, Fallon, who often jokes about Christie during his monologue, pressed the famously brash governor, suggesting that he's been overshadowed by billionaire businessman and Republican front-runner Donald Trump.

Christie had several notable clashes with his opponents during the Fox News debate and his performance was generally well-reviewed, but Trump nonetheless dominated coverage of the event. Christie said he went 20 questions without being asked a question.

"Stay tuned on Sept. 16th," Christie told Fallon, "We may be changing tactics. You know, if I get to like 15 questions in a row -— count 'em at home — if I get to 15 in a row (where he's not called on), you're going to go 'Uh oh, he's going to go nuclear now.'"

"That's what I'm talking about!" Fallon said. "That's what we want to see!"
