New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says GOP front-runner Donald Trump must decide "how serious a candidate he wants to be," after failing to correct a questioner who said President Obama was a Muslim and not a U.S. citizen.
"I wouldn't have permitted that," Christie responded when asked how he would have handled the same situation. "I would correct him. I'd say that the president's a Christian and he was born in this country. Those two things are self-evident."
Thursday night in New Hampshire, in front of about 3,000 fans, the first questioner told Trump, "We have a problem in this country. It's called Muslims. We know our current president is one. You know he's not even an American. We have training camps growing when they want to kill us. My question: When can we get rid of them?"
Trump, an early questioner of the president's citizenship, did not correct the man.

He would not have been allowed at the table with Jefferson, Adams & Franklin, at the key moment in 1776.
He seems to have too much of the officious jerk to be elected President; and would have drawn scorn in that summer in Philadelphia.
We know for a fact Obama was raised by muzzies..
And now claims to be a Christian.
So what it the penalty for leaving Islam?
That is enough for me never to vote for christie.
If he was in Islamic hands without a guard he would either get a high five or his head cut off.
I think they perceive him as an enemy IMO.
Exactly
He's either stupid, trying to get recognition or weighing in with the propagandists setting the narrative.
The socialists have you on a leash, big dog. Go back on the porch.
Christie makes a point of embarrassing trump responding to questions. As rude as can be ostensibly for the voters ‘let’s turn the cameras around. I’m so virtuous’
Then he plays to the media first thing
Trump will not play to the media. As soon as he would it’s where he will have peaked
It’s that our candidates play to the media where we despise them. We know the media will turn on any of our nominees That they don’t know it makes us despise them. Plus the media does not like America.
From the politician’s playbook: When no one is paying attention to you, comment on those getting attention.
I think O should tell Columbia, Harvard, etc to release all his records there, so we can see if he ever claimed to be a citizen of Indonesia or Kenya. If he said he was a US citizen on all of them, that would back up his claim to being a citizen. It’s an easy thing to do, but he hasn’t. Why? Of course, neither the media nor the GOPe have ever demanded that he release that paperwork.
“Demanded?” What was I thinking? They have never even suggested it!
Fat boy cannot correct anyone since his draw is about 3 people.
christe eats donuts and obama and can't decide which one he likes better.
As much as he’d like to, I don’t think The Donald wants to directly address that right now. His hands are full with all these little whiny bitches in the press. That is unless he is letting these little bombshells out to avoid developing a detailed platform. I can’t see Trump developing a highly detailed platform which may be good or bad.
He understands as well as anyone all bets will be off when the filthy closets are emptied in the White House in January 2017.
Anyone who subscribes to the arrogant theory that we should correct & insult anyone who offers a theory we do not agree with, has accepted the insanity that Trump has denounced; i.e. "political correctness."
Hans Christian Andersen explained the insanity of that mindset in The Emperor's New Clothes, in the 19th Century.
Everyone, who still understands actual respect for others, as opposed to pretended "correctness," will see the lunacy in attacking Donald Trump for not acting like an Anderson Cooper, Hillary Clinton, Barrack Obama, or any of the other crack-pots stifling legitimate discussion in America.
How does Christie know this?
First Chrissy, the term Christian must be defined relevant to the Bible..
actually I am loving that it is making this all a controvery AGAIN
Everyone will be asked about it over and over... except for Obama
Give him another dozen donuts please!
Fat boi slips the tongue to Odumbo again ...
“Self evident”??
To who?
