Chris Christie Endorses Donald Trump
The New York Times ^ | February 25, 2016 | Staff

Posted on 02/26/2016 9:50:55 AM PST by abb

Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey endorsed Donald J. Trump on Friday, a major turn in a wild race and one that gives the New York businessman a major boost as he heads into the pivotal Super Tuesday contests.

Mr. Christie was a candidate himself until he came in sixth place in New Hampshire’s primary. But his backing of Mr. Trump comes after weeks of him saying that it was time for the “entertainment” portion of the race to end, and as he had said that the type of executive leadership that a governor has is important.

He may get crossover votes in upstate New York, as well as Republicans. I’m talking to lots of upstate New Yorkers who really love Trump. Of course, he’ll never get Manhattan.

Never forgave him for his bromance with Obama. I am not voting for Trump anyway so this has no meaning to me but maybe it will help

I don't know about "Trumpers", but I've always liked CC's style.

I like his style too. He's no nonsense tell it like it is and take no crap.

I just wish he was much more conservative though.

This is interesting. I would have expected him to support Rubio, but I think that’s because all the MSM is chanting Rubio-Rubio-Rubio louder and louder.

It’s as though someone told CNN and Fox and the rest to promote Marco!

Let’s see what ripples the Christie endorsement makes in our pond!

Agree. And if Christie can turn NJ for Trump, and by extension, the Tri-Stae area, it would be...well, you know.

I could see Christie in any number of cabinet posts. AG would be good. But not VP.

I live in NY also. NYC is not Long Island nor Upstate New York. Hell, even in NYC you will see strong Trump showings in Staten Island, Queens, parts of Manhattan, etc.

AG

Please AG

Christie as AG would indict his own family if he had evidence of illegal activity. Although a bit socially liberal in thinking, he's a killer prosecutor.

Two liberal blowhards.

Actually I do like CC’s style too. I just wish his policies were more aligned with Cruz.

Trump style I do not like at all though. He just yells at people when he can’t respond to a question. CC has a full grasp of the issues and can speak to them—I may not like his position but he understands the issues.

Trump is the only one not in the pocket of the elites, huh? Too funny.

Christy is an elite? Too funny.

Trump has a say who endorses him? Too funny

Care to explain how this puts Trump in Christy's pocket?
