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.

I’m sorry, but...this gives me grounds to reconsider and give Ted Cruz another look-see.


That’s a great idea given that Cruz is now shacking up with Marco Amnestio. Birds of a feather, flock together.

If you have noticed, I haven’t said a word either way about his endorsement today.

Endorsements mean nothing to me, I am not a follower.

Glenn Beck - nut job, doesn’t that make Cruz a nut job too? You people are pathetic. Anyone who endorses Trump is trashed on here and anyone who endorses Cruz is heralded. What a bunch of little kids you all are.

“Trump has a say who endorses him? Too funny.”

Trump is standing next to Christie in the photo-op, is he not? Or is this just another case like that of Christie himself lending his presence to Obama for a photo-op? Of course, that too implied nothing, right? What were you saying about Christie at that time? Too funny.

Who cares? The so-called 'conservatives' have nobody but an ineligible candidate born to a foreign father in a foreign land. The establishment has an ineligible 'anchor baby' born to Cuban nationals.

Trump is a natural born Citizen of the United States of America. Protect and Defend the Constitution!

AMEN!

“Wants VP consideration?”

Attorney general would be more like it. I think Newt would be a better fit for VP for a number of reasons.

WOW.... this was not expected. Although I was not a fan of Christy, I love that he took down the establishment darling Robio and showing that he was just a talking point machine. That alone merits the AG spot in his administration.

If he names Christie as his VP, yeah, probably. For my part, I could hold my nose long enough to vote for Trump this fall, but if he blows the VP pick on a mega RINO like Christie, that would probably be the last straw for me.

This is a fantastic endorsement!! My mother just called my uncle in South Carolina, (we live in North Carolina) so we are super excited! Chris Christie is well-liked in my family, we love how he goes after the liberals. By the way, the press conference was great. :-)

GO TRUMP!!!

He says he want to build a wall and deport people but yet says they can come right back in. What is the point then?

Kind of like how the republicans in the last two elections stated if we voted for them, they'd repeal Obamacare.

The kicker was last December when they gave everything to Obama and Planned Parenthood.

However Cruz did not endorse Rubio, he just said he would be better than Trump. I agree with that.

Basically, you're saying that status quo would be better than Trump....and status quo means nothing will change with the direction of our Country.

Respectfully disagree.

Yep, that’s what I’m thinking too. I think Christie would be an excellent AG.

No biggie(except for the size of Gov ObamaHugger). If anything the Guv is an opportunist and this my friends is opportunity.

I think this is a pretty big deal actually. Gingrich said a couple weeks ago that one of the things that impresses him about Trump is how quick a learner he is, and how he is on a trajectory of absorption that would benefit him on Super Tuesday. Here it is, Trump had this endorsement in his pocket, and waited until the perfect moment.

Exactly....had it for a while and then JUST before the big weekend and after a debate where Cruz and Rubio are patting themselves on their backs...BOOM!

Do you really need to ask? Same thing they’d say if Sarah endorsed Cruz.

Yep, she would be the queen around here again.

I mentioned some time ago, we should have a "Fickle FReeper Award" we have a lot of contestant here.

He won’t name that pick until he has the nomination. So that means you’d have to do like some of us and not vote at all in the general.
