But Trump and Christie are conspiring to steal these delegates votes on the second ballot! That’s cheating!

All the Trump fans who complain about the establishment at every turn are OK with Christie acting as strong man/party boss and delivering all of the delegates to Trump?

Where are your principles?

Christie wants AG, that’s why he attacked Rubio in the last debate he was in.

FYI

Christie was once Ann Coulter’s favorite. He talked tough to New Jersey's state workers wanting more.

He seemed a blubbering mess after a Hurricane Sandy. The puppy dog turned to his master Obama for love and help. Wasn't he against Trump before he was for him?

Christie strikes me as a party apparatchik. He believes in power only. He will use it when he has it, and suck up to anyone with more.

Sounds like Trump is using his establishment connections to override the votes of the people. Sad!

Just like he did in Colorado!

Oh, wait.

Where's Krispy been, did Whining Trump hurt his wittle feelings?

Found this:

Three Reasons Why You Haven't Seen Christie Standing Behind Trump Recently

1) The official answer from Christie allies is that he's busy.

2) Endorsing Trump has damaged the governor's reputation.

3) Christie can't help Trump in New York — it's all about New Jersey.

Christie tried sucking up to Trump and got the back of Trump’s hand for his troubles. I think he’ll go Trump or Cruz or Kasich or another candidate, depending on which one he thinks will give him the best deal in return.

I think he was angling for higher than that. But if it's attorney general then any one of the candidates would give Christie that, so Trump has no advantage in that area.

He had the advantage at the time, and now, of being the one likely to win.

Krispy’s persona reminds me of the character Chuck Rhodes in Billions.

If Trump goes into the convention with enough votes to win on the first ballot they Christie will fall into line. If it's a brokered convention then Christie will go with the winner whoever that is. Trump had the chance to lock in his loyalty but he didn't take it.

His girth aside, “The Hostage” doesn’t carry much weight with conservatives nationwide.

If Trump loses the nomination then the story of his whole campaign is going to be one of missed opportunities. I know Trump is loyal to Lewandowski but I think that he's in way over his head. Trump is bringing in the pros at last but if could be too late. Should have had them in from the start.

I said several posts back he’s 3 months late.

How did this get past him? Did people ask him for another 10m for the ground game and he said no?

We’ll never know.

I’m voting in NY and looking forward to voting for him, but looking back, all his stupid bragging about spending the least and winning big, sounds like immature bluster.

Punching above his weight? Is that even possible?

Maybe you should contact this guy. Asking how the family is in a threatening email, when you have young kids, is a sure way to win friends and influence people. Something tells me Roger Stone is playing a much bigger role in Trump's campaign than he wants us to believe. I think they refer to guys like him as Consigliere, or is it Capo?

Trump's long association with organized crime appears to be bringing him benefits.

Tip the nomination? I doubt he has enough pull.

SMH...

Dana Loesch said something the other day that this reminds me of. She said that chivalry is a conservative principle.

To threaten a guy's wife and family over politics is beneath contempt. It's something that's only worthy of brown shirts and other Liberals.
