Chris Christie Mocks Trump: ‘He’s Never Run Against Somebody from New Jersey’
Breitbart ^ | 6 Jul 2023 | HANNAH BLEAU

Posted on 07/07/2023 11:47:35 AM PDT by SoConPubbie

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie believes he is the man to match former President Donald Trump in the Republican primary field, asserting that the former president has “never run against somebody from New Jersey who understands what the New York thing is” and declaring that Trump “knows” that Christie is aware of “what his game is.”

Speaking to the New York Times, Christie, who was head of his state during the “BridgeGate” scandal, told the outlet that Trump is one of the “most unskilled politicians I’ve ever met.”

“I don’t think he’s ever gone up against somebody who knows how to do what he does. He’s never run against somebody from New Jersey who understands what the New York thing is and what he’s all about,” Christie said.

“For people like me, who’ve grown up here and lived my whole life in this atmosphere, he’s just one of a lot of people I know who have that personality. He knows I know what his game is,” Christie warned.

Christie’s tough guy persona, however, has not appeared to resonate with voters thus far. The latest Morning Consult survey, for instance, found Christie boasting the highest unfavorable rating among all the GOP candidates. Forty-six percent of Republican primary voters have an unfavorable view of the former governor. Further, he garners just two percent support, compared to Trump’s 57 percent in the crowded field.

That, however, has not stopped Christie and his criticisms.

“I think that he’ll show up at the debates because his ego won’t permit him not to,” Christie said of Trump’s participation in the Republican primary debates.

“He can’t have a big TV show that he’s not on,” the former governor said. “He’s on Truth Social going bonkers, and no one’s paying attention? He won’t deal well with that.”

"He needs to run, not for president, he just needs to run."

I think Roger Stone said this about Christie. 🤣

Christie is not running for president. He's waddling for president.

As a wise person once told me … “Nobody from New Jersey — and who looks like he’s from New Jersey — will win any states west of the Delaware River.”

We are a couple of election cycles away from placing all the candidates in steel cage and letting them fight it out for the nomination. Now entering the octagon…

And the winner is..... Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho

Doesn’t Christie know there’s no room for bluster, hyperbole, and factual inaccuracies in this election?

 

But what about Bravado? Surely there is room for Bravado.

As I’ve said. How can you trust a man to control your country when he can’t even control his own appetite.
