Bully Chris Christie endorses Donald Trump
Christie endorsed Donald Trump. In an impromptu news conference, a confident Donald Trump introduced Christie who had a very long statement of endorsement.
“There is no one who is better prepared to provide America with the strong leadership it needs than Donald Trump,” Governor Christie said. “He’ll provide strong unequivocal leadership and create jobs for this country.”
But there was a lot more.
“Trump is rewriting the playbook of American politics,” the governor said as he said that Trump would the candidate best prepared and ready to beat Hillary Clinton.
The New York times reported the following.
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 for president himself until he came in sixth place in New Hampshire’s primary. Seeing his political career facing an abrupt conclusion following his failed presidential campaign, he expressed his anger Friday at Senator Marco Rubio, who he was said to be upset with, blaming the “super PAC” backing the Florida senator for halting his momentum in New Hampshire with a string of slash-and-burn ads.
The endorsement came a day after Mr. Rubio, in a withering debate performance, turned his guns on Mr. Trump for the first time, and followed up with his attacks on Friday morning, calling Mr. Trump a “con artist.”
At Friday’s news conference announcing the endorsement, which was peppered with demeaning insults of Mr. Rubio by the two men, Mr. Christie repeatedly attacked Mr. Rubio, calling his behavior at the debate “desperate” and reflective of a “losing campaign.”
Mr. Trump welcomed the endorsement with warm praise for the New Jersey governor.
“He’s been my friend for many years, he’s been a spectacular governor,” said Mr. Trump, standing with Mr. Christie at a press conference in Fort Worth, Texas, for the endorsement.
