Kinzinger: Trump Is ‘Scared to Death of Chris Christie'
2023-08-22
“Pay attention to MEEEE!!!”
[Breitbart] Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), now a CNN contributor, said Monday on CNN’s "The Situation Room" that former President Donald Trump was "scared to death" to debate his Republican primary rival, former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ).

Kinzinger said, "If he was the incumbent running for reelection— you know if this was 2020, like I get that, but he lost. He lost for the Republicans, the presidency. The Republicans have done nothing but lose since Donald Trump, and so I think if he’s going to ask for their vote he needs to come in front of them again and explain why this time, instead of being a loser, he’ll be a winner. But he’s not going to do it."
Adam would know about being a loser
He continued, "I’m sure, you know, some political consultants — and they may be right from a textbook perspective — would say, you know, ’Don’t go to the debate, there’s no benefit in it,’ but honest to goodness, Wolf, Donald Trump is a coward. He’s scared to death of Chris Christie because I think Chris Christie is going to wipe the floor with him and I think that’s what he’s afraid of."

Kinzinger added, "So what will be interesting in this debate is watching everybody kind of try to show their bona fides and pretend like they’re tough by attacking everybody else on that stage and staying quiet, with a few exceptions, on Donald Trump. So I guess from his perspective, he can sit back and watch them all tear each other up, but I think Chris Christie’s going to really kind of bring the show and point out the cowardice of Donald Trump."

#14  I guess that idiot Jonah Goldberg actually wrote a column saying that small doners are what's wrong with the GOP.

#12  GOPe was going to implode anyway, Trump just hastened it. Like old time Reds hating Reagan for precipitating the collapse of the USSR, the NRO "conservatives" will never forgive Trump for flushing their punch bowl.

#11  They really should never have legalized the stuff. No one put up by the GOPe can be elected as the population that seriously backs Trump will view it as nothing less than another round of Unity Party choices.

#10  Christie is undoubtedly funded as a wrecking ball, and frankly, needs the work. Campaign funded never-ending buffet can be a huge draw, and who knows, maybe there is a Golden Corral Directorship in the mix!

#8  If Christie is intellectually lazy, I hate to think of how his donors rate on that scale.

#7  Chris Christie is intellectually and physically lazy. On the soccer field, he’s the unathletic kid that they are trying to hide on the back line that you can exploit.
Intellectually, he has adopted positions based on donors that aren’t thought through or defensible. In the debate, Christie will get exposed and lose his temper. Vivek will be the one who triggers him, most likely, or Haley might. I don’t think it will be any of the other donor sandwich board guys.

#6  Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), now a CNN contributor,... Yep, 100% credibility there. One of the 10 who voted to impeach Trump and then was smart enough, barely, to 'not seek re-election'. Yep, totally unbiased source there ...a RINO's RINO.

#5  Yah, Mike Pence and Bill Bar turned out so well....

I think anyone who's made up of calories is scared of Chris Christie.
