Christie endorses Trump for Pub nomination

[Guardian] Chris Christie on Friday became the first governor to endorse Donald Trump, giving the Republican frontrunner a shot in the arm after a disappointing debate performance on Thursday night.

The New Jersey governor told reporters in Fort Worth, Texas: "I will lend my support in every way between now and November for Donald to help in everything he needs."

Christie dropped out of the Republican primary earlier in February after a disappointing sixth-place finish in New Hampshire. He was long an establishment favorite and was considered an early frontrunner for the nomination, but his campaign never recovered from the damage caused by the "Bridgegate" scandal over the closure of lanes to the George Washington Bridge between New York and New Jersey, allegedly for political reasons.

Christie praised Trump for "leaving the private sector and seeing the need for strong leadership in this country".

#1 Now if we could get Bridget Anne Kelly, Christie's fired deputy chief of staff (Roads & Bridges Queen) to be hired as the DNC chief of logistics.

#2 Someone smells the source of serious potential future monetary flows. Both are opportunists not ideologues.

Jokes aside, unless Trump wins the presidency Cris Cristy's political carreer (as a republican) is over.

Bernie Sanders may be right that the American people are sick and tired of hearing about Hillary Clinton's scandals. I think the same is true about Chris Christy. But that does not mean by any measure that we have forgotten or forgiven either one of them.

If Trump looses the nomination/election I will be waiting for both Trump and Christy to announce that have left the Republican Party and officially joined the Democrats. (Where in my opinion they have both always belonged anyway.)

#4 I don't think Trump will lose either the Nomination or General. The US just isn't intellectually interested in politics the way it used to be.

#5 Loud-mouthed liberal Yankees...that is just what we need...the whole lot of 'em. Trump, Christie, Hillary and Bernie.

If those are my choices...I will stay at home in November. The Trump followers have no idea the level of hatred toward him that he has cultivated in the true conservative movement. He will rightly own that hatred in November. Vanity and arrogance are fatal sins.

We NEED a war president and this set of quislings and circus clowns are what the masses want... Blood will be on their hands.

#6 Trump will win the nomination.
* The Trump University scandal will hit in early summer. He'll settle out of court to make that go away but we'll hear about it all summer.
* He'll crush Hillary because she's the only politician more unlikeable than Trump and folks know the economy needs to be fixed and Foreign policy is in tatters despite what Democrats are saying.
* Republicans and Democrats in the Congress will take their job seriously when it comes to the Constitution and balancing the power of the executive branch.
* Trump will back off in the middle east and let Russia do what they want. I don't really know how that plays out.
* Trump will start a trade war with China over currency manipulation. Chinese economy plumes and takes the world economy with it. I don't know how that plays out but it doesn't sound good.
* Republicans seriously challenge Trump in the primaries but I think the Democrats win in 2020.
