NOW THAT’S “YUGE!”
New Jersey governor Chris Christie – one of the establishment “Republican” candidates whose presidential prospects were consumed by the Donald Trump juggernaut – has endorsed the GOP frontrunner’s candidacy.
“Donald is a leader,” Christie said. “He is a successful person (who), like me, isn’t afraid to tell it like it is. Our system is broken and it won’t be fixed from the inside. I am proud to offer my endorsement of his candidacy for President.”
Trump said he and Christie “have had a wonderful relationship for many years” and that he was “proud to receive the support of the Governor and his family.”
In addition to supporting Trump, Christie also ripped the GOP establishment’s choice for the “Republican” presidential nomination – calling U.S. Senator Marco Rubio “desperate” and running a “losing campaign.”
He also mocked Rubio for wearing “a pile of makeup” during televised debates.
In the early days of the 2016 campaign, Christie – in his second-term as governor of New Jersey – was considered a favorite to win the GOP nod. But then “Bridge-gate” happened. That scandal involved lanes on the George Washington Bridge – which were closed in a deliberate attempt to create traffic jams in Fort Lee, New Jersey (home of a mayor who failed to support Christie’s 2013 reelection bid).
In the aftermath of the petty political drama, dominos fell. Hard. Some of them reached all the way to the Palmetto State.
The scandal changed the complexion of the race …
On Christmas Eve of 2013, Christie led U.S. Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky in the GOP presidential race – drawing 20 percent support to Paul’s 14.4 percent. Three months later, Christie’s support had been cut in half – and it never eclipsed the 12 percent mark in national polling the rest of the way, according to aggregate data compiled by RealClearPolitics.
After Christie, Jeb Bush and Scott Walker inherited the frontrunner roles – but their establishment campaigns were swallowed up by Trump’s populist, anti-establishment insurgency, which began its meteoric ascent in early June 2015.
This website has been harshly critical of Christie – who campaigned in South Carolina on behalf of liberal U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham and repeatedly buttered up the state’s status quo governor, Nikki Haley.
But there’s no denying his decision to endorse Trump is a major unexpected crack in the establishment’s armor – especially given his willingness to go after Rubio.

During the presser I found it amusing that the Trump the king of comb overs was commenting on Rubio’s use of makeup before the Debate.
Rubio really yanked Trump’s chain. Donald is going overboard on insults today. Rubio hit him pretty good today at his rally too. Mocked Donald’s nutty tweets from last night and detailed Trump’s backstage meltdown too.
Just a little and you knew what was going to happen today.
I always figured when the time comes I will just let my back hair grow out and comb it up and over.
Go for it.
I just wish the hair in my ears and nose would grow on the top of my head. :)
That’s why Christie never went after Donald during the debates. He knew it was over for him, so he is jockeying for VP or AG in a possible Trump administration.
Krispy Kreme stock is on track to close at all time high in anticipation of Christie becoming VPOTUS
FUPA for VP!
I had to Google that you sick puppy.
I hope you did a google image search.
:)
Yes, where do I send my Jason’s Deli receipt for reimbursement?

Be brave Shifty one.
Don’t believe his lies!
lulz
I googled it …. yuk!
FUPA
TBG had (mercifully) forgotten the meaning….
um…thanks…
That’s weird. Christie has had all kinds of bad stuff to say about Trump…until today.
http://www.rawstory.com/2016/02/here-are-5-times-chris-christie-destroyed-ridiculous-donald-trump-before-he-endorsed-him/
….and we now know who Donald’s VP will be assuming he wins the nomination.
If Cruz had been a little nicer, it probably would have been him.
The Jersey Boys!
Use THE “E” STREET BAND to open all his campaign stops!!!!!!!!!!
YOU BETCHA!!!!!!!!!!
I CAN SEE PATTI’s BUTT FROM MY TRUCK!!!!!
Tom Hagen: You know who is going to kiss your ring first
Trump: Cruz is practicing how to smile, Rubio is taking a bath, Christie is down at the Krispy Kreme, think it will be Christie as soon as he gets his blood sugar up
[Hagen is silent for a long moment]
Tom Hagen: Christie. I always thought it would be Cruz
Trump: It’s the smart move. Christie was always smarter.
Even though I hate Christie’s fat Neocon ass, he is as smart as a whip. He single-handedly destroyed the Rubiobot.
Just goes to show though, that you can be smart and still wrong sometimes- like Christie’s authoritarian fat ass.
FitsNews thinks Christie is a liberal. So it makes sense he’s endorse another liberal Yankee in Trump.

Pretty funny. I’ve noticed on some pro-Trump websites that have maintained that Christie is a Rino-Obama Hugger etc.. are now super duper fine him since he endorsed Trump.
Just search any GOP candidate’s name FitsNews and you’ll get a bunch of “liberal” and “republican” and other dummy quotations. I wonder how much the DNC sends his way?

LOL – tweet I just read about Christie endorsement and going after Rubio.
“Time for some traffic problems in South Florida”
Loud mouthed asshole supports loud mouthed asshole for president, more at 11.
More like a smaller authoritarian bowing before a bigger one.
It’s a HUGE endorsement.
Sunrise and sunset
Since the beginning, it hasn’t changed yet
I say some people fly high begin to lose sight
You can’t see very clear when you’re in flight
Well it’s high time
That you find
The same people you misuse on your way up
You might meet on your way down
You think the sun rise and set for you
The same sun rise, set, and shine on the poor folks too
But I don’t mind, you’re turning around
I myself would like a little higher ground
Well it’s high time
That you found
The same people you walk all on your way up
You might meet on your way down
On your way (Down, down, down) x3
On your way down
On your way down
She’s so fine, and her Mercedes is cool
It’s your thing, It’s your thing, it pleases you
You got to frown, when you cross town
You think it’s an honor just to have you ’round
Well it’s high time
That you find
The same dudes you misuse on your way up
You might meet on your way down

This is the weirdest election ever……….
That’s a reference to Christie having prosecuted Kushner, a New Jersey real estate tycoon, in a totally insane early-2000s case that involved Kushner hiring a prostitute to seduce his own brother-in-law and then having a recording of their tryst sent to his (Kushner’s) sister. Kushner was sentenced to two years in prison in 2005 after reaching a plea agreement with Christie. In 2009, Kushner’s son Jared married Trump’s daughter Ivanka. Jared Kushner now frequently appears onstage at Trump campaign events.

Dec 2015 Trump on Christie & Bridgegate
“They’re closing up the largest bridge in the world—the biggest in the United States—traffic flowing during rush hour,” Trump continued. “People couldn’t get across for six, seven hours. Ambulances. Fire trucks.
“They’re with him all the time, the people that did it,” he added. “They never said, ‘Hey, boss, uh, we’re closing up the George Washington Bridge.’ No, they never said that, they’re talking about the weather? Right?”
“He knew about it,” Trump concluded. “He totally knew about it. He’s got a very friendly group of people over there.”
That was then —- this is now ///
Rival campaigns drew reporters’ attention to a story about Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, getting $93 million in tax breaks from Christie’s state government to build a high-rise in Jersey City. “I know a lot of people thought he was going after Marco on behalf of Jeb,” one Rubio backer said privately about Christie’s attack on Rubio two debates ago. “But I said even then, the Jersey connection made me think he was doing Trump’s dirty work.”
TBG suspects there is a lifetime free buffet deal at all Trump Casinos involved with this.
****************************************************************************************************
Looks like DJT has the brash, loud, uncouth, Yankee* GOP demographic locked up, now…
*Awaiting call from the Dept. of Redundancy Bureau for that one.
Bernie Sanders has promised free college for all. Trump has upped the offer by promising a free deploma from Trump University. WOW!
Sadly, all this comes out too late. Everything Rubio brought up last night has should have been slung at Trump back in the fall. There’s more out there about his real jobs and financial record, especially internationally.
Christie assured the editor of the NH paper that endorsed him for President that he would never endorse Trump. Oops, guess he must have “evolved” on that stance.
It’s a gutsy move..!!
Christie:I’m fat,I’m ugly,and I haven’t seen my dick in ten years.
Looks like a good combo. Christie probably is more well-known than any of the other candidates. In some way, I could not put my finger on, I thought they were too much alike and it would not be a good fit.
Realizing his fate in the primaries, is he being an opportunist or is this heartfelt? Either way, this keeps Christie’s options open in the world of politics.
What a mean and hateful time we live in.The US is no longer a civilized country.
