New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie Friday endorsed Donald Trump for president, saying Trump is the man who will stand up to the Washington Establishment. “I am proud to be here to endorse Donald Trump for president of the United States,” Christie said during a hastily called event in Fort Worth, Texas.
Christie made clear he’s ready to join Trump in attacking the front-runner’s chief rivals, Sens. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz. “We don’t need any more of these Washington, D.C., acts,” Christie said. “The problem is Washington, D.C., and you don’t need Washington politicians to come in and fix it … especially some who’ve only been there for one term and don’t even show up for work.”
Christie denied that supporting Trump was in exchange for a post in his administration should he win. “I haven’t been offered any position,” Christie said. Christie said Trump is positioned to win in the general election against Hillary Clinton. “The best person to beat Hillary Clinton in November on that stage last night is undoubtedly Donald Trump,” Christie said.

Not watching.
Withdrawing over his tax returns?
In my dreams.
GovChristie endorses MrTrump! wow.
do do DO do (twilight zone) do.
Chris Christie endorsement! That seals the deal for me. Trump is my man!
Rubio, you are so done. That sure explains your desperate behavior last night after you got wind of this endorsement.
Boy, this most FUN election ever just got better! Hang on for a great ride!
Rubio is like one of the characters in a Twilight Zone episode who is slowly fading, fading, fading, and then he’s gone.
Don’t you mean the Cheshire Cat in Alice? Just correcting the ref, not agreeing Rubio is fading…I like his Attack Chihuahua thing.
Yes, you’re right. Complete with grin. ;+}
Yes! Can’t wait for the real nitty-gritty.
As a poker player, I’m all in.
Well. That changes my mid completely.
NOT.
Christie was on my Would Vote For list and he just changed lists. Would Not Vote for EVER for ANYTHING. Didn’t some of you get mad when he hugged Obama–well, that’s how I feel now.
I have been a non-fan since the hug. Yes.
Christie is now on my fecal roster. And if Rubio took VP under Trump (ack), he would join him there–into perpetuity. I think Chris would not turn down VP if it came to that–he is openly pushing for it, scowling and ranting in the cause of the other scowler and ranter.
Trump to do list
Build wall and close the border
Audit the Federal reserve
Charge the hildabeast with 1300 counts of breaking her non disclosure agreement.
Charge Obama with war crimes in Libya,Egypt,Pakistan,Iraq,Afghanistan,and Yemen
Legalize pot
Send the illegals back to there homeland.
Hush!!
I think he wants the AG position.
I was a non fan of Christie long ago. For me it was about a 5 minute non answer to Hannity about his views on guns.
BTW, he would outlaw them in a heartbeat.
Well, you beat me to it.
I have dubbed Christie DEAD TO ME. When I read about how the Christies and Trumps are best buds, I got a little conspiracy minded like some here…Is it possible all this is a putup job…Does someone know THIS MINUTE now how this ends? Are we just useful idiots…?
I think Huckabee will be the next honey bee in Trump’s bonnet :) Just heard Mike’s daughter has signed onto the Trump campaign.
Also, Nikki Haley went on record that she will support Trump if he’s the nominee.
This is the best Friday News Dump Day ever ;)
That’s the fun part of this whole election campaign. Whether from the D’s or the R’s, you never know, from day to day, what’s going to happen, or turn up.
The electorate is in a foul mood, the political experts are gasping for air, the media are not even pretending to be objective, an old hippy is running for President, Hillary has the FBI hot on her trail, an aging, ex-President (Billy) is reduced to almost no-show crowds, a real estate mongol is taking all the politicians to school, an ex-Tea Party politician (Rubio) is sweating bullets, an expected shoe-in (Jeb) quit the scene, a cardiac surgeon gives it a good try.
Republican leadership is shown to be completely incompetent, Democrat leadership has a couple of candidates hidden in the wings just waiting for the bell to ring (Biden, Warren). there’s enough name-calling and insults all around to last a lifetime. There has got to be a movie made out of this election season.
It would never get greenlight. They’d look at the script and say it’s too implausible, and no audience will believe it.
Already been done. Animal House, perfect analogy to the establishment vs the voters this year. AND, we get the added bonus of a great ending as well!
True, it’s been done. I watched The Candidate with Robert Redford a couple of nights ago on TCM. Boy, was that a good reminder of how nasty the behind the scenes manipulation gets during the election season. Worth a re-watch during this campaign season. Redford’s final words in the movie after he won the election: “What do I do now?”
That’s the question we all have after whoever wins this horse race. “What’s the winner g0ing to do as POTUS?” We never really know until that winner sits down for the first time at that big desk in the Oval Office. That’s the gamble we all take. It’s a best guess game. Who could have guessed that Truman, who was regarded as a joke by Roosevelt, the media and the political big shots, would have turned out to be the quite good President he became (even with his faults)? Who would have believed that Carter, who doesn’t have an evil bone in his body, would have turned out to be such an incompetent scatterbrain as President? While we understood that Obama was going to be really bad news, who would have guessed the depths of the evil political behavior he would sink to?
No one knows at this point how any of the candidates would actually behave as President. Well, except for Hillary. We know what she’s all about. We don’t have to guess in her case. ;+}
“Real estate mongol”–that has a ring, Marcus.
Star…It’s well known the Mongols are famous for building huge office buildings using eminent domain and driving sheep herders out of business. Ulaanbaatar has far too many of these monstrocities even now and residents there are not pleased, not pleased at all. ;+}. Good catch.
Touche.
I find it difficult to believe that Niki Haley would support Trump– she is part of the Ryan- Rubio new GOPe crowd — and I think, but am not sure, that I heard some discussion of her being Rubio’s pick for VP. So, curious about Haley/Trump.
Lost respect for NH with the confederate flag call and …. think she had promise and now will end up like Ayotte — the girl between two male bookends.
It was a very odd endorsement, out of political character for her. Something’s up.
I love Christie ! That was the most fun presser I’ve ever watched.
I like his attitude.
He doesn’t back down, neither does Trump.
Hate Christie but if it get s the Donald more votes – I can live with that.
This country needs some real world experience!
The real shockwaves are coming from Camp Hillary. If Christie becomes the AG …. OMG!!!! ;)
If Trump turns Chris loose on Hillary, as AG, Katy bar the door.
Christie as AG and Cruz either SCOTUS (too young, not yet — he can do more) or DOJ — I would love to see him at DOJ and Hillary in orange or black and white stripes.
X2!
Have they started to sell Team Blowhard t-shirts yet?
Horse’s Ass.
They have t-shirts for that? I could use a dozen for certain people…no, not on this list…
Just some thoughts:
The MSM has moved into the Trump camp. Now that the Repub top three consists of two Hispanics, and a native NewYorker they are closing ranks around one of their own; a sophisticated billionaire, educated at the right schools, and oh so telegenic that TV signals follow him.
MrTrump has burst thru the establishment fence that was used to keep out those who weren’t willing to follow the rules they set. Their anger and disgust at this intruder has made them impotent to stop his advance.
We’ll soon see the endorsements come tumbling out of the establishment as they hope to save what they can of what’s left.
IMO, of course.
And just last night the chatter was about how Rubio had gone after Trump and succeeded. I thought he looked like a hyperactive kid with Trump just looking at him, but that’s me.
It’s impossible to take him seriously. He’s out of his league – maybe he should try coaching a little league team after he leaves the Senate. Politics is not his game.
Just watched a HUGE Rubio rally in Georgia–he was cracking jokes…even laughed at a guy holding up high heel boots–“They’ll be back, don’t worry,” he promised.
Sophisticated? Not a word I would assoc with him. But yes, in the desire for eyeballs and revenue, a lot are trying to get on what they see as the “winning” side. There is very little pretense even of objectivity anymore. So zip–my old profession is lost, too.
As Democrats like to say on the Mizzou campus..lets bring some muscle….this is a great combination of muscle..politics is a blood sport especially when you need to defeat Hilldabeast. Bring it
Lifelong political hacks are like people on crack cocaine. Once they taste it and get the high, they’ve lost touch with reality, and need more and more of it.
By this defn, some of us have tracks.
Just when you think it can’t get more bizarre! This is not ‘politics’- it feels like a combination of The Apprentice and The Biggest Loser.
Trump gets more ridiculous every day – Hillary must be doing cartwheels. Ugh!!!
God help this country.
Hillary doing cartwheels. Eye Bleach.
But seriously can you imagine her doing a cartwheel in one of those “iron box” pantsuits? I think the top would send her sprawling out of control if she tried.
If her head went lower than her waist she would have repercussions of her concussion.
“I thought I was in a bad mood, but it’s been a few years so I guess this is who I am now.”
Weezie (?) in ‘Steel Magnolias’
That’s me many a day.
Christie goes for Trump. Big deal. No pun intended.
Now, Haley says she will support Trump…
Get back on the porch, Rubio. It is over for you.
Cruz – in a quiet place, a “safe place” ask yourself if you honestly think you have a chance. Let me answer for you just in case. “NO!” Get out while the gettin’ is good.
Some of my Christian friends are patiently explaining the who/what/when/where/why Trump is “bad” and Cruz/Rubio/Carson/Kasich is “good.”
Honestly, I don’t see a tinker’s damn worth of difference in any of them.
But, I will vote for anyone of them rather than Hillary or Sanders or Biden. (Look for Biden…he’s coming down the pike.)
As I read today, not voting makes you a Democrat.
Correction: the actual Stell Magnolia quote is
“Ouiser: I’m not crazy, M’Lynn, I’ve just been in a very bad mood for 40 years!”
Still….I get it.
Crap.
Now you see why I am in a bad mood:
SteEl Magnolia
Love your reference to Steel Magnolias, it’s one of my favorite movies. I can relate to that quote. LOL
Me too, and I just don’t give a da$#
I like the Moms Mabley line: “I ain’t got but one nerve and he gets ON it.”
The candidates and the endorsers are all playing musical chairs right now. They are trying to associate themselves with whom they are guessing will be the winners, power centers, influencers, job brokers. Think of how a flock of starlings will move in mysterious patterns as they follow the leader of the flock. Political animals. It’s a type.
The trick though is to make sure you’re not standing under that flock when it performs its perfunctory waste dump on those below.
Yes, that is the trick! There must some instructions on how to do that.;+}
Maybe on YouTube?
Other than the small articles on the conservative sites showing Biden apologizing to Mexico for Rep. rhetoric has anyone seen any coverage of his trip down there or why he went and what he was supposed to accomplish?
He was probably the first to offer lardass a bucket of fried chicken. That’s the reason he got it an no one else.
The Christie-Obama hug, wasn´t that the reason for four more Obama-years ? How can such a Quisling be forgiven ?
I get where you’re going with that, but a lot went wrong in 2012. Christie’s hug was just one more flooded compartment on an already sinking ship.
If Mitt had been as effective at a frontal assault on Obama in 2012, as he’s trying to be with his from-behind ambush on Trump, he’d be running for re-election right now.
No WONDER the GOP electorate is pissed.
Christy could be angling for a job in Trump’s administration.
I think for the AG position.
They probably have an artful deal–it turns out, their two families are tight and get together all the time.
DEAD TO ME. FOREVER and EVER as my kid used to say.
Big trouble in the Clinton camp.
The veterans that post here should take note.
http://www.theamericanmirror.com/video-bill-clinton-snaps-at-veteran-during-speech-shut-up-and-listen-to-my-answer/
I saw that and it pissed me off!
And it reminds people of how Hillary treated the White House military staff when she was First Lady. Her insulting, demeaning manner toward these young men and women in uniform is the stuff of legend. She insulted them, cursed at them when they didn’t please her, treated them like butlers, made them feel like fools. Billy just reminded us of that sad experience.
We have to go back for those sunglasses!
Remember that?!
Ah, yes. The sunglasses. ;+}
She also called Bill a m-effer outside Blair House one day in full hearing of the press.
Yikes! She’s known to swear, but I hadn’t heard that one.
@Marcus
Oh, Cacklepants has a potty mouth that could make a sailor blush. She one referred to Bill as a c**ksucker, and she wasn’t even referring to Monica when she said it.
(but Trump is the boor in this race, a-course…)
Yrs ago–during his presidency. The woman can sling it.
Yes, I remember Marines in full dress uniform waiting tables.
And don’t forget the Marine holding an umbrella for the current POTUS.
Good for Bill! I’d tell that whiny little bitch to shut up as well!
What WLB?
