NJ Gov. Chris Christie endorses Donald Trump

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie endorsed billionaire Donald Trump for president on Friday, a surprising move away from the party establishment that had been previously coalescing behind one of Trump’s rivals, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.

Christie said at a news conference in Fort Worth, Texas, that Trump “will do what needs to be done to protect the American people.”

The endorsement comes just days away from the all-important Super Tuesday vote on Mar. 1st. Multiple, strong victories for Trump on Tuesday will likely seal up his GOP presidential nomination.

    Trump is the ONLY one in the race that knows how to balance a check book, he is the only one they can not buy, he truly is for the people not for himself, all the others are polititions that never had a real job, he knows how to manage!

      Christie would make a good Attorney General. Carson a good Surgeon General.

        Yep, you are spot on Main Street.

        RE: Attorney General – Christie would go after the things Lynch and Holder have purposely ignored. Vice President Christie sounds good but I think Trump has a special impact person in mind – and it is NOT Kasich.

        RE: Surgeon General – Carson absolutely. Intelligent and common sense.

        RE: Trump cabinet – It will be the best this government has had since the early days.

    Christie isn’t a particularly popular governor in New Jersey. There are endorsements and then there are endorsements. The vast majority don’t impress the voters at all. A few are somewhat influential. This is unlikely to change anything in the New Jersey Presidential Primary.

    I’m not trying to be a smart a..,but can you trumpsters tell me how you know when he’s telling the truth and when he’s not? I really want to know so I know so I can tell if it’s worth wasting my gas to go vote for him. I have heard that 70% of republicans won’t vote for Trump which means Hillary wins. Trump has been on both sides of every issue, so tell me how you Know. If all I get is for answers is a bunch of name calling, then I will have my answer.

      Mike, don’t worry about it, the GOP super majority will vote for Trump, along with the moderates, independents, Reagan democrats, etc.

      You think its bad now, just wait, you will hear and see all the mud slinging LIES by congressmen Rubio and Cruz next 3-4 weeks because they are desperate, and their only hope to get some traction in the voting. Both Rubio and especially Cruz are a part of the problem in DC enabling national debt, and giving in to Democrats all along the way (but playing both sides with a FALSE narrative that they are fighting for conservative ideals).

      If you dig into government process and look into Legislative Branch voting patterns in Congress and House, you quickly see the guys who claim to be “conservative” voting against “liberal” positions ONLY when the straw poll vote is clearly one sided “against” or “for” a particular bill or position, does not matter which party side as long as it is clearly tilted one way. But when it comes time to nut up when issues are close, these reported conservatives guys always cave into the “progressive” solution. RUBIO AND CRUZ ARE THE REAL FLIM FLAM CON MEN.

      Here is the best part for these DC people, to further confuse regular Americans they tend to rotate taking the conservative position amongst themselves so they can also cave into progressive positions often enough. It is a game that Dems and GOP play in the establishment world — that’s why the GOP is so afraid and aggressive against a real leader like Donald Trump. …Exception may be Rand Paul who stays true to the Constitution to an extreme (and I am not a Rand Paul fan, but I fully respect his resolve to the Constitution).

      Trump does not want to expose his strategic plan for correcting government because so far 100% of the GOP candidates have dissed Trumps positions on issues, only to 95% adopt them into their rhetoric 2 weeks later. Trump has great ideas and speaks for the benefit of We The People. When we grow Trump’s wealth will grow even more by default, so all Trump has to do is grow the lower, middle, and upper classes where we all benefit, and Trump benefits more. Trump is a noble individual. But those details will come along when he is President along with a top notch hand picked executive team surrounding Trump.

      Just listen to him speak without his critics!!!
      He’s sensible , smart and he cares about all people. He’s a business man and a dad. And he’s done both very well.
      Anyone who gets attacked as much as him yet is still gracious to the other candidates when they win a state . He wants what is best and the rest of them are terrified of being exposed
      That is why they attack him. They aren’t worthy. He has proven the courage and the tenacity and he deserves a chance. After all this is America!
