Chris Christie Endorses Donald Trump

[misterx]

Trump is supported by Chris Christie and opposed by Ron Paul. That tells you something.

It tells you Christie is getting a spot in his administration and Ron isn't.

Well. It certainly should.

Trump is supported by Chris Christie and opposed by Ron Paul. That tells you something.

The last republican nominee that Ron Paul endorsed was Ronald Reagan. Nothing new here. He doesn't endorse since he has maintains extremely high standards.

But now the choice is Trump or Hillary. Pick your poison.

If forced to choose, I'll just poison myself.

 

[LibertyExtremist]

I can't believe Christie didn't mention 9/11 in any of this.

Bit surprising... but "smart" move politically on part of Christie.
Be interesting to see how neocons' owners react to this.

tongue in cheek, my friend.

I failed internet in college.

They are still infuriated that Christie stopped Rubio's momentum after Iowa.

 

[donnay]

If he can't beat him he might as well join him.

 

[Chieppa1]

Are you kidding? That's why they love the t-Rump. MOAR JAIL! MOAR GOOBERMINT!

Christie. Christie will go after these idiots. Trump is not going to re-illegalize weed in Colorado.

It's a career gamble. He believes he will be vp, and failing that, can still win NJ w/o the party.

Trump or Clinton will win. You can have your civil liberties or your 2nd amendment, but not both. Which do you prefer to keep?

If I have the 2nd Amendment, I will have my civil liberties.

 

[AuH20]

Is this a veiled threat? Rubin and Wilson are drawing the lines for future reprisals! This is unbelievable! Trump is actually fracturing the GOP and these fools are broadcasting it!

 

[AuH20]

Governor of Maine Paul LePage just endorsed Trump on a radio show.

 

[Tywysog Cymru]

Doesn't tell us anything we didn't already know...

But now the choice is Trump or Hillary. Pick your poison.

Third Party? Write-in?

 

[Peace&Freedom]

Christie was probably offered something in Trump's administration, VP or AG being the best bets. From the red meat he was throwing evangelicals today, I wouldn't be surprised if he picked Ben Carson as his running mate to fortify his position with the Christian right.

Rand's endorsement was only for the general election, not the primaries.

Beat me too it. Rand's choices were endorse nobody, endorse a democrat or endorse the nominee. The logic fail was on openfire's part.

When did Hillary Clinton start supporting the 2nd amendment? Because Donald Trump certainly doesn't.


Dems and Reps are both wrong on guns
It’s often argued that the American murder rate is high because guns are more available here than in other countries. Democrats want to confiscate all guns, which is a dumb idea because only the law-abiding citizens would turn in their guns and the bad guys would be the only ones left armed. The Republicans walk the NRA line and refuse even limited restrictions.

For assault weapon ban, waiting period, & background check
I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun. With today’s Internet technology we should be able to tell within 72-hours if a potential gun owner has a record.

As for your "Either Hillary or Trump is going to be president", you realize that the primaries aren't over yet right? Seriously the "lesser of too evils" argument is over the top stupid when there are still other people in the race. Why "stump for Trump" at this point when Trump isn't even the nominee? I can see why Chris Christie is doing it. He's an opportunistic pig. By why are you doing it? It's not like if people vote for someone else (Ted Cruz. Rand Paul. Whoever.) that your "lesser of two evils" calculus changes one iota. And you have the nerve to say other people were having a "logic fail." I'm not voting for Trump in the primary. At this point I'm having to decide who I want to stop worse, Trump or Clinton. Do I vote for Cruz to try to stop Trump or do I vote for Bernie to try to stop Clinton? If you're right, and neither can be stopped, I'll jump off that bridge without a parachute once I get there.

I was rooting for trump. But if Christie is anywhere in the cabinent or VP or AG or anything, it's back to plan B.

If only it were that simple.
