NJ Gov. Christie Endorses Trump
Backing
reflects Christie anger at Rubio
In a widely expected
move, Governor Chris Christie endorsed his former rival Donald Trump for the
Republican presidential candidacy.
Christie dropped out of
the race earlier in February citing two key reasons: 1) To start eating as much and as often as possible;
and 2) to focus his energies on tormenting Marco Rubio.
He is well on his way to
accomplishing his first goal as he recently checked out of the Hackensack Bariatric
Center after having his 2013 lap band surgical procedure reversed.
Regarding the second
goal, tormenting Mr. Rubio, Christie signaled in his endorsement speech that
this would now be his major priority.
At Friday’s news
conference announcing the endorsement, which was attended by Mr. Trump, both
men used derisive insults in describing Mr. Rubio, with Mr. Christie calling Mr.
Rubio’s behavior at the last debate “desperate” and reflective of a “losing
campaign.”
Mr. Christie, reminding
the audience that he is a former federal prosecutor, also vowed to work with
Mr. Trump to determine whether, because of his birth to two Cuban immigrants,
Mr. Rubio is even eligible to become president. If he does determine Rubio’s
ineligibility Christie indicated that, as a former federal prosecutor. he will
bring the full power and authority of his former office to take Mr. Rubio down.
Still in question is
whether Mr. Christie’s endorsement will bring with it some of the individuals
and groups who had originally endorsed him.
These endorsements include Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and
Jennifer “JWoww" Farley of the reality show Jersey Shore, the
National Association of Big Fat Bullies (NABFB) and the Institute for the Preservation
of New York and New Jersey Values (IPNYNJV).
Spokespeople for Snooki, JWoww, the NABFB and the IPNYNJV were all unavailable for comment.
