3. I saw Christie respond to this-- rather poignant

He pointed out that like many Americans, he's struggled with his weight.
Also that Trump isn't a monster of fitness either. (Just a monster.)

5. If I'm Chris Christie (which, thank God or whoever is in charge that I'm not),

I'm saying something like,

"Yup, I'm fat. So are you; have you looked in a mirror lately? But I'm not going to trade fat insults with you; I'm going to point out that dragging me about my weight is all you've got. Did you say I was incompetent? Stupid? Incapable of governing? Unqualified to be president? Nope. You called me fat because you couldn't come up with anything else. I suppose I could call you a whiny crybaby, but that's just another childish insult, like calling a person a fat pig; but instead I'll just note that you've been recently indicted three times for serious crimes, with one more indictment probably coming soon, and that you're shamefully unqualified ever to serve as president again. You're fat, and so am I, but the more significant difference between us is that I'm not being indicted in four different jurisdictions."

7. THAT should be everyone's tactic when that disgusting bag of hateful slime denegrates them

Call him out on his childish bully tactics. Hold a mirror up to him. Let him know, in no uncertain terms, that behaving like a spoiled brat will NOT get him the compliance he expects from others.
