Bullshit Chris Christie!

You just said on MSNBC that you didn’t raise your hand when asked “if Trump was the nominee, you would support him in the election” at last week’s debate!

Well “Lordy” there are tapes and you raised your hand and the whole world saw it!

You’re a weak person who willingly chose to kiss the throne of Trump over the past several years, yet now you’re just blowing smoke in your attacks on Trump and in the end you will be sucking up to Trump when it is convenient for you!

Pathetic way to grovel your way into the public eye!

WHY does MSNBC give him airtime? Also, why do they keep bringing back Chris Matthews? 🙄

He's been clear he would never vote for Trump. He has no incentive to claim that he would.

Christie positions himself as the anti-Trump.

His own history will provide a stark contrast to his current positions.

But that just makes him an idiot or else he was trying to muddy the waters. When you are responding to a prompt to literally "raise your hand if X pertains to you" and it doesn't but you raise your hand to speak at that moment...

Much more time. He is a regular on that station.

The fact is cable news is intent on constant conflict and those who do not want a stable country use it, on both sides.

Fox uses it, but so does MSNBC on the other side. Keeping everyone who listens in a state of anger and fear! Turn it off.

I’m sure he knows Joe Biden pretty well, and he knows him to be an honest man. Yet he’s portraying him as some kind of crook, and he’s portraying Delaware has some kind of backwoods remote place, when it’s almost exactly like New Jersey and he knows it. And Joe Biden has been elected outside of Delaware, contrary to one of his favorite attack lines, VPOTUS, twice that doesn’t count with Christie.

what is wrong with having a big name Republican bashing Donald Trump?
I stopped watching Tweety when he and Jonathan Capehart accused Bernie Sanders of lying about fighting for minority housing rights and I don't believe neither one ever apologized.

Not the boot-clicking rigid robotic greeting, but the ‘oh, hi, how ya doin’’ half-ass salute. That’s Christie alright - just enough of a nazi to show he has their interests in mind.

When immediately asked at the debate, he said he was shaking it, as if to say no. I take him at his word. I don't think he will support Trump if he gets the nomination.

He can’t have it both way! He shouldn’t have even raise is hand at all! Hutchinson didn’t raise his hand, in comparison!

This is just another example of big Time wrestling. Christie will sit down and shut up as soon as he is told. The tell is that trump doesn’t rant about him at all
