and he took his lunch money and gave him a wedgie. It's what bullies do. Rubio was always a lightweight. Christie just waited for his chance to beat him up in front of everyone else. The rest of the Republican field is too obsessed with pandering and too cowardly to engage in that kind of behavior. Christie is a practiced schoolyard bully and gave them a great display of his time worn tactics.

That whole debate was nothing more than a shameless display of the different shades of incompetence and lack of character.
