Fort Worth Texas earlier today.

The twittersphere encapsulated the day brilliantly when someone said: “Donald Trump Hires NJ-based Demolition Expert to Finish Troublesome Project”.  That sub-headline is just too good not to share.

Not only did Donald Trump find a way to starve the media oxygen from the best laid schemes of the frat boys running the GOPe “Full Mississippi” attack plan; but somehow Trump simultaneously created an immediate comparison between a serious and strong campaign -vs- a staggeringly overmatched boy Rubio.   Brilliant.  Simply, brilliant.

Having Chris Christie join with Donald Trump is like having Chris Kyle take position on his six.

ABC – Former presidential candidate and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie endorsed Donald Trump for president today.

“I’m proud to be here to endorse Donald Trump,” Christie said at a campaign rally in Fort Worth, Texas, adding later, “I’m happy to be on the Trump team.”

Christie suspended his presidential campaign after finishing sixth in the New Hampshire primary, and announced he was supporting his former rival for a number of reasons.

“First is that Donald and I along with Melania and Mary Pat have been friends for over a decade. He has been a good and loyal friend to our family,” Christie said. “Secondly, I’ve been on that stage. I’ve gotten to know all the people on that stage. And there is no one who is better prepared to provide America with strong leadership that it needs both at home and around the world than Donald Trump.”

The New Jersey governor said he made his decision Thursday morning.

Christie said that Trump will “provide strong, unequivocal leadership” and would “undoubtedly” be the best candidate to beat “Hillary Clinton in November.

“They [Democrats] do not know the playbook with Donald Trump because he is rewriting the playbook. He is rewriting playbook of American politics because he is providing strong leadership that is not dependent upon the status quo,” Christie said.

Trump introduced the New Jersey governor as a “friend for many years,” and did not dismiss the idea of having Christie as a potential running mate, “he’s got the talent.” (read more)
