Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie took a shot at ex-pal Donald Trump by hitting at one of his best-known sore spots: crowd size.
You saw the scenes at CPAC, Christie said on ABCs This Week on Sunday, referring to the right-wing convention outside Washington where the former president spoke on Saturday. That room was half-full.
Trump is known to obsess over crowd size, with one of the very first lies of his administration being a false claim about his inauguration crowd. Hes often made inflated claims about crowds at his rallies, and insisted that theyre sold out even when empty seats are clearly visible.
As Christie noted, Trumps CPAC speech was moderately attended, with ABC News reporting that the back of the room was almost completely empty.
Christie said Trumps empty-seat issue extends well beyond CPAC, and speculated that the former president isnt holding many campaign rallies because he knows the crowds arent what they used to be.

(16,368 posts)This is concrete, verifiable evidence that his base is shrinking. As vocal as some of his cultists may be, there aren't nearly as many as there used to be, from what I can see.
I'm honestly more worried about DeSatan in 2024 than I am about Trump.

(9,888 posts)Not as a politician or leader, but as a character in the ongoing narrative. He's smart, sometimes savvy, and is not unwilling to throw a well placed bomb from time to time. You never QUITE know what he will say or do. He has some personality issues that make him mostly a jerk, but every now and then he pops his head up and lands a zinger. As a cannon he's just a little bit loose.
