The New Jersey governor looked like he was in a hostage video
By Tessa Stuart March 2, 2016
Voters in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Vermont and Virginia delivered a clear message to the Republican Party Tuesday, declaring human-sized gumboot chiton Donald Trump their preferred candidate for president.
Trump's one-time rival for the nomination, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, introduced him. "Tonight is the beginning of Donald Trump bringing the Republican Party together for a big victory this November," Christie said. He bit his lip, looking for a moment like he might change his mind, then went on: "Tonight is the beginning of Donald Trump bringing the people of our nation together to help America win again."
He went on to list Donald Trump's favorite Donald Trump qualities: "He has shown himself to be tough and strong and bold. He's shown himself to be a fighter, a leader who speaks plainly to the American people." The description was striking for both how closely is resembles Trump's image of himself, and how little it resembles the dangerously unqualified candidate Christie previously spoke of on the campaign trail.
When Trump emerged to take the podium, Christie stood behind him for the duration of his victory speech, with a surprisingly wide range of pained expressions flickering across his face. The Internet took notice: The hashtag #FreeChrisChristie and jokes about the New Jersey governor looking like he was in a hostage video quickly flooded Twitter.

(115,674 posts)because the look in Christie's eyes says "help meeeee!" It's probably the same expression Faust had when Satan came back for his soul. If Christie weren't such a complete douche I'd almost feel sorry for him because that's the look of a very, very sad man. But I don't...
