Trump mocks Christie at rally

[brooklynite]

Source: Politico

Donald Trump hit his newfound sidekick Chris Christie with some friendly fire on Monday while trying to attack Ohio Gov. John Kasich ahead of his home state’s Tuesday primary.

Trump, speaking a campaign rally in Columbus, Ohio, accused Kasich of having abandoned his gubernatorial duties to campaign in New Hampshire.

“And your governor is absentee," Trump told the crowd. "He goes to New Hampshire, he’s living in New Hampshire. Living! Where's Chris, is Chris around? Even more than Chris Christie, he was there, right? Even more.”

Trump then turned to Christie, who was next to him on stage, and said, “I hated to do that, but I had to make my point.”

...that you're an idiot.

[Firebrand Gary]

1. Super funny.

[maxsolomon]

2. Oh, Chris. Chris, Chris, Chris...

How does it feel? Will the cabinet position be worth your soul?

[mpcamb]

17. Secretary of Transportation?

[JFKDem62]

28. In charge of bridges.

[msanthrope]

42. He has no soul. nt

[Bernardo de La Paz]

3. Trump so stupid he shows how dangerous it is to get close to Trump for any reason

After today's performance, who would be stupid enough to be Trump's VP. Oh, yeah, ... Palin. Well he won't have much choice if it ever comes to that, which it might. If Trump doesn't outright win the nomination or is denied the nomination by RNC machinations and chicanery, then he is likely to go rogue. Didn't somebody else self-style themselves as "rogue"? Oh, yeah, ... Palin.

[tabasco]

25. That is a neat drawing.

The one on the left perfectly captures the essence of those characters.

[yurbud]

49. Palin would be a better sidekick. A dig like that would go right over her head.

[nolabear]

4. Please Sir, may I have another?

Christie made the mistake of forgetting that, like everyone else, he is merely a function to Trump. Falling in love with an abusive narcissist is the road to hell.

[Fast Walker 52]

31. Indeed.... these people are too freaking bizarre

[central scrutinizer]

5. Bwah hah hah

Idiot tool - bwah hah hah

[book_worm]

6. "Now go and get me my slippers and paper"

[farleftlib]

7. HAHAHA, Christie is a tool

I'll bet he's sorry he skipped that trooper's funeral now! It musta seemed like a good idea at the time. Too bad his new BFF can't be trusted.

[UCmeNdc]

8. Chris Christie is Trump's lacky.

Chris Christie have you no shame?

[brooklynite]

10. I wasn't aware that that was a matter in dispute...

[montana_hazeleyes]

9. Bwwwwaaaahhhh!

You can't make this %#^$ up!

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

11. Chris here

All I can say right now is jumping off the Brooklyn bridge would be a better deal than being back in New jersey in the present political climate. I'll take the abuse same as I give it ,I know the Donald is just funning around. Donald and me we've been pal's for going on 15 years !

[sofa king]

12. Talk about a hard fall.

Three years ago I picked Christie (probably right here on DU) to be the GOP nominee this year. His positioning was amazingly good.

* Christie filled a brief vacancy in the US Senate with one of his loyal followers, granting that guy (and himself) lifetime floor access to the Senate. That permits Christie to generate his own unique intelligence on goings on in Washington, DC;

* Christie also became the Chairman of the National Governor's Association, arguably the most powerful lobbyist group in DC and definitely making him first among all governors in the US--and authoritarian Republicans usually prefer governors over Senators as their nominee;

* Then, when he was in a position to generate dirt on all other governors AND all US Senators, he announced his candidacy...

... And then he became Donald Trump's bitch.

That's not as stupid a move as one might think. If any Republican is going to win this time around, it's Trump, and Trump is a foolish person with a prior track record of destruction, failure, narcissist's moments of self-loathing clarity, and illicit activity. Clearly, Christie has taken notes from House of Cards.

So Christie is still a master of positioning, this time placing himself to be in position to inherit it all when President Trump implodes.

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

18. Christie was pretty good at political maneuvering

but only after he was made by the Bush administration and given access to the republican agenda. By it he learned all about the dirty tricks and became a master of those tricks himself.Make no mistake Christie is a dangerous man. I tell you what he reminds me of, he reminds me of that German commercial co pilot that crashed the airliner in the mountains in the south of France. If anybody really believes that wacko would just fold up his tent and retreat into privet practice having become a political pariah ,than such people must not know about that vindictive piece of work that lurks within him. And Christie is no lone wolf when it comes down to that-for him and his type that is a way of life. And people hate that. When they think they have been wronged and it matters not if they really were or not ,they seek revenge. The George Washington bridge lane closures was a revenge motivated plot orchestrated straight out of Christie's
very own operational hand book which was no doubt piped into his appointees both consciously and sub consciously.

That's why Christie kept them cooped up in a little office right next to his for a spell before he sent then off to their appointment assignments. Does the Christie operational hand book actually exist ? Will they admit to it if it does ? Sooner or later no doubt.

Christie's days of political maneuvering are just about over.
All Christie ever wanted to be is a politician since his early youth. And all that German commercial airline co pilot ever wanted to do is be a commercial air line pilot . He started out in gliders as a cub scout.

Those vindictive revenge motivated dudes are nothing but trouble.

[truthisfreedom]

13. Yawn.

trump's old news.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

14. I wonder what Trump's got on Christie?

Because he's humiliating the hell out of him, and Christie, who was one of the biggest bullies ever, is just taking it. I don't think Trump has promised Christie anything in exchange for his endorsement and his obsequious groveling; Christie's endorsement and three bucks will get you a small latte at Starbuck's. I think Trump has some really dirty dirt on him - not escapades with live boys or dead girls or sheep, but something that will result in Chris taking up a new line of work involving the hand-crafting of license plates. Both of those guys are almost certainly mobbed up, and Trump's people put the proverbial horse's head in Christie's bed, I think.

[NNadir]

38. If Chris Christie starts making license plates in New Jersey, I'll really think that my car...

...has cooties.

I'd rather he work in the kitchen prison making beans, although this suggests that his fellow inmates won't get many beans to eat, as the cook will have eaten all of them.

You may be right that bad hair boy has something on him though.

A lot of us here in New Jersey are wondering what the hell Christie's doing, but we don't really care. We rather like it when he's out of state.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

15. I'm thinking Christie is getting a sense of how Ivana and Marla felt towards the end....

....and my guess Melania will probably feel some day as well, if she doesn't do so already.

[yellowcanine]

16. Trump is playing Christie like Lucy played Charlie Brown.

And in the end he likely would not give Christie a major role in a Trump administration.

[Kelvin Mace]

19. Damn, Christie has ZERO self-respect

Seriously, how can anyone respect Christie.

[LiberalLovinLug]

20. Huh Spike?

[GOLGO 13]

21. Chris, your just the "help" now. Get used to it.

He did it right to his face & he stood there and just took it. That's what being a tool gets you donut man.

Yes sir, thank you sir, please sir may I have another....

[AshevilleKate]

22. And this is how he treats an ally!!!

Christie should have been given the opportunity to reply. Something like, "I'm sorry, I am afraid I could not understand you with that enormous foot in your mouth. Have you seen my Bernie button?"

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

23. That's how you heel a bully

Christie will be lucky if he makes it out of a primary. He's been neutered.

[Dont call me Shirley]

24. They WILL take trump down and hard!

[underpants]

26. He did the same thing when Christie endorsed him

"Jobs are leaving. Jobs are leaving New Jersey too" Christie was right behind him shaking his head NO as strongly as he could. Not that I feel for Christie personally but Trump basically just kicked him in the nuts live on TV in both instances.

[SummerSnow]

27. Christie is a tool, as long as he can breathe the same rancid air as Trump he is happy.

All he will do is kiss his ass more.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

29. Under Trump's theory the only people who should run for president are those who don't hold office

and have to leave their duties to campaign.

In other words, himself.

Funny comment earlier about making Christie Secretary of Transportation.

[Plucketeer]

30. HA!

It would be EASY to see Donald's point - if he'd just lift up that hairball!

[malthaussen]

32. Surprised Christie didn't hit him.

Why doesn't he just get down on all fours and lick the soles of Trump's shoes?

33. Same as it ever was.

34. ...that you're an idiot.

That Christie is an idiot

[keithbvadu2]

35. Get back in your doggie cage, Christie. That's a good boy.

[C Moon]

36. Wow. Trump is an ass through and through. He's a 100% control freak.

and dangerous!

[spooky3]

37. They deserve each other.

[Jeb Bartlet]

39. What a complete

Ass Trump is. I'm going to enjoy watching Hillary or Bernie take him apart piece by piece. Can't wait for the porn shots of his wife to hit the Major media, should be fun to watch Trump sputter over the first bimbo.

[Beacool]

40. Trump has even less class than Christie.

As Hillary wondered on that hot mic conversation with Matthews, does Christie have some campaign debt that he hopes Trump will help him to pay off? I don't understand why someone with Christie's bluster and personality would put up with Trump's rudeness.

[pfitz59]

41. Trump reminding Christie

who's the master, and who's the bitch

[JackRiddler]

43. What are the odds that Trump has dirt on Christie?

Seems highly likely.

[c588415]

44. Chris Christie is now Donald Trump's pudgy little lapdog

[SylviaD]

45. Has any candidate ever treated an endorser worse?

This is bordering on the ridiculous. It's as if Trump needs to punish him for having dared to run against him.

[GOLGO 13]

46. If Donald Trump stopped short, Trump would require surgery to have

Christie's mouth removed from his ass.

[yurbud]

47. Christie was out-thugged by Trump, which had got to be

The greatest humiliation of his life.

[NastyRiffraff]

48. Whatever I thought of Christie

and believe me, it was nothing good, I NEVER thought anyone could out-bully him. I must say, I now believe in karma.
