Trump campaign wastes no time targeting Chris Christie

Trump’s entire campaign is a side show and a desperate attempt to distract from the mounting legal threats against him. I don’t care either way whether he’s convicted, but GOP primary voters need to understand that between trump and DeSantis, Ron is the only one with a serious campaign and who would (fairly easily) defeat Biden.

Any of the declared candidates to date are a better choice than Trump. Pretty simple, and I think people will eventually recognize that.

I hope so. Saw governor of ND announced today. Don’t know much about him but seemed pretty polished and well spoken. Add him to the list of strong candidates who just need to increase name ID.

I like Trump's policies but his legal issues and sophomoric attitude have worn thin. My vote in the primary will go to Ron D. For the main election, I will vote for the Mickey Mouse over Biden. He is a disaster.

Agreed, I’ll vote for whoever the nominee is. Although if it’s Trump leading the ticket, I won’t have much confidence in a GOP victory at any level.

If Trump is the nominee (which I'm certain he won't be) and Biden choses to stay in, I wouldn't be surprised to see a third or even a fourth party candidate. I think most of America is disgusted with these two old fools.

Already a 3rd party guy will hurt the dems

A legit third party candidate scares me. Most people don't understand that if no candidate gets 270, the president of the USA will be determined by people like MTG and AOC.

As a republican have to admit I’d be more concerned with MTG having a say than AOC, she’s absolutely batshit.

Have to think that would benefit Dems if it happens in 24 anyway. GOP controls the house but just barely, and it took them dozens of vote to pick a speaker. Getting them to agree on a President would be a circus.

What MAGA house member is there for policy? It is all rhetoric from her and Boebert. MAGA is just anti something.

Yeah, which is why I have more respect for the squad than the ultra maga crowd. The squad’s policy views are insane, but at least they stand for something.
 
Is this what 40% or the population want for President?



When the DOJ indicts Trump (which is the only way Trump doesn't win the nomination) I still think Christie has a chance. He has more charisma and will out debate any other Republican candidate that is in the race.

No offense but you are dreaming. Christie is irrelevant…won’t get to 1%. He is campaigning to get back in the game somehow.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see him drop out and run for Congress/Senate. That or a book deal.

I hope so but in all seriousness, if they haven't realized it by now, what will be the impetus for them to realize that during the primary? It's not like Trump can get much worse. The fact that he still has this much support is mind boggling. His supporters are sticking with him and the more crowded the field gets, the better his chances are.
 
I liked Christie as a Governor. I don't agree with him on everything, but I will never find a politician like that, nor will anyone else. Anyone who takes on the teachers union in a Blue State automatically gets huge bonus points from me, because it is a proverbial third-rail in politics. And my God we could have used that during the COVID years.

He was cleared of the Bridge-Gate stuff, but honestly even if folks think he was aware, you can point to literally every other politician that has something like that on their jacket.

I still don't think Christie has any shot. And sadly the only real shot I think the R's have, absent Trump getting ill or going to jail, is if they do what the D's did in 2020 and coalesce around the candidate they think has the best chance of winning. The D-power brokers were able to do that in and around South Carolina, and the Rs would have to do it around Ron D. because I think he has the best shot nationally.
 
I actually don't think Christie would be a bad candidate, but he won't win and I don't think he even expects/intends to win. He's just here to stop Trump.

In the eyes of people who vote Dem, yes. In the eyes of the people who actually vote in the republican primaries, no. Trump picked apart every single candidate he went after in 2016, there's no reason to think he won't do the same this time around. There's a reason a good number of people here say the only way he's not the candidate is by indictment.

That has nothing to do with his ability to debate. That has to do with his cult following. To his followers, it doesn't matter if Christie wipes him up on the debate floor. If January 6 wasn't enough to turn their back away, do you think losing a debate to a candidate will? I doubt it. Do you think calling people names is really good debating? Little Marco and low energy Jeb. It was effective first time around, but his shots against Christie come off lame and juvenile.

Christie is by far the most effective debater in the field. That won't matter absent a federal indictment. And who knows? That may not sway Trump voters either. But it does give Christie and other opponents much more ammunition.

Instead of cherry picking a sentence....how about taking the earlier sentence of how people who vote in the primaries view things. You even admit it, even an indictment might not sway the crowd. You've never watched a fight where you think you knew the clear winner and the 3 judges came up with a different result. I'm not saying Christie can't out debate Trump, I'm telling you the judges who matter, the republican primary voters, will give the Trump the win. If all one cares about is the scoreboard at the end of the elections, Trump will do enough in the debates to win.
