New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie Endorses Donald Trump

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump gives a thumbs up during a South Carolina Republican primary night event, Saturday, Feb. 20, 2016 in Spartanburg, S.C. Trump is the victor in the South Carolina Republican primary.

Larry Hogan said Friday he’s staying out of presidential politics and his previous endorsement of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie “doesn’t translate” into an endorsement of Donald Trump.

Rubio says Democrats are rooting for Trump to win the Republican nomination, “They know the minute he gets the nomination, they will shred him to pieces”.

“There is no-one who is better prepared to provide America with the strong leadership that it needs both at home and around the world than Donald Trump”.

Cruz was left out of the equation entirely; Christie did not talk about Cruz in his endorsement of Trump, but instead attacked Rubio, seeming to cast Rubio as Trump’s sole remaining rival.

Christie said Trump “will do what needs to be done to protect the American people”.

“How does this guy, not one tweet, but three tweets, spell words so badly?”

“It’s Rubio!” Trump mimicked, spilling water and pretending to desperately need a sip.

“What’s that tell you about what we can expect if things go sideways when you go into the Oval Office?” “I don’t know how he got that wrong since the E and O are nowhere near each other on the keyboard”, Rubio joked to supporters in Dallas. During the New Hampshire Republican debate just days before the New Hampshire primary, Christie attacked Rubio for being overly scripted and robotic.

Rubio began the day Friday waging a fresh verbal assault against Trump, repeatedly calling the billionaire businessman “a con artist” during a round of morning television interviews. A Quinnipiac University Poll showed Trump with a double-digit lead over the Florida senator; while an Associated Industries of Florida survey showed a much narrower margin between the two men.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is battling US Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont for the Democratic nomination.

This was-because it had to be-the jump on, and dump on Donald Trump debate. “I wished he had endorsed no one rather than Trump”.

Donald Trump and Marco Rubio just can’t help themselves, and their political punch-for-punch keeps getting weirder.
