Former Republican White House hopeful Christie backs Trump

Speaking before Mr Trump’s rally in Texas and a day after the Republican debate, he said: “The best person to beat Hillary Clinton in November on that stage last night is undoubtedly Donald Trump”. Marco Rubio’s odds at the Republican nomination have decreased after New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s unexpected endorsement of Trump. He’ll provide strong, unequivocal leadership, he will do what needs to be done to protect the American people, first and foremost, both in the homeland and in creating jobs for this country.

Christie quit the presidential race earlier this month after a disappointing sixth-place finish in New Hampshire, where he had invested most of his time and campaign money.

Republican Maine Governor Paul LePage officially endorsed Donald Trump for president Friday.

Mr Trump’s unorthodox candidacy has stirred controversy and shaken the Republican Party at its roots but an increasing number of senior Republicans are becoming resigned to the idea he will be their candidate in November.

The endorsement of the New Jersey governor gives Trump, from neighboring NY, a lift ahead of next week’s crucial Super Tuesday nominating contests.

I was taken to task with comments and emails claiming that there wasn’t a chance that Donald Trump would actually win the Republican nomination.

LePage said the other top contenders in the Republican primary, Texas U.S. Sen. At the press conference where he announced his endorsement, Christie praised Trump for his willingness to stray away from the “status quo”.

Donald Trump’s campaign speech in Waterloo, Iowa, was briefly interrupted Wednesday afternoon by a handful of hecklers that appeared to be climate change activists.

“Mr. Trump’s campaign is seemingly built on a frustration towards government cloaked in hateful, divisive and shallow rhetoric”, said state Assemblyman Troy Singleton, D-7th of Palmyra.

“I don’t know that I’ll be able to join him in that”, said Allen, R-7th of Edgewater Park. Christie used Trump’s controversial proposal to point out that the mogul doesn’t understand the Constitution. Ted Cruz from consideration, leaving him to choose from Trump, Ohio Gov. John Kasich or retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson. He said that Trump, who expressed concerns about the network’s coverage of him, was acting like a “13-year-old” instead of someone who was ready to become president. I will not say that he was trying to cover up his ears. Rubio continued on Friday morning, calling Trump “a con artist” during a round of morning television interviews. “His more realistic strategy then would be to deny Mr. Trump a majority and hope to win at a contested convention”.
