Heterodox, Northeast Republican, terrorism-overreacting bully endorses heterodox, Northeast Republican, terrorism-overreacting bully. I expect the Giuliani endorsement in the next down news cycle. ---

Nah, Giuliani is a nobody at this point. The only thing Trump would get with a Giuliani endorsement is peals of belly laughter from every politician, political pundit and reporter. ---

The only thing Trump would get with a Giuliani endorsement is peals of belly laughter from every politician, political pundit and reporter. I was half-joking, but I don’t actually think it’s unlikely. Derision from politicians, political pundits and reporters is what makes Trump stronger. He shoots up establishment derision like Stallone shoots steroids. ---

> [@doorhinge](#): > > I’m shocked, SHOCKED that a politician would endorse another politician. What’s this world coming to??? I like the “OMG Remember when Politician A said that Politician B wasn’t as qualified as he was to be president when they were both running??” reports. Really? A few weeks ago Christie said that Trump shouldn’t be president but that Christie should? Wow, that’s just amazing. ---

One’s from NYC and the other is from NJ. This doesn’t sound like a balanced ticket. Or have they crossed over to “Fuck You, America, We Don’t Care Anymore” territory? ---

Christie just jumped to the winning team. Why the hell should we assume he’s getting the VP slot? His selection doesn’t make sense from any strategic pov I can imagine. ---

> [@CarnalK](#): > > Christie just jumped to the winning team. Why the hell should we assume he’s getting the VP slot? His selection doesn’t make sense from any strategic pov I can imagine. Christie is looking for continued relevance after his term concludes, and Trump is looking for assistance in smacking down Rubio and Cruz. ---

> [@Onomatopoeia](#): > > Christie is looking for continued relevance after his term concludes, and Trump is looking for assistance in smacking down Rubio and Cruz. Why does Trump care what Christie wants and Trump doesn’t need assistance. In case you haven’t noticed, he seems poised to crush them like bugs. ---

> [@CarnalK](#): > > Why does Trump care what Christie wants and Trump doesn’t need assistance. In case you haven’t noticed, he seems poised to crush them like bugs. He does need props though. He just turned the weekend news cycle away from getting gang bashed at last night’s debate to the Christie endorsement. I really would love it if Trump is a decent person underneath who’s steals the election by wearing wolf’s clothing, but he has probably reached the point where he can never remove those clothes. ---

God’s a big boy, he can handle minor insults like this - not that I would regard it as an insult to Christianity.

Ya takes yer advantages where and when ya can. Christie is a really good attack dog, which is something Trump appreciates.
