Gov. Chris Christie’s endorsement of Donald Trump is giving many people in New Jersey indigestion, but none more than former Gov. Christie Whitman, a Republican who has watched her party drift rightward in horror for the last decade. He called me two days after the [New Hampshire] primary and said, I was just hold that you’re about to endorse Donald Trump.

At this point Christie recalls that Trump began to suck his soul before stashing it in his toupee.
“The only choice was Donald Trump”, Christie said in a news conference before his rally Friday afternoon in Fort Worth, Texas. “That’s of course what they’re going to say”, Christie said.
Christie, whose stunning endorsement of Trump on Friday has shaken up the 2016 race, was accused of breaking a vow that he would never back Trump by the publisher of New Hampshire’s largest newspaper.
On Saturday evening, Mr Trump’s social media director Dan Scavino tweeted that Mr Trump had told Mr Christie “to go home (as was planned) to be with family tonight”. When asked how, Christie replied, “He’s going to have to answer that question, and he will”. He was, in a way, the precursor to Trump but without the deadly implications.

Reports suggest that on Saturday Mr Trump had arrived together in Millington, Tennessee on the billionaire’s plane, walked off to loud cheers, and then Mr Christie introduced the man whom he only a year ago said was unsuitable to be president. “And he’s dead wrong now”.
