Christie traded barbs with Trump on the presidential primary campaign trail months ago, but when he dropped out after poor showings in the early nominating contests, the New Jersey governor quickly endorsed his longtime friend.

At the armory event, Trump read off a piece of paper listing some of Christie’s achievements, such as contributing the most money into the public employee pension fund and bringing the unemployment insurance account into solvency. “Tell you what, if you can make it in New Jersey, you can do just about anything you want in life”. But Trump repeatedly reminded the audience and Christie of who was top dog.
“He can say whatever he wants to say”, she said, later adding that if “you pick a fight with a bully, you know, you are going to be pulled down to their levels”.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and New Jersey governor Chris Christie greet the crowd as they attend a fundraising event in Lawrenceville, New Jersey on May 19, 2016.
Donald Trump is fully convinced that the missing EgyptAir plane that was downed last night was “blown out of the sky” – and he says “you’re 100 percent wrong” if you don’t.
The fundraiser was Trump’s first public event in over a week.
Unfortunately, the United States would fall into recession, too. “We are going to build that wall”.
But for Trump to be successful, he’ll have to win over those voting for Clinton or Sanders.
Protesters nearby carried signs like “women against Trump” and “veterans against Trump”. Some screamed “dump Trump”. But he didn’t and so now, like the governor, she backs Trump.
But none of it seemed to bother the likely Republican nominee, who called Clinton’s track record “worse than anybody else running has ever done”. “And we’re going to have people come into our country, but they’re going to come into our country legally”.
Inside the hall Trump was greeted by an enthusiastic crowd, many of high school and college age and many more in red hats featuring the slogan of his campaign, “Make America great again”.
He exited the stage just as he entered it, shaking hands and taking pictures with supporters as a 1990s dance song asked, “Y’all ready for this?”
Longtime Chris Christie supporter Shirley Force of Union City said she wished Christie would have won.
“The kind of positions he is stating and the consequences of those positions and even the consequences of his statements are potentially unsafe”, Clinton said in an exclusive interview with CNN’s Chris Cuomo.

“He tells it like it is”. They said Christie became an opportunist the second he bowed out of the race.
