I'm not a fan of Chris Christie, but Trump is a moron for attacking a guy who is at 3% just because a newspaper endorsed him. Also, Chris Christie is a better Governor than Trump was running casinos.

I was so disappointed that this headline wasn't "Trump goes after Christianity"

That would've been a real FF headline, but this is good too, much as I love Chris, my home state does not. Very accurate!

Smart move though as Christie is the real long-term threat unlike Marco Rubio.

Trump is a f@$*#?! %#$ hole! He's like a bad virus, he needs to be flushed and soon. Having that degenerate low-life within breathing distance of the White House is certainly pause for concern, the @#$ hole stupid A@$ low information moronic imbeciles need to have there voting rights rescinded.  There idea of reading,  is the national enquirer and going for dinner at the local fast food joint. There brains are empty and vacuous.

I'm certainly okay with less GOP showing up to the polls, but please be reminded that whatever cuck nominee you pick, will almost certainly lose the election without them.

I congratulate you on catching Limbaugh's "Trump Derangement Syndrome".

Trump attacking Christie legitimizes Christie, and if Christie increases in support, it likely comes at the expense Rubio/Bush/Kasich/Fiorina. Seems like a good plan to me.

Yeah. It's funny because political amateurs, who have CONSISTENTLY been wrong this entire election season, think TRUMP is being stupid or foolish going down this route, but TRUMP, the once in a generation political genius that he is, is just playing at a level far beyond what these unnamed fools (like dudeabides) can even comprehend.

If TRUMP really wanted to destroy Christie he would (see his takedowns of Walker, Carson, Jeb, Fiorina). But this is a (purposefully) very weak attack; it's clear that he just wants to add to Christie's momentum and extend his media coverage to prevent a Rubio surge in New Hampshire.

Trump: "That Jesus guy, I mean I'm not saying that he was a LOSER, but, come on, why didn't he take up arms and just shoot those Romans and Jews to at least defend himself? Ok, I guess they didn't have guns yet, but if he was the son of God, he should have known how to create a gun, or just wish it into being, right? Or use a bow and arrow like Orlando Bloom. I mean, he did turn water into wine after all, he could have turned sticks into guns or bows-and-arrows. I do give him credit for the wine, I do give him credit for that. Lots of credit, believe me. But many people have told me, hundreds of people have told me, why did Jesus refuse to defend himself, like a wimp? Now, I'm not calling Jesus a wimp, or a loser, or a dirt-poor hippie, I'm really religious, you won't believe how religious I am, but HUNDREDS of people have told me this, and there's definitely something fishy going on there."

Chris Christie is no threat.

Leave it at Rubio and you've got the correct answer .

EDIT: Probably Kasich too for NH at least .

Christie can't even keep his ISIS-loving Muslim Garden Staters in line.

I have no idea what sort of President Trump would be.  However, I am certain that he is smarter about POLITICS than any of these others.  Why else is he able to tie them in knots and stay on top in the polls?

I'm officially undecided on the 2016 Presidential race, but aren't the assertions that Trump is going to implode, doesn't know what he's doing, not "in it to win it", etc. kind of ridiculous at this point?  Trump is not only "in it to win it", but he's energized the "paleoconservatives" of the GOP in a way that they have not been energized in years.  And he has CORRECTLY discerned that this "I'm going to be a uniter!" line is silly and meaningless.  We are a very divided nation with very distinct National and World views held by liberals and conservatives.  There are fewer moderates than ever, and less common ground between the parties than ever.  Trump recognizes the "Us vs. Them" nature of today's politics, and before one criticizes him for this, one needs only to consider that Hillary Clinton is doing exactly the same.

I don't know how "religious" Trump really is.  But I think he's smart enough to realize that the Gospel is about Jesus WILLINGLY dying for a sinful world as the ONLY acceptable sacrifice for the sin of the world.  And Trump, FWIW, respects the religious beliefs of his supporters.  One reason I have trouble with the idea of voting Democratic, despite being a former Democratic Party activist, is the Democrats' contempt for Biblical Christianity and its adherents.

"So, he's some sort of hero because he allowed himself to be captured and nailed to a cross? I like guys who don't get captured, ok?"

[Fuzzy Bear]

"So, he's some sort of hero because he allowed himself to be captured and nailed to a cross? I like guys who don't get captured, ok?"

He's a hero; in fact, he's THE HERO, because after dying, he gained the keys to death, Hell, and the grave from Satan, then rose again.  His death on the Cross provided sufficient sacrifice for the remission of every sin that will ever be committed.  In His death and resurrection, Christ overcame the entire World.  I think that's a pretty good 3 days work, eh?

Eh, Best 3 days of work until Trump gets that beautiful wall built maybe.

I get that, but I'll use an opening to share the Good News.

Ah my friend, that's the benefit of being endowed with a university and graduate school education, you know a lot more and can help those less unfortunate souls the error of there ways and show them how stupid they really are😊 being enlightened has its benefits,  but it can be a burden.  You know that don't you.
