Here, this is what I've got for you, ASSHOLE:

Chris Christie’s moment has passed, whether he knows it or not

Chris Christi is the last guy who should be talking about taking on Donald Trump.

The former New Jersey governor failed to do so in 2016 when he as a presidential candidate had the opportunity in the GOP presidential primary.

Now contemplating another run for president, Christie wants a do over, telling Republicans he wants to do to Trump what he did to Florida Sen. Marco Rubio back then.

In Christie’s telling, his mockery of Rubio back then forced Rubio to drop out of the crowded field of GOP presidential candidates.

”You better have somebody on that stage who can do to [Trump] what I did to Marco because that’s the only thing that’s going to defeat Donald Trump,” Christie said.

Christie, one of the party’s bright stars back then, was highly critical of Rubio, who he saw a potential threat saying, among other things, that Rubio had no substance.

Christie, who is contemplating running for president again, made his remarks at a St. Anselm College Institute of Politics town meeting last week.

After dumping on Rubio, Christie, known for his New Jersey bluster, went after Trump. He said that in order to take down Trump a candidate needed “to have the skill to do it.

“And that means you have to be fearless because he will come right back at you. So you need to think about who’s got the skill to do that. And who’s got the guts to do it. Because it’s not going to end nicely. No matter what, his end will not be calm and quiet.”

Christie trading insults with Trump is like a New Jersey wiseguy going after a wiseguy from Queens, even after Trump was indicted on dubious and politically tainted charges. I’d bet on Trump, despite the indictment.

While Rubio did drop out of the 2016 race shortly after the New Hampshire GOP presidential primary, so didn’t Christie.

Trump won that primary with 35% of the vote. Rubio came in fifth and Christie came in sixth.

Christie, who would “take on” Trump in 2024, endorsed and campaigned for him in 2016. Looking back Christie called his support of Trump “a strategic error.”

Unmentioned was that many people, including Christie, expected that Trump would reward Christie with a cabinet appointment, perhaps attorney general, or Secretary of Homeland Security or ambassador to Italy. It did not happen.

As it was, Trump named Christie as head of his transition team but shortly fired him for alleged mismanagement and the lingering fallout from the so-called Bridgegate scandal. He replaced him with Vice President-Elect Mike Pence.

Trump, or his advisers, were apparently concerned over the conviction of two top aides to then Gov. Christie for shutting down the George Washington Bridge to punish a political opponent and the city he represented.

Christie, who avoided attacking Trump back then, now appears to suffer from what the late great columnist Charles Krauthammer in French used to call esprit de l’escalier, or “the wit of the staircase.”

This is a dig or a retort or a remark a person thinks about after the opportunity—or debate–has passed and he is on the way out the door. That’s Chris Christie.

And Chris Christie must be the least of Trump’s worries. Nor is Trump worried about Nikki Haley, his former UN ambassador, or with entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, the only two announced candidates running against Trump, who has already announced.

Waiting in the wings, of course, is Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Mike Pompeo, Trump’s former secretary of state, Mike Pence, his former vice president, and who knows who else.

All of them in one way or another, owe Trump. And there is probably no way any one of them can take down Trump and survive. Trump and his base are too strong for that.

The only man who can wreck Donald Trump is Donald Trump.

But Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s political and pathetic Trump indictment has made Trump even stronger. Consider it a campaign contribution.

And by the way- hey, Asa Hutchinson? Instead of telling Donald Trump he needs to drop out of the race, here's an idea for you: YOU drop out of the race, because you have as much chance of securing the nomination as I do. You just tend to your own business, and go fuck yourself.

He barely qualifies as a Republican cheerleader, agree, zero chance of any nomination.

He should play the cards to work in an administration, if he wanted part of the action. Qualified or not, wouldn’t be worse than some we have now.

He’s delusional, no doubt.

He thinks he’s relevant. His value died when he hugged Obama just like Romney’s value did when he threw the election to Obama.

"Mugshotted." Ha, get a clue, dickhead. Just wait until that image ends up on a t-shirt. I can't wait to buy one.

I know the Herald leans somewhat right, but it's still Boston MA, so it's pretty amazing that all of that was published in the Boston Herald, especially considering it's all about Trump!

There was a time this guy showed some promise. Back when he was Gov of NJ he was being criticized by Warren Buffet for lowering taxes. Christie's response was Warren Buffet should shut up and write a check.

His family probably got to him. Metro New York area is huge Dem country and they were probably tired of being excluded. He probably thought things would change if he switched sides.

Only now everybody hates him...

Chris Christie is a weasel, with delusions of grandeur, over-estimating his value. Christie got sand in his vagina because:

1.he thought he was going to be chosen as Trump's V.P, and

2.he was demoted from head of the Trump transition team to a mere vice chair after Trump exploded, finding out Christie had a bunch of lobbyists lined up for cabinet positions.

Christie wore out his welcome in Trump's WH, even though Christie truly believes that HE made Trump, and is pissed nobody sees this . Early in his governorship, he came off as a fearless maverick, but in the end, he's just another sleazeball politician.

remember when they
closed a beach just for him....

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there's $$$$ in them there primaries. Chris Christie can't get over being irrelevant.

He is a Useful Idiot that is hoping to avoid the same fate of so many Useful Idiots that came before him.

Yep. He's not in any danger of winning the Republican nomination. He's not that stupid. He's going on This Week on ABC for purely selfish reasons. Exposure = opportunity to make money.

Hard to forget how he was walking around with his nose up Obama's rear end years ago. He's been irrelevant for years now.

Christie should forget watching politics and watch his diet.

Christie - I agree with the self serving blowhard assessment. He did a couple good things as Governor and had some amusing sound bites but that is all. He is spent political capital, that is either delusional or he has worked out some financial angle in a candidacy.

He's just hangry.

I can't think of ANY RINO who isn't a loudmouthed, self-serving ASSHOLE!

He is irrelevant and just wants to get some exposure. Not much different than Brittney Spears.

There's a male Politician in that photo?

Christie is basically a house servant at this point. I guess he qualifies as a Republican, but just barely. The other Republicans loathe him and he's much more comfortable on the Sunday morning news programs making the Democrats chuckle.
