I’m not sure that the no nonsense-looking waitress watching his conversation with John Harwood agreed, Save Jerseyans, but Chris Christie‘s message from New Hampshire was loud and clear this morning: Donald Trump wouldn’t make a good nominee… or president. In his opinion.
“The math doesn’t support Donald’s position,” Christie said at Lindy’s Diner in Keene, New Hampshire, referring to Trump’s border wall-centric immigration position. The New Jerseyans is an immigration moderate/centrist/whatever, recently spiking driver’s licences for illegals but after having signed into law a New Jersey DREAM Act.
“It’s not just about growth. You still have to deal with the facts,” he continued.
Christie also took issue with the applicability of the Donald’s business skills to the job of a successful nominee:
Not everyone agrees. At the moment, Trump leads Christie by 20-points in the Granite State.
The Donald, for his part, didn’t respond directly but issued a general reaction to GOP critics earlier Wednesday via Twitter not long after the Christie interview aired:
So many people who know nothing about me are commenting all over T.V. and the media as though they have great D.J.T. insight. Know NOTHING!

Both men are expected to be included in next week’s prime time Fox News debate… so we’ve got that to look forward to…

Trump is number one in branding and CC is a rank amateur. Cecil the lion gets more attention than CC and he is dead!
So branding, marketing, public speaking and being a CEO is not transferable to government? THAT is the PROBLEM with government!

Trump is talking about issues that REAL ordinary Americans care about. Candidates from all parties could learn from him.
Both are better than the crook Hitlery Rotten.
I will not vote for Jeb, soooo
I believe there are MANY other candidates for the office. No need to limit the discussion to just these 2.
Uh oh. Not wise. Matt????

You should have asked “Christie or Hillary”, that would be tougher.
Who is Christie?
Trump all the way unless he sticks with palin.
Trump.

Christie can say all he wants about Trump but he is still the favorite in the polls so far and considering Christie’s dismal record in NJ I am not surprised. Voters in New Hampshire be smart vote for anyone other than Christie.
