Without intent to overdo it, here are some “complaints” about Trump and Rubio from each camp, including commentary about the reasons for Christie’s endorsement of Trump..
Christie Endorsement Payback to Rubio for Attacks
Chris Christie’s endorsement Friday of Donald Trump was payback for Marco Rubio’s bitter attacks on the New Jersey governor during the Republican presidential campaign — particularly in New Hampshire, where a pro-Rubio super PAC’s assaults on Christie were so fierce that he finished sixth in the primary race.
“This is payback in that sense,” pollster Matt Towery told Newsmax in an interview. “There’s no love lost between Christie and Rubio.
“This was a counter-move,” he added. “This was a move to counter whatever attention Rubio might’ve picked up [Thursday] that is a mark of a master strategist. . . .
The New York billionaire . . . unleashed a raw assault on Rubio, who tore after him during the Republican debate the night before in Houston. . . .
“This is a low-life,” Trump said of Rubio before bashing Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who also slammed him on Thursday.
“Cruz lies, but at least it’s reasonable lies,” Trump said. . . .
Towery told Newsmax Friday that, while Christie’s endorsement could be seen as payback, it most likely reflected insight into a possible Trump administration.
“You don’t think that Donald Trump is going to be looking at Chris Christie to potentially be the next attorney general of the United States?” he asked. “I’m not saying that a deal like that has been cut, but I’m saying that’s far more likely.
“For Christie, this is a great opportunity,” he added. “He’s not going to get anything from Marco Rubio. He’s not going to get anything from Ted Cruz — and the probability that either one of those is going to be the nominee has dropped substantially.
Marvelous, just marvelous. There are a lot more barroom slams quoted in the article.
