Christie Told Newspaper He Would Never Endorse Trump
Chris Christie’s biggest break in the New Hampshire primary came when the only statewide paper, the Union Leader, endorsed him. In part, the paper said, it was to save the country from the egregious Donald Trump, whom it compared to the bullying mogul “Biff” in “Back to the Future.” .
The Union Leader’s endorsement didn’t save Christie from a poor showing in the Feb. 8 primary and the New Jersey governor withdrew. But politico.com reports that the day after the primary, publisher Joe McQuaid heard a rumor that Christie was going to endorse Trump and called the governor to ask him about it. Christie responded that. “He said, ‘No, no, I would never do that,’” McQuaid told Politico. “[Christie] told me to tell the other guy to ‘take his head out of his ass’ for saying he would support Trump.”
As the Knight Templar said in “Indiana Jones and the Holy Grail”: He chose poorly.
