Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a longtime leader in the conservative political movement, tweeted Friday that the GOP establishment should see that it is inevitable that Donald Trump will be the party’s presidential nominee.

Gingrich’s tweets came shortly after New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) endorsed Trump at a Texas press conference. Gingrich said Christie’s endorsement would be a “huge step” as Super Tuesday voting approaches next week.

    Another awesomely bad TPM headline.

  2. Chris Christie endorsement of Trump is a major breakthrough.this is a huge step for Trump and will impact super tuesday bug time.

    See, Trump has the misspelled Tweet vote locked up.

    Wonder if Rubio is going to go jihad on the author of the Contract on America for his social media spelling skills?

    The only people that will be influenced by the Xtie endorsement will be the people in line at Krispie Kream.

    Merriam-Webster?

  5. Gingrich’s name misspelled too. TPM’s proofreaderlessness is becoming self-parodic.
