Donald Trump on Saturday morning told “Fox and Friends” that he was “honored” to have New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie endorse him.
“Everybody wanted Chris,” Trump said. “Chris called up out of the blue and said, ‘You’re the one that’s going to win.'”
“He’s the one endorsement to me that really meant a lot,” Trump added.
Trump contrasted Christie’s endorsement with the typical process he’s experienced in receiving endorsements. He was asked if voters should expect to see more big endorsements soon.
“Frankly, sometimes they want have dinner, and ‘Let’s get together for two hours,’ and ‘Let’s go to a movie together,'” Trump said in response, describing what typically happens when people want to endorse him. “It’s too much work.”
“And I’m not sure what endorsements mean,” he added. “I’ve never really understood it.”
TPM:
“With Chris,” Trump said, “We just jumped over all that. We got together for 10 minutes, I wrote him a check for $600k, and that was it. Wham, bam, thank you, ma’am! No muss, no fuss.”
In other words, Wasilla Kardashian was a demanding bitch. “Respect you in the morning? Hell, I don’t respect you now.”
So Krispy had to buy his own donuts?
All of this on the Republican side, except for Kasich, a tasteless joke in these dangerous days. Unworthy sequel to Jackass. Trump and Rubio nothing but college sophomores throwing food at each other in the fraternity dining room. The name-calling, shouting over each other, and smirking makes them look like young children. They probably both still wet their pants. Does their slapshtick comedy truly deserve so much serious coverage? This is no argument for Cruz; he never even got into the fraternity because he was seen as treacherous and nasty. Each of these one of these candidates is in his own way mean-spirited, incompetent, untrustworthy. Truly dangerous. Little men with megaphones, none of them measure up to the challenges of our times, ready to lead our nation. Seriously, is this truly the best the Republican Party can offer to our nation?
It’s obvious that Trump hasn’t really thought ahead to what the Presidency involves if he thinks spending a few hours to gain an endorsement is “too much work”.
