Christie Begins to Attack Trump

December 6, 2015 · 8:24 am ET · 12 Comments

“Add Chris Christie to the list of Republicans suddenly ready to engage Donald Trump,” Politico reports.

Said Chrisite: “We do not need reality TV in the Oval Office right now. President of the United States is not a place for an entertainer.”

“This type of overt criticism of the GOP poll leader is a departure for Christie, who has generally refrained from attacking Trump… Christie is walking something of a perilous path here. Trump has proudly touted the fact that whenever one of his Republican rivals has gone after him on the stump, that candidate’s poll numbers have dropped.”
