Former President Trump accused his GOP presidential primary opponent Chris Christie of costing 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney a chance at winning the presidency because of his collaboration with then-President Obama.
Trump said in a Truth Social post Tuesday that Christie, who was serving as the governor of New Jersey at the time, was “star struck” with Obama while they oversaw the state’s recovery from Hurricane Sandy. The hurricane, which overall caused billions of dollars of damage and killed hundreds inside and out of the United States, made landfall in late October 2012, just before the general election.

Yep. Romney just plain sucked - all by hissself.
I donated $$$ to that fool and he ran the lamest campaign since McCain.
Romney deserved to lose.
I refused to vote for Romney in 2012 and have zero regrets. I believe he would have been worse than Obama.
True. He threw it intentionally or because he’s stupid. That said, I wouldn’t vote for Chris Christie if he was running against Hunter Biden... (not a typo - Hunter...)
Mitt’s job was to block a conservative from getting the Republican nomination.
I remember the photo ops Christie provided for Obama to make him look statesmanlike.
Trump is correct about this. Christie behaved like a snake in meeting with Obama days before the 2012 election.
Romneys a lot of things but stupid ain’t one.
He threw the whole shootin’ match......the only question is why exactly.
I don’t see any reason why he would throw it to Obama... but it did happen. It was weird.
Since then I’ve been convinced romney isn’t even a rino.........I really believe he’s an out and out embedded spy for the democrat party......McCain....same same.
I remember that.
Is saying, “Trump is not wrong,” a grudging way of saying “Trump is right”?
Why is he praising Christie??
I voted for Romney because his economic plan and expertise were much better than obama’s!!
I was right, but it didn’t work anyway!!
And I would NEVER vote for Romney for anything in 2023 and beyond!!!!
Like the “It’s my turn finally!” Bob Dole candidacy of 1996?
Well the GOP definitely didn’t want Buchanan getting the nomination. If I recall I think Forbes was a decent candidate. But they gave it to Dole because they planned on losing and wanted to be nice to him.
Truth
Christie was angry that he had been overlooked by Romney for VP. I remember the glee he took in sticking it to Romney with his Obama photo op. We’re seeing his same sore loser mentality now being directed at Trump.
Sissy mud wrestling....Romney versus Christie
