Washington Post ^ | February 26,2016 | Chris Cillizza

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie endorsed Donald Trump's presidential candidacy on Friday in Texas, a stunning development sure to add to the growing sense of inevitability around Trump's bid for the Republican nomination.

The only question anyone was asking in the wake of the endorsement was "why"? Or, more accurately, "WHY??!?" After all, Christie had savaged Trump as unelectable just a few weeks ago. So, why the abrupt about-face?

Makes sense to me. And I’m hard to make sense of.

Only if the Dewhurst Republicans in Texas coalesce behind Trump and boot Cruz back to Calgary.

I don’t think V.P. but I’ll bet Attorney General; Ben Carson, Surgeon General; John Kasich, Treasury; I don’t know who Trump will pick as V.P. but it will be someone that believes as he does, and will travel to foreign countries to represent Our Great Nation, with the same principles as Trump.

The Dewberry Texas Republicans are now coalescing behind CRuzio. Conservatives are backing Trump.

No one has a personal relationship with Donald Trump. One only bends over and grabs ones ankles.

He’s been mentioned for Veep....and also for AG. I heard he used to be a pretty good prosecutor. Trump will need a good one of those.

“That covered it?”

Nope, I suspect it is more like this:

1. Trump is a force and now a political force in his area and state.

2. Trump is getting advice from Giuliani who like Christie is a former prosecutor and from that they may well have a relationship.

3. Of the remaining candidates Trump is the most like Christie.

4. Christie see Trump as the likely nominee and as we saw with Christie and Obama, Christie is a suck up.

Christie wants to be president. You don’t go from Attorney general to President; you go from Vice President to President. Attorney General is the end of the line.

Nothing makes sense from this rabid liberal rag, nothing. When it seems to make sense, they are fooling you. Pay no attention to the liberal buffoon behind the curtain, even one named Cillizza the gorilla.
