The Hill – Christie `absolutely’ believes he’d be president if Trump hadn’t run
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) said in a new interview he would have definitely won the 2016 presidential election if President Trump had not decided to run.
“I absolutely believe if Trump had not gotten into the race I think we would have won,” Christie told NJ.com’s Matt Arco in an interview published Sunday.
“It’s incredibly frustrating to think to yourself, ‘Wow, if this guy were not in the race, we’d win this thing,’ ” he said, while reportedly reflecting on internal polling from last year’s campaign.
Christie has lots of company on that last point – Cruz, Rubio, Kasich, Graham, etc.
As for now being President if Trump hadn’t been in the race, Crispie had his brain fried by getting within Trump’s orbit for months. Trump is contagious — others catch crazy and stupid from him. It increases the previous crazy and stupid in the victim. No evidence so far that anyone recovers from the infection.
