Just skewers Christie as a hypocrite.
....
Stunning: Christie's endorsement of Trump certainly shocked the political world on Friday both because it hadn't leaked in advance and because it so directly contradicted the main themes of Christie's campaign. Christie's case to voters was a simple one: We are in perilous times, facing crises that demand responses from serious leaders who will speak about our challenges with urgency and candor. His campaign focused on national security and the entitlements that are driving the country further and further into debt.
Christie has spent years blasting politicians – Republicans and Democrats – for ignoring the entitlement crisis, accusing them of lacking the will to tackle hard problems. In a speech on entitlement reform last April, Christie said the Obama administration "has put us on a perilous course for both our short-terms and long-term futures" because of its "unwillingness to address our biggest challenges in an honest way" and its refusal to "tell the truth about what we need to do in order to solve our problems." Trump's approach to entitlements is indistinguishable from Obama's.
Christie strongly defended George W. Bush and the policies that kept America "safe for those seven years." His campaign promised to restore most of them. Writing in Slate in December, Jim Newell wrote under the headline, "The Dream of the George W. Bush Presidency is Alive in Chris Christie." He wrote: "There is a fourth Bush running for president now, and his name is Chris Christie… Christie sounds more like a George W. Bush–era Republican than even Jeb Bush, and Jeb Bush sounds exactly like a George W. Bush–era Republican."
With his endorsement of Trump, Christie has chosen to support a man who: a) believes that George W. Bush should have been impeached, b) believes that Bush and his colleagues deliberately lied to take the country into an illegitimate war, c) has propagated unfounded conspiracy theories about 9/11 and its aftermath. (Given Trump's false claims that "thousands" of New Jersey residents celebrated those attacks in the streets, Christie is embracing a man who has slandered the residents of his own state, a particularly disgraceful reality).
Christie further argued
one of the top priorities of any new administration would be restoring a proper understanding of allies and enemies – and treating them accordingly. "Our willingness to stand with those who share our values and interests," Christie says, "defines us as a country." He adds: "We need to make it clear to our friends and allies that we stand with them in the cause of freedom, and against all the gathering threats."
The same man who said these things endorsed Trump just days after Trump literally announced that he would not stand with Israel in the cause of freedom and against the gathering threats. Trump said he would remain "neutral" between Israel, one of America's closest allies, and the Palestinians who have embraced terror as a legitimate tool against this ally.
Trump, of course, has aligned himself with Bashar Assad and praised Saddam Hussein as someone who liked to kill terrorists. Trump has also openly defended and praised Vladimir Putin, whom General Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has said presents the greatest threat to the United States, its interests, and allies. Trump's resolve on even the least controversial aspects of the war against jihadists -- not how to fight ISIS but whether to do so -- has corresponded with the prevailing sentiments of the day. In a September debate, he said we shouldn't be fighting ISIS. He later said we should "bomb the **** out of them."
Christie ran as the candidate who would finally bring a level of seriousness and urgency to national security and entitlements, what he described as our most pressing national problems. With his endorsement of Trump, Christie has embraced a candidate who knows very little about these issues and whose public pronouncements on them contradict virtually everything Christie emphasized during his unsuccessful presidential run.
Unsurprising: In retrospect, Chris Christie's endorsement of Trump should have been obvious. Christie had made clear over his long career that his long career was never so much about issues and policies as it was about Chris Christie. He would "tell it like it is" only insofar as doing so advanced Chris Christie.
