A leftover from yesterday but still moist and tasty. This was one of two Sunday-show appearances Christie was supposed to do but he never made it over to CNN for his scheduled interview with Jake Tapper. How come? Watch and see. Having been torn apart once by Stephanopoulos for his hypocrisy in endorsing Trump, Christie may have decided not to give Tapper a second opportunity. He probably thought, not implausibly, that since Trump tends to get pattycake interviews in his media appearances, hed get the same treatment questions about why he chose Trump over Rubio, how significant his endorsement is in legitimizing Trump, whether he has his eye on a cabinet position, and so on. Imagine his surprise when Stephanopoulos came to play.

 

The key to appreciating this clip is to note how fundamental candidate Christies disagreements with Trump were.....................................(Snip)
