ELIZABETH Gov. Chris Christie said Friday that Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump's prediction of "riots" if he was denied the Republican nomination through backroom maneuvering at the party's convention in Cleveland this summer was just colorful speech, and not to be taken literally.
Speaking to reporters at a press conference a in Elizabeth on Friday morning the governor sought to translate the latest Trump-ism.
"I don't think he meant literal 'riots,'" Christie told reporters at Trinitas Regional Medical Center. "I think he meant political riots. If someone goes in with the most delegates, with the most votes, and then they're denied the nomination by what they consider to be political insiders, I think there will be real upset at that convention."
Trump, who currently has 678 delegates of the needed 1,237 delegates to cinch the Republican nomination, was asked by CNN on Wednesday about what would happen if he fell a hundred votes or so short of the threshold to become his party's nominee.

This is interesting because it demonstrates how far into desperation Christie has fallen. Here he attempts to create a little bridge walkway between the literal and the figurative-, figuratively what he is doing is trying to create a fix on crutch,kind of like a little band aid ! This is the kind of bull shit that worked well for Christie in those town hall meets. Christie would make himself out to seem sincerely believable and his small audiences just loved to nibble on the bait. Anybody that thinks can figure clearly that Christie has no idea at all what is a so called political riot literally or figuratively in comparison to a riot in all that it means literally or figuratively. And he was afraid to say the word which is revolt. Concepts been around since the fifties. Riot- political riot ,so he is saying he thinks Trumps supporters will revolt. And how revolting !
It's very easy to see why it is those Bushy's made Christie. Yes Christie became a made man. And now Trump has all the goods on just what that master plan was. And that's the bill of goods.
The question is will Trump dump Christie before Christie does it again ? There were those in the know in New Jersey that knew Christie who is his own worst enemy will be the cause of his political down fall. One guy knew it all along but couldn't believe it all happened so fast ! How fast is Trump !!!!! Christie doesn't like to fallow a script ,and he still sees himself as top dog in New Jersey where he's his own boss.
It's all about the bill of goods. And that bill of goods to
Christie is his life line.
Oh, but figuratively of course in political context !

ETA: Trump supporters will start fights inside the convention hall and outside should it be a brokered convention.
I hope Cleveland is prepared for any and all outcomes.

(160,516 posts)It takes a Christie to explain Trump to the world.
You can count on Christie to get it right.

Christie will get dumped not long after the New Jersey primary.

(3,426 posts)The people of New Jersey were telling the country Christie is all your's ,we don't want him. Others were saying Christie stay home do your job you are a truant.
Christie said they are saying that because they love me and they want to stay and run for a third term.
The word Christie was afraid to say is revolt and it is a happening thing.

Got to hand it to Christie ,even though he could not or would not see it, still he had to get out in front of it.
He just can't see it, people are figuratively having a riot as in having fun fun fun revoliting against Trump !
The saying as it goes ,it has to get worse before it gets better- it's getting better !

(3,426 posts)is all about how it is he was made by the Bush admin. You may or may not care to remember Christie's claim that he was appointed just prior to 9/11 2001- a day or two before. It seems there is no paper trail available to confirm Christie's claim. But he maintained he got the word straight from the top and assumed power by appointment.That appointment eventually lead to Christie becoming governor of New Jersey which was part of the package.
Than came hurricane sandy ,leading to George Washington bridge gate and Christie's rapid decline which by the way was inevitable because Christie is his own worst enemy.
Christie than betrayed his party and threw in with Trump.Trump believes he is invincible ,actually Hitler thought he was too- refer the attempts to kill him by his own inner circle.When Trump said, he could shoot somebody in the street in NYC and he wouldn't lose a vote. So trump believes there is no way Christie can do any damage to Trumps ambitions.Christie is a pariah from hell ,where's he at sum 28%, he can't ever carry New Jersey. So vp is out. And Christie is just a sell out. Part of Trumps act ,a side show, a novelty.
But the Bill Of Goods- there is a bit of gem a in that package for Trump who is running as an outsider. Christie is addicted to those camera's , he likes being a star attraction ,he can't help it when he thinks he's on show ,it has to be about him. Sooner or later Christie will over step his boundaries at a Trumpathon ,he will go for it, you know like an actor that steals the scene or the show-,he'll just go off , and won't even realize it until the deed goes down.
That's because he has his own way of looking at things, his own way of seeing things and he can convince himself of anything inside his protective bubble- a place where he sees himself as being everything he wish's to be. He's safe in there ! All of his type are safe in those bubbles, unless of course they are confronted with the truth of matter !
In South Carolina the entire Bush family was there, and they all went home and Jeb Bush bowed out of the race. And Trump,he's the lose cannon with total control of the Christie bill of goods. Oh ya, a whipped dog Christie is but he wants relevance so bad he'll be that dog.
It's hard to say exactly what the deal is between Trump and Christie, but if there is a gain in it ,the gain is Trumps end of it, and Christie, if he's lucky,Trump might just throw him bone.
He will serve his master .
Christie has his debts to pay too, that's another issue,oh yes he's not getting off scott free !
The GOP power mongers see Christie as a turn coat !
You know Christie had his operation ,he's got half a stomach now, and after all he's done for it, to just be cast off into irrelevancy just doesn't cut it. He's got all his chips on the table now and he's betting it all !
He doesn't know he is his own worst enemy.
Over and over we keep reading about the end in sight to the Trump rise. They see the end ! I see it as a total surprise,something completely unforeseen. Something crazy as hell like a bridgegate thing of sort ! But than there is Cruz and who ever else those gop'ers will force down on it. On the bright side maybe the grand old party will just implode and be gone forever.
Make no mistake there is a storm coming and it will hit hard.
