Chris Christie ‘turned over his political testicles,’ Ted Cruz manager says.....

Full Headline: Chris Christie ‘turned over his political testicles,’ Ted Cruz manager says, dismissing governor’s attack on senator

Ted Cruz’s campaign hit Chris Christie where it hurts.

The Texas senator’s campaign manager claimed the New Jersey Governor forked over his “political testicles” when he endorsed Donald Trump — a below-the-belt jab in response to Christie’s vicious Wednesday night attack on Cruz.

“That guy turned over his political testicles long ago,” Cruz boss Jeff Roe said on Philadelphia radio’s “The Chris Stigall Show” Thursday. “I don’t take what he has to say with any meaning. You know, he embarrassed himself pretty quickly in this.”

The quip, first reported by Buzzfeed News, came a day after Christie ripped into Cruz for his Wednesday night RNC speech — an address in which the one-time 2016 refused to endorse Trump.

“I think it was awful. And quite frankly, I think it was something selfish,” Christie told CNN after Cruz was booed off stage. “I think you saw at the end of the speech that the crowd was waiting for him to do the right thing and realized that he wasn't going to do it.”

None of them are afraid of their republican bagger crowd, they always mock them call them 'uneducated'(trump 2016) hobbits (McCain 2014)

It's something much bigger, Republicans are afraid of exposure.

Something's going on, I can tell. Don't you feel it?
It's the best, the greatest. Really the greatest.

The table is set, the candles are lit, the cake is refridgerated ...

Are Cruz forces going to try to pull something tonight?

The RIGHT thing? After someone insults your wife and father nationally?

So in his opinion the right thing to do is to grovel and say please sir can I have some more? And Republican voters agree with this? From a bully boy like Christie? What is wrong with these people!

says the man who refused to utter Romney's name during most of his own 2012 RNC speech!

<...>

...Several made eye-rolling references to what they regard as signs of the New Jersey governor’s considerable ego: The number of self-references in his address and an entourage of aides who they believe is too obviously trying to promote Christie fever for the future rather than help Republicans in 2012.

Sources close to Christie noted that Mitt Romney’s team saw the speech text about two weeks ago and barely changed a word, and thus had no standing to second-guess now.

In one prominent example of the poor reviews for Christie, Fox News anchor Chris Wallace noted how long it took for the speech to mention Romney and called it “the most curious keynote speech I have ever heard. … For a moment, I forgot who was the nominee of the party.”
