Christie Helping Trump Prepare for Next Debate

Sources tell NBC News that Gov. Chris Christie is taking on an expanded role in the debate prep.

“That makes sense, given his unique strengths in the town hall format; Christie racked up dozens of them when he decamped to New Hampshire during his primary run.”

First Read: “RNC chair Reince Priebus is also helping to honcho these prep sessions, which are ‘significantly smaller’ than they used to be. Who’s missing? Gen. Mike Flynn, for one, along with Gen. Keith Kellogg, who have been sidelined to try and keep Trump focused.”

I thought he was going to "coach" Trump. I'm sure that would help a lot.

First off , I feel completely energized after having fronted my unseemly presence at the Mets game-see me below at the game



: } Well you know I had a sudden brain storm at the game -you see I was thinking about the pitcher /batter situation where it is the batter really must keep his eye on the ball in order to make that hit with all the greatness there is to be had.
Well you know I thought about me and the Donald and the upcoming debate ,and do you know it suddenly dawned on me, I am the pitcher and the Donald is the batter -it is I who must prepare the Donald to trump it down on the ball. I even thought a name for the game plan ,I call it dollars to doughnuts- the dollars Trump likes and the doughnuts ha ha, revenge is sweet ! I'll have the Donald in a little room, about like that little closet they stuck me in at my last debate performance prior to my having been knocked out of the race !!!

I'll tell the Donald he must keep his eye on the doughnut through every word I speak during the preparatory secession's.,Oops,I meant sessions : },must be them tea believers. No more oreo cookies ,ha ha, my ass ,doughnuts are king ! This is my opportunity to ram rod in on Trump but good, ,he's mine !
I'll own him in that little room !

But there is a golden lining in it for Trump- I will teach him the art of going off on yer opponent on stage at just the right moment ,saving it all up just for that moment. It's the restraint part I'll have a terrible time with. Actually I have been agonizing over that part in it. But at the game I had the epiphany, all he has to do is keep his eye on the doughnut and keep his mouth shut while I'm doing all the talking ,sit back and absorb ,chew the fat as the saying goes !

Dollars to doughnuts folks -after this Trump is either In Like Flynn or he's down in the dumps Trump. It's all up to me now !

Chris here-over and out ! : } By the way I have a bridge I would love to unload if anybody knows of interested parties looking for a good deal !

: } And one more thing- on the Bruce issue- we can't be friends anymore therefore I have no further use of him ,we stand united on the issue


Here it is Bruc'ee ,a good old fashion springshot for you !

14. The biggest thing we have to remember...

is that it doesn't matter who helps him prep, it's not going to work. Trump simply does not have the wherewithal to handle the fact, the situation, or his behavior.

Yes, Christie has done well in town hall formats. He is also an attorney and, whether we like it or not, could finesse a room when absolutely necessary. Trump does not have this ability. He has gotten by with inherited money and unscrupulous business tactics.

I have no doubt he'll fail BIGLY!
