this. that makes chris christie stand out. makes him different from the rest of the field not wanting to be there with someone like donald trump. at the same time, there s a risk factor in all of this. other candidates like donald trump himself have had to answer for this. you know, iowa is known as a place where you have to earn caucus support. i can see others attacking him for not atenneding because we know these events are crucial in terms of building a support base and caucus goers, their support. however, it mittly chris christie has a different goal in mind than these candidates. he s very much on a mission to make him the anti-trump candidates to create that contrast. he s certainly has so far.
proceed to trial before he would or would not become president. these cases take years. the classified protection act is a laborious process. jack smith made an interesting decision. he superseded two days ago to add a defendant, which may strengthen his case against donald trump but will slow it down. i didn t think would have a chance to get to trial by may of next year anyway. certainly don t when you add defendants. new lawyers that have to get clearances, have to have access, have to fight over the classified documents, what neil: would that be a security risk? mike pompeo has raised that as a hazard. not weighing in on the legitimacy of the claims or not, sir. would that be a security risk? to have a president bedevilled by that kind of thing should hi assume office? well, you know, we ve got
could be looking up like planes at la guardia. the fact of the matter is, he could have acquired all the delegates that he needs. by that point, those candidates, the party itself, would have to rally around donald trump, right? well, it could happen. but it won t. it won t. this is a soap opera. the only thing worse than a boring soap opera is? the rerun. that s what trump is. it s the same drama over and over again. when are again. what are we going to have the time for you and the other folks on television, the media to talk about inflation, to talk about who is hurting this country and border security and draining the swamp and fiscal responsibility come all of the things we are supposed to get with the former trump administration and we got nothing. by clearing the decks a bit, and allows republicans to focus on the things we need to to win in 24. that s all that matters, winning in november 24 is all that matters. neil: chris christie didn t address whether donald trump
i think you said much the same, governor. there should be a weeding out process and maybe it happens in february, around the new hampshire primary. even governor christie himself where he placed all of his marbles back in that in 2016 and didn t do well. he placed sixth in your state and opted out of the race. that mitt romney wants to see the same thing so that everyone can coalesce around one or two alternatives to donald trump. what do you think of that and who might those individuals be? you definitely need to coalesce around one candidate opposite the former president. the fact is, the former president is polling 40% in new hampshire. 60% of the most hardcore based republicans don t want the guy. so on a one-on-one race, that s the path to victory. you ll see about three phases weaning down. there s three or four candidates that don t qualify for the
running from president. you know, old guy. for that matter, donald trump right now. there is a sense depending on the individual, i know where you re coming from, maybe that that is in order. there should be a competencesive test. maybe it extends to people younger. how do you feel about that? i don t think we need a competency test to know that joe biden is no longer competent to be president of the united states. you can see it every day. when you fall asleep in the oval office while the whole media is watching in a chair across from the president of israel, i don t think need to wonder whether joe biden is competent to be president of the united states. i don t think we need him to take a medical test. in the same way as donald trump shows his continued anger and selfishness and petulence. 70% of the american people say they don t want this matchup to be donald trump against joe biden. two guys that on election day, a combined 160 years old.
