they re going into this debate. but rand paul isn t going to take any we ve seen the scuffup between paul and christie. with guys willing to go right back at you? do you want to be a guy taking on trump and christie? they ll go right back at you. it s how you engage initially. is there a subtle way to break these guys? at the end of the day voters are looking for somebody presidential, that can be your president. really? if these guys are having a boxing is that true early primaries? it makes noise. let me go to heather with another question. is there another chris christie for the business press? is there another guy that can actually down and just talks budgets, taxes, policy that would influence an actual voter? yeah, i think it s worth noting his people have been really working hard to sort of tone down his gruff manner. he gave a series of policy
front page. they won t stand a chance making hay when these two guys are out there throwing their sunday punches. tonight we look at the matchup of the biggest fight card in august, the republican debate with the main event matching the big little guy from jersey and the mouth from manhattan. donald trump versus chris christie with everyone else standing there watching. michael steele was rnc chair back when it was a normal organization. and stephanie cutter was campaign management for president obama and heather haddon with the wall street journal. the only reason christie can get this this thing is to be christie. i don t think he gets in there as a wilting frail flower, a wallflower and acts well mannered and doesn t cut up anybody. do you agree with that that he has to get out there and slug it out? yeah, we definitely saw that today here at livington heights school where he formally announced and entered the race.
far less, in fact, than christie did today. speaking of christie. google s put out their list of what s trending right now. and people are still obsessed, excuse me, governor, with his weight. they want to know how much weight he s lost, how much weight he still has. not bridgegate? well, that s coming. but people are really if they re all interested in your weight, you re not going to be elected president. if that s the only thing they can ask about you. it is something people are genuinely interested in. here s this guy that is just out there, with you know, and he s not a thin guy. he does not look like your classic american politician. and he throws himself out there saying, look, this is me. you know, here i am. he went on a weight loss thing and slipped back. what about weight i don t like to talk about that. how about the royal way, when he says, we re working on it. who are the other people involved? i love that when he says, we. there, i said it.
to navigate going on. ultimate yankees. the republican debates would be spectacles of nasty attacks with donald trump and christie doing their worst. let s watch a preview. after you graduate from law school, you conduct yourself like that in a courtroom your rear end will get thrown in jail, idiot. damn, man, i m governor. could you just shut up for a second? you don t take criticism all that well. i lash back. why wouldn t i lash back? you should shut up. sit down and shut up. do you have to hide that side of your personality outside of new jersey? there s no hope of that. when mexico sends us people, they re not sending their best. they re bringing drugs, they re bringing crime, they re rapists. they think this is jeb bush s race to lose. if the elites in washington who make backroom deals decide who is president is going to be, then he s definitely the front-runner. i can t believe bush is in
the big new media market in new york. christie told matt lauer that he isn t afraid of combat and he will soak up the media spotlight in this crowded field. here he is bragging already. i think what sets me apart is the state where i come from. i mean, this is hand-to-hand combat every day. and it s a democratic legislature who is fighting me all the time. we have to learn how to bring in and to craft compromise. and in red states they don t have a lot of experience doing that. very clouded. is that an advantage or disadvantage? hard to tell. the biggest problem with so many people is getting attention. i ve never had any problem getting attention. i think i ll do okay. so they go to a noisy restaurant. a full interview of matt s interview with the governor will be on the today show tomorrow morning. you want to cover christie and trump or jeb?
