This was a bombshell for the political world. It seemed to come out of the blue. What were learning is that donald trump reached out to Chris Christie as soon as christie dropped out of this race and tried to get his endorsement. This is significant because christie is the establishment republican to back donald trump and he undercuts the argument were hearing from marco rubio that he is the establishment favorite. That he has the best chance of taking on secretary clinton in a general election. The timing significant. Think back to the debate. Marco rubio hammering donald trump for the first time really ever and he got the upper hand a lot of people thought. This endorsement turns the page on what was a rocky night for donald trump. We know that there is a personal component. The relationship between Chris Christie, donald trump goes back decades, new york, new jersey, they have worked together before. So, that played a role we are told in christies decision to endorse. But you cant undercut how significant this is, this is again the first establishment figure to endorse donald trump. It could add legitimacy to his campaign that he was lacking before that. Jim. Kristen welker in South Carolina. Going on behind you with gusto, hard to hear but we appreciate it.
