Big endorsement bolsters Trump against Republican rivals

– Attack dog –

Christie’s endorsement of Trump is unlikely to win over many voters, but it significantly dampens the anti-Trump message that had been emerging from within the party.

Christie, as the Republican governor of a Democratic state, has long been seen as one of the party’s most talented politicians.

Although he was forced to drop out of this year’s White House race after polling badly, he provides Trump with a powerful surrogate, who has earned a reputation as a potent attack dog.

Christie offered an extended preview of his that role Friday, hurling barb after barb at Rubio, who he painted as a “nervous nellie” who was “wholly unprepared to be president of the United States.”

Turning to Rubio’s debate performance, Christie said “desperate people in campaigns do desperate things. Flailing punches in the last days of a losing campaign.”

Rubio has yet to win a state, but a series of solid performances has kept him in the game.

But Tuesday’s votes, and another in his home state of Florida, look like being make or break.
