Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said last week his attacks on
Donald Trump will work where others have failed because it will be the first
time that the public has heard someone �prosecute the case� against the
former president.

Christie, a former federal prosecutor, made the remarks during an interview
last week on PBS�s �Firing Line with Margaret Hoover.� When asked how his
broadsides could weaken the former president, especially given that attacks
usually strengthen Trump�s poll numbers, Christie said that Trump�s
supporters have �never� seen �anybody prosecute the case against him, a
fellow Republican prosecute the case against him.�

�They�ve never had a Republican come out and really directly make the case in
the context of a campaign on the facts against his record,� he said.
�Margaret, he said he was going to repeal and replace Obamacare. He didn�t do
it, even with a Republican Congress. He said he was going to build a wall
across the entire border and Mexico was going to pay for it. He not only
didn�t build the wall, we haven�t gotten our first peso from Mexico. He said
he was going to balance the budget in four years. He left with the highest
deficit of any president in modern history. He said he was going to retire
the national debt in eight years. He�s added trillions to the national debt.�

Christie acknowledged that there were good things that Trump accomplished
while in office.

�The tax cut was good,� he said. �Some of his regulatory reform was good. The
Abraham Accords in the Middle East were good. But other than that, on the
main core things he promised our Republican base, he failed. No one�s
prosecuted that case.�

Christie said that he will know if his method of going after the president is
working if he is raising money and if his poll numbers are going up.

�I think that there is a large part of our party that quietly, in a whispered
tone, has had enough,� he said.

Christie said that Trump has disqualified himself from being president by
claiming the 2020 election was stolen, the events of January 6, and the
situation over the classified documents.

Christie hinted that he will not support Trump for president if Trump wins
the nomination, even though he would have to pledge his support for the
eventual nominee if he wants to end up on the Republican primary debate
stage�assuming he meets the polling the donation criteria.

�I plan to do whatever I have to do to save my party and save my country. And
to do that, I�ve got to be on the debate stage,� he said. �So they want me to
sign a piece of paper? I�ll sign the piece of paper the same way Donald Trump
signed it in 2016 and then got on the debate stage and nine of us raised our
hands to reaffirm the pledge we had signed, and he refused to. And no one
kicked him off the stage after that. No one prevented him from being in
another debate. So I�m happy to rest on that precedent.�
