Chris Christie To Help Trump Prepare For Biden Debates

Biden should NOT debate.

Choke on a hoagie.

Trump doesn't need to prepare. All he needs to do is shout over Biden, constantly interrupt with things like, "Wrong!" and, "Excuse me! Excuse me!" then say a wild and obvious lie, which will derail whatever topic Biden was discussing for the next five minutes. Then the moderator moves on. Lather, rinse, repeat.

And takeout food services in the area are rejoicing!

Christie's murder of Rubio in a debate was incredible.

Liz Warren matched it in her massacre of Bloomberg.

I like it when a politician is obliterated in a debate.

R6 well you should enjoy a Trump v. Biden match then.

I can't bring myself to watch. I can't take it.

Get in line for the pie eating contest.

The only thing he will help himself to is the last Big Mac, causing Trump to fire him once again.

Bulwark's Tim Miller:

Trump's debate team is made up of 4 guys. The first put the second guys dad in jail and made the 3rd guy the fall man for their joint corruption. The 4th guy was kept out of the White House over a hooker scandal.

Well, that would explain why Trump gets tripped up, calling Biden "Fatboy" in the official debates.

It's the obese leading the enormous.

Dum and Dumber part 3.

He doesn't listen to anybody, so any preparation is futile.

Wow, you guys are ON today. Thank you for all the laughs on this thread!

I don't give a fuck if Biden is lifeless mummified corpse by Nov. I will vote for it.

Hillary won every debate but she still lost. Who cares? I think people have made up their minds after the last 4 years. You either love or hate Dump. No inbetween.

What I find interesting is that Pence's people have been cut completely out of dep prep. I wonder if they suspect that Team Pence has been leaking to Project Lincoln.

Trump doesn't have the intelligence or political know-how to sell himself. All he has is delusional bravado. He'll brag about something 4 different ways and think he just delivered an incredible explanation.

In 2016 it was all about "genius dealmaking billionaire wants to make America great again". He didn't, and he can't. He's a failure, and if Independents and fence-sitters vote for him again they are fools.

Is Chris Christie employed?

What a pair of scruple-free bags of shit--no wonder they can't quit each other.

I thought Christie hated trump

When has that stopped Republicans from licking his Orange Anus R23?

Oh to own the McDonald's franchise near wherever they are prepping....

What if Biden just didn’t debate

That's smart. Christie is a good pick to play Trump in debate practice.

Everyone’s mind is made up. I don’t see what Biden has to gain by debating. Covid offers the perfect reason to decline...

Is he bringing the hamberders?

I thought they were skipping debates this year?

R21, Christie has been making bank since leaving the Governor's office. He has his own law firm, is a crisis consultant and recently registered as a lobbyist. He has the ABC gig and is on the paid lecture circuit. He sits on the Boards of some corporations/non-profits. He and his wife are partners in a real estate investment firm, and they recently started a charity to help small businesses in NJ that are struggling with Covid19.

[quote] He has his own law firm, is a crisis consultant and recently registered as a lobbyist.

He's a real life Olivia Pope!

After the orange menace is dragged out of the office kicking and screaming or dead, what are all these shitstains permanently tainted by their association with him going to do? Just assume that the next day will be business as usual?

People surrounding Trump will become Fox / Oann commentators, some will go to work for Think Tanks, probably all of them will write books and give speeches to Republican groups. The rich ones will have family money to fall back on. The delusional ones will run for office.

R23, I believe R24 might be correct.

I recall that disgraced New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's wife, Mary Patt, rolled her eyes at the inauguration or some other event when DT was speaking.

It seemed to me that disgraced ex- governor Chris Christie was hungry to be in DT's cabinet or at least to be appointed to any position in the administration. Christie needs a job. Disgraced ex-governor Christie also seems starved for attention. In my opinion, Chris is still kissing orange ass hoping for some type of government position or publicity. He's out of work and not in the media, I think Chris would eat up any type of coverage his debate prep could gain.

How is it that neither of these evil fat fuckers have had heart attacks yet?

Trump played Christie for a fool before and after the election and now he's looking to help him with his debate strategy. I'm sure Ted Cruz is also willing to help in anyway he can. Once a fool, always a fool.

R35 Satan removed their hearts and turned them into Stepford Demons.

Christie is crafty and quick, but Trump will not be following ANYONE during the actual debates. He'll be threatening and bragging and bullshitting his record. That is when he's not cutting Biden down like a middle schooler on the playground.

I wish they drug tested before the debates.

It would be awesome if Trump and Christie both dropped dead.

I'm curious how Pence will prepare for the debate against Harris.

Hardy and Arbuckle.

Two fat fucks, hope they die while gouging on McDonald’s.

New York magazine has an article about disarray in the Trump campaign. What's interesting is that the author relates a story that Bill Stepien hates Christie's guts, and that Jared hired Stepien as a fuck you to Christie. Which raises the question - how the hell did Christie get dragged into debate prep?

R6 Both of those were glorious. Warren's was savage because I didn't know that she had it in her. Rubio was a media darling and I always love when the media doesn't get their preferred candidate. Rubio's inability to go outside his scripted talking points was such an instant bonerkiller.

I don't know if it will happen or that he will do it, or that he can even do it, but it would be glorious for Biden to eviscerate and/or humiliate Trump at least once in the debates.

as if that fat fuck needed to debase himself even further

well the outlaw jersey whale does know how to socially distance.....having an entire state's seashore all to himself

[quote] I thought Christie hated trump

When Nicolle Wallace was talking to Christie about his book, Christie mentioned several times that he likes Trump and they are still friends. Nicolle looked like she wanted to slap that fat pig across the face.

Cockgobbler Jared Kushner will not be happy about this because Christie prosecuted Charles Kushner.

Christie's book came out a year ago, so Jared already knows what Christie has to say about Charlie Kushner. It's just weird how Christie has been drawn back into Trump's debate prep, when Jared hates him so much and has stabbed him in the back.

Some day Lin-Manuel Miranda will do a musical about the crazy relationship between the two of them.

Instead of a debate they should both be required to offer a presentation on their plans for the country and submit a series of public job interviews with panels of experts (I.e. economists, environmentalists, educators, Union leaders, etc.). I’m tired of all the antics that treat a debate like a sports match.

The word “prepare” should be in quotes, because it is highly unlikely that there will be any preparation occurring. We’ve heard from people who are aware that the intelligence briefers have had an impossible task to get him ready for any meetings. The dolt hates to read the materials — and he doesn’t — and thinks that he knows better than people who are experts and have studied the issues extensively. He’d rather wing it, because, after all, he has a “big brain, is a “stable genius,” and has the “best words.”

It hardly matters. tRump’s supporters will vote for this deranged fool no matter what. And Biden’s supporters are voting for him and against the Dotard with the same if not greater fervor. We’re counting on there being more of us than there are of them.

Will this involve them sitting on each other?

Chris Christie was just on Colbert. He said that he hadn't begun helping Trump with debate prep, but he would if asked. So basically, the leaks about Trump taking debate prep seriously were just more bullshit.

What does Joe Biden have to gain by "debating" a deranged sideshow clown like Trump? Nothing of substance can be discussed by Trump because he knows nothing of substance about the job as President!

If he refuses to debate Trump, the GOP will say it's because he's senile, and if he does debate Trump, it will just be another Trump infomercial for his insanity and thuggery.

If Biden refuses to debate Trump, then Trump is off the hook and the Republicans will tell their base it's evidence that Biden is in a mental decline and hiding.

If Biden goes to the debates, he gets to make his case to the American public, particularly the public that hasn't been paying attention to politics until this point. He absolutely needs to show up.

If Biden makes a fool out of Trump in the first debate, will Trump go to the next? Or will he just say, I’m so busy being President I don’t have time to go? I’m surprised he isn’t trying that out already.

By giving him carb loading advice?

Is he going to shit in The Donald's mouth?

More weirdness on the debate prep front. Chris Christie said on Colbert last week that he hadn't begun debate prep with Trump but he would if he was asked.... meaning he hadn't been asked. Now, after Trump screws the pooch with his obnoxious comments about the military, suddenly there's another article coming out about how seriously Trump is taking debate prep and that they've already had three strategy meetings and prep sessions, even though they haven't picked someone yet to play Biden. In light of Christie's comments, it's just more bullshit.

I think they are seriously trying to con the Republican donors into believing that Trump can turn things around at the debates, in order to get more donor money coming in.

Good Lord, his supporters don't care how he does at the debates. He bombed in the 2016 debates by any standard, and still squeaked by in enough swing states. As always, NOTHING he does shakes the blind faith of his supporters. It's just that there might not be enough of them this time (fingers crossed).

Biden should just forget about "answering" any absurdities Trump ventilates and just use the debates as a campaign platform.

Biden didn't perform too well in debates during primaries, he made it out unscathed mostly because others helped him out. But that strategy won't work with Trump. Also Biden isn't very good at improv, too many gaffes. I am a bit worried.

Completely agree with r63 .

I want to see some emotion from Biden. Anger, offense, get worked up over [bold]something[/bold], anything.

I guess you're not watching Biden's statements, R66. Or you're a troll.

Not a troll, r67, but in the primaries that was my biggest complaint. I’m screaming at the TV and he’s calm as a cucumber. That may be a good thing, but when you’re debating trump and he outright lies, especially about something easily disprovable, I'd rather see Joe get angry than his current “laugh at trump’s stupidity” that I’ve seen so far.

I want him to play a little dirtier, so to speak.

Is he helping craft the pre-debate menu?

Maybe that muscle stud Marco Rubio will help Trump prepare. Rubio is a buff sexy stud.

IS Golden Corral back in business ?

I can't believe all of these Republicans that Trump continuously trashes over and over again, who then distance themselves from him - BUT, when Trump calls, they sure are there for him!

No morals, no ethics, and no fucking self respect.

All that whey protein powder and creatine that Rubio consumes is expensive.

Trump is going to be hit hard at the first debate for calling the military losers. I don't know how they even prepare Trump for that, he's not capable of dealing with criticism.

There's an article about Trump spurning traditional debate prep - he's basically doing nothing to prepare except having a few chats with his staff members on issues, and we know how well Trump absorbs information from his staffers. What a putz.

Two dozen Big Macs per training sessions, I'm sure.

I hope Biden turns the tables on Mafia Don and asks him direct questions where giving real answers makes him look terrible and spewing his usual nonsense makes him look stupid and amateurish. trump's ego is massive, and he hates being embarrassed.

He doesn't need any preparation to keep his base, which is his strategy. He just needs to mouth off on the issues in his usual braggadocious way.

They tried this the last time. Trump does not prepare. Well he at least sat and listened for a little while the last time.

Now? As President? Forget it. It goes straight to their heads, the power and deference they’re accustomed to as pres. It was certainly the case with Obama. His debate team was very concerned about his lack of attention to prep work. And the result was the first debate with Romney, which Obama lost.

Trump is that times a million. I mean, he started that way, before he was even president. He lost all of the debates to Hillary, a woman widely disliked and seen as divisive. As long as Biden keeps the bloopers to a minimum, he should do even better, because he’s a vastly more likeable figure than Hillary.

^^^ and even more importantly, Biden has a massive magazine of ammunition which Hillary didn’t have — Trump’s actual miserable record as president.

Biden needs to avoid sounding like a Dad from the 1950's like on Leave It To Beaver. I like him, but that manner of speaking gets on my nerves. I'm sure Biden will take the high road on many issues related to trump's behavior, but I hope he does get a bit feisty and call trump out where needed.

I think they are seriously trying to con the Republican donors into believing that Trump can turn things around at the debates, in order to get more donor money coming in.

That seems like a likely reason behind all of this; Dump & Co. hate Christie, but donors are telling Dump that if he cant get his shit together & act like he's at least trying to win, they'll sit this one out. No one with any credibility will come near Dump - hence the re-introduction of Christie.

They may as well sit Dump in front of Bugs Bunny cartoons for debate prep; he won't listen - and likely can't anyway, since his mental state is clearly eroding

R38, the only thing Fat Donnie knows how to cut are lines of semi-crushed Adderrall.

Christie is really a no pride having toad. Jesus this guy has no spine. WTF does Diapers have on him, Rubio and Cruz? What a worm.

Diapers is going to get fisted at the debates. He’s literally going to shit himself on camera, and I hope Biden points and laughs and says, Go ahead MAGAts, vote for the pants shitter.

I'm not worried about Joe Biden being alert or sharp. I've been watching him and he's fine. But I honestly do not want him to do this. Why? Because TV and performance is Trump's wheelhouse. He loves it. He loves the attention. He doesn't follow rues or adhere to courtesies or anything like that. He is a show horse.

Joe Biden is an old school traditional politician who has debated a lot in his professional career. But This won't be that kind of event. It will be a show.There's nothing Trump won't do or say on that stage. NOTHING. Just think about it. I would prefer it if they did it remotely.

If Joe Biden agreed to do town halls with someone like Anderson Cooper, etc. I would be a lot more comfortable. Town halls would show us how intelligent and ready he is. Compared to that rotten POS monster.

I think Christie is simply a party loyalist, so if Trump asks him for help, he'll be available to help. But they haven't asked him, that was clear from his Colbert interview. They were just hiding behind Christie's name, to sucker the donors.

This NBC article seems to be an attempt to force Trump to take the debate seriously, so someone behind the scenes must be shitting their pants at the spectacle Trump is going to make of himself. But Trump doubles down when he's challenged, so that may backfire.

At what point in the debate will Trump slink into camera view behind Biden talking?

I can't imagine being the stand-in for Trump at Biden's debate prep, having to slink around Biden.

Trump looks good at his current weight of 205 pounds. Trim and fit.

He's 205 lbs only from the waist up. Add that lazy fat ass, and he's a good 320 lbs.
