Ummm, the Christie scandal was in 2013. Trump just now discovered it?
He dropped Christie because he's a flip-flopper who's opinions blow in the political wind.
No. Trump knew about Bridgegate, but realized the fallout was still there. His decision to dump Christie is very shrewd.
Wouldn't it have been shrewder to NOT ASSOCIATE WITH HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE?
I think Christie deserves a second chance if he wasn't close to the scandal. If Trump realized how involved Christie was, he had to separate him. Don't you believe in changing decisions as you get more accurate information? It's a sign of good leadership if you can change your course vs letting ego take over.
Trump is not worthy of licking Ronald Reagan's ass after a diarrhea dump.
"While popularized by Reagan, "The Eleventh Commandment" was created by California Republican Party Chairman Gaylord Parkinson. In his 1990 autobiography An American Life, Reagan attributed the rule to Parkinson, explained its origin, and claimed to have followed it:[3]"
" The personal attacks against me during the primary finally became so heavy that the state Republican chairman, Gaylord Parkinson, postulated what he called the Eleventh Commandment: Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican. It's a rule I followed during that campaign and have ever since.

Christie didn't acknowledge that all Krispy Kremes ARE! BELONG! TO! TRUMP!
Thanks to a Politico report, we learn the details of the embarrassing phone call in which Trump "ripped" into Christie, before removing him from his transition team.
In the phone call, "Trump expressed his worry about the recent conviction of two of the governor’s former top aides, who had accused him of knowing more about the shutdown of the George Washington Bridge than he let on. Was more damaging information to come, Trump wondered?"
Trump and his top aides were most concerned about two issues, according to nearly a dozen people briefed on the process: Christie’s mismanagement of the transition, and the lingering political fallout of the Bridgegate scandal.
Trump was also unhappy with the number of lobbyists that Christie had on the transition team, as well as his choice to fill the staff with his own friends and loyalists.
