In turnabout, Christie endorses former GOP rival Trump

Ted Cruz promised in the debate Thursday night to release twin more years worth of tax returns, as a tactic to pressure billionaire Donald Trump to release his own tax records.

"The best person to beat Hillary Clinton in November on that stage last night is undoubtedly Donald Trump", Christie told a news conference a day after a Republican candidates' debate.

General election are expensive. "If he hadn't inherited the amount, you know where Donald Trump would be right now?...Selling watches", which was interrupted by a huge applause. "I am really proud to receive the support of the Governor and his family", Trump said.

Monmouth University pollster Patrick Murray said Christie at the very least gained an exit plan from Trenton, with his approval ratings from state residents down to approximately 30 percent.

In August, Christie said, "I just don't think that he's suited to be president of the United States". And he said that since Mexico's current and former presidents had criticized him on the issue, "the wall just got 10 feet taller".

"Christie had a choice". "Marco has said he won't win a single state before Florida", notes Jeff Roe, the Cruz campaign manager who believes the Floridian would face "the impossible task of taking on Trump from the left".

"Christie has never been particularly good at sitting on the sidelines".

The tough-talking Christie dropped out the GOP presidential race after a poor finish in the February 9 New Hampshire primaries but not before a visceral debate attack on Rubio that put the Florida senator and his campaign on the ropes.

The nod from Christie comes at a critical moment.

But then, in charged Christie to steal the news cycle and momentum.

Rubio and other Republican candidates went after Trump aggressively and often at the CNN debate in what turned out to be the biggest Trump pile-on yet.

"Donald Trump could be the GOP nominee", they warned in the memo, obtained by CBS News and first reported by the New York Times.

That was all forgotten in the endorsement.

Trump joked that he could "shoot somebody" in New York City but still not lose what he called his loyal supporters.

Thousands march in central London to oppose nuclear arms
Protesters converged on London from around Britain and CND claimed that 60,000 people joined the march. Ms Sturgeon said: "It is the norm in the world today to be nuclear-free".

"He has been a spectacular governor".

"I've used strong words and my parents didn't raise me that way, but I've used strong words because I feel that passionately about it", Rubio said.

Christie's endorsement could have the power to bring more establishment-aligned officials and donors into Trump's camp.

Christie said Friday the decision to endorse Trump was an easy one, as the two men have a longstanding personal friendship.

A week later, Christie responded.

Campaigning in Oklahoma, Mr Rubio took out his mobile phone and read out messages the property mogul had posted on social media, mocking his spelling. "Showmanship is fun, but it is not the kind of leadership that will truly change America".

Christie's endorsement came after Rubio shattered months of relative peace with the Republican front-runner by repeatedly attacking Trump's character in the debate.

"He had one of those sweat mustaches", Rubio said.
