I don't care that he was campaigning for Trump, really not the issue. He has a current job (Governor of NJ) and didn't do it.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie skipped the funeral Monday of a state trooper killed in his home state to hit the campaign trail with Donald Trump.

I'll agree with the sentiment, bad call on Christie's part.

I was so, so excited and energized about the slate of candidates that the GOP put forth last summer. We had youth; we had energy; we had diversity of thought; and we had righteousness on our side.
Even if I didn't agree with them, I was excited about having them in the field to chose from. That included Christie.
And one by one they have disappointed me. They have acted like the politicians that they disdain.
Chalk up another disappointment.

Me too. Fiorina, Jindal, Carson, even Perry and Santorum - but none were able to close the deal and get the support of enough polling to stay in the limelight, attract the money needed, etc. Last go round I was strongly for Herman Cain and was heartbroken at the levels the opposition went to (where is the most dangerous place on the planet, between Gloria Allred and a camera).
The atrocious debate moderation this go round, coupled with a similarly hostile 'friendly' media did nothing to help any of them except Trump oddly enough IMO.

I was especially excited about Rubio. Really, he now looks like the most sane and honorable candidate.
I didn't start out with any respect at all for Christie, and his debate performances drove me to having less than no respect for him. So his behavior in this case doesn't surprise me at all.

It's pathetic to think that CNN had better GOP debates than Fox News. Such utter disappointment in Fox. And I think Sean Hannity is going to be having Trump's baby in a few months.
But at least I now have time to watch (Stone Cold) Steve Austin's Broken Skull Challenge on CMT.

While I agree with your first paragraph, my attitude toward Christie actually improved with his debate performances. Whatever positive impact he may have won with me was lost in this single action. Not that I expect my opinion of him to matter one bit.

Agreed. My attitude was very negative going in, but improved with the debates. At least until the 18th time he told me that he was fighting terror right after 9/11.

I thought Fiorina would be able to neutralize Hillary's main argument. Was sorry she did not do better.

I suspect that she might be on some short-lists for the bottom half of the ticket.
She's endorsed Cruz, but hasn't gone really negative.

I'd be happy with her as Cruz' VP.
