Chris Christie made some noise in the fourth Republican presidential debate on Wednesday, but few observers think it will make much difference.
The presidential hopeful took center stage to especially attack his opponents for their unwillingness to take on Donald Trump, the former president and current GOP front-runner. But Christie also took a few shots of his own at Trump, who once again skipped the debate.
“I’m in this race because the truth needs to be spoken,” Christie said. “He is unfit. This is a guy who just said this past week that he wants to use the Department of Justice to go after his enemies when he gets in there. The fact of the matter is he’s unfit to be president. There’s no bigger issue in this race than Donald Trump.”
NJ Spotlight News spoke with Charlie Stile, columnist for The Record and NorthJersey.com about Christie’s performance and what’s next for his campaign. His game plan is to electrify that base, hoping that there’s enough of a growing discontent for Trump and that they’ll be looking for a genuine alternative,” said Stile.
His attacks come on the heels of a new Monmouth poll that found Chris Christie the least popular GOP nominee among voters. Still, with polling numbers being low, many are questioning Christie’s refusal to drop out of the presidential race.
