If Trump loses the nomination he’ll simply return to Mar-a-Lago and ‘carp and moan and complain,’ said Christie

Chris Christie doesn’t expect Donald Trump to concede if he loses any primary election.

The former New Jersey governor was discussing focusing his campaign efforts on New Hampshire with Jonathan Karl on “This Week” when he was asked if he believes Trump would concede in a primary he loses.

“I don’t care,” Christie responded.

He explained “no one will expect” Trump to concede based on the fact that he still hasn’t publicly admitted he lost the 2020 presidential election — or given up his unfounded claims of widespread election fraud.

    So you’d prefer to keep this divide going? If once supporting Trump is unforgivable, then push will come to shove at some point because there’s still millions that think or thought Trump was a stand up guy.

    What’s the best case scenario you see for current and previous Trump supporters?

      Current? There is no best case. They have seen all the evidence and believe no matter what he is the chosen one. It’s delusion and suicide cult behavior.

      As for former? I think that’s relative. I know people who voted for Trump because they thought he was someone and he turned out to be someone else. Yes it’s a little silly that they couldn’t see he was exactly who he presented himself as. But that I can mostly forgive if you are repentant.

      If you schemed at the highest levels of government to protect him and spent years defending him with each mounting crime? No. Go fuck yourself. You should be next in line behind him to go to jail. Of course that won’t happen. But I’ll be damned if I’ll ever accept any reality where those sorts can pretend like nothing bad happened and all is well.

      In a perfect world all these people would get voted out. Best case for me is they simply get relegated to a small minority in government that ceases to have any real power.
