Chris Christie Will No Longer Comment Publicly on Donald Trump
Chris Christie Will No Longer Comment Publicly on Donald Trump

With Donald Trump dominating both the polls and media coverage more than 15 months ahead of the 2016 election, the rest of the GOP field has been struggling to decide how they should respond. Lower polling candidates like George Pataki and Rick Perry attempted to stake out early positions as anti-Trump figures, while Ted Cruz more or less decided to ride his coattails.
Now, during a radio interview with Mike Gallagher, Chris Christie debuted his approach: Pretend Donald Trump doesn’t exist. When Gallagher jokingly asked how much Christie would love it if the media stopped asking him about Trump, the New Jersey governor replied, “I don’t answer it anymore. That’s my position.”
“I don’t comment on his comments,” Christie added. “It’s just not worth the time.” Asked to elaborate anyway, Christie simply defended his own “blunt and direct” approach to politics, saying, “I think at the end of the day, my record and my ability will be judged up or down on their own, not necessarily in comparison to anybody else’s.”
So if Trump starts going after Christie directly, will he really have the will power to say nothing in response?
