As a Michigander, I was hoping for a euchre reference, but this is OK.

Just a few weeks after Christie sold his donor list to Rubio, New Jersey's Gov. Lardass Bully throws his support to Trump. Did it take the promise of the AG job to get Christie to back the guy he called "a carnival barker" and "entertainer in chief" and the guy who insisted that Christie knew about the GWB lane closings? What's next, an endorsement from Paul LePage, the future Secretary of (Child) Labor?

Lets give Trump credit. The man's political instincts are off the charts. If he wasn't insane he'd be really, really dangerous. Fresh off a debate where the lamestream media was dying to declare Rubio the overwhelming victor and the new frontrunner, Trump had Christie cut Rubio off at the knees. I'm sure he had this endorsement in his back pocket waiting for maximum effect, and here it is.

While this endorsement isn't like if Lizzy Warren endorsed Bernie, its a close second. Christie was the chairman of the GOP Governors election committee. You don't get more Establishment than that. So much for Rubio consolidating everyone behind him. Yeah, LePage's endorsement is kinda amusing, but now Rick Scott has cover to back Trump. So does Scott Walker and a bunch of other Tea Party govs.

Don't know what Rubio did to Christie but this is a kick in the balls. Even if Christie had endorsed Kasich you could chalk it up to both being governors and all that. But Trump? Wow.

Liz is playing it smart. She's a realist and while she can't stand Hillary she figures Bernie has about as much chance of being nominated as being elected Pope.

I wonder what the price will be for her endorsement? Will Hillary pay it and will she honor it?

Tough to say but you're right about Warren. This is going to really disappoint the Scooby's and Kepler's of the world, but a Lizzy Warren full throated endorsement of Hillary is going to bring a lot of Sanders voters on board. Not all of them mind you, but enough of them as she has a gift for framing arguments and I'm sure she'll do a stellar job on this one. Maybe Hillary needs to get behind a financial transaction tax?

I'd be careful about full throated endorsements around the Clintons.

Hillary will make Bill stand on the other side of the podium when women are endorsing her.

Inside the Republican Party’s Desperate Mission to Stop Donald Trump

While still hopeful that Mr. Rubio might prevail, Mr. McConnell has begun preparing senators for the prospect of a Trump nomination, assuring them that, if it threatened to harm them in the general election, they could run negative ads about Mr. Trump to create space between him and Republican senators seeking re-election.
