TPM:
Trump contrasted Christie’s endorsement with the typical process he’s experienced in receiving endorsements …
“Frankly, sometimes they want have dinner, and ‘Let’s get together for two hours,’ and ‘Let’s go to a movie together,'” Trump said in response, describing what typically happens when people want to endorse him. “It’s too much work.”
“With Chris,” Trump said, “We just jumped over all that. We got together for 10 minutes, I wrote him a check for $600k, and that was it. Wham, bam, thank you, ma’am! No muss, no fuss.”

In other words, Wasilla Kardashian was a demanding bitch. “Respect you in the morning? Hell, I don’t respect you now.”

All of this on the Republican side, except for Kasich, a tasteless joke in these dangerous days. Unworthy sequel to Jackass. Trump and Rubio nothing but college sophomores throwing food at each other in the fraternity dining room. The name-calling, shouting over each other, and smirking makes them look like young children. They probably both still wet their pants. Does their slapshtick comedy truly deserve so much serious coverage? This is no argument for Cruz; he never even got into the fraternity because he was seen as treacherous and nasty. Each of these one of these candidates is in his own way mean-spirited, incompetent, untrustworthy. Truly dangerous. Little men with megaphones, none of them measure up to the challenges of our times, ready to lead our nation. Seriously, is this truly the best the Republican Party can offer to our nation?

It’s obvious that Trump hasn’t really thought ahead to what the Presidency involves if he thinks spending a few hours to gain an endorsement is “too much work”.

Trump endorsements include : $ister$arah, The OutlawJerseyWhales, the KKK… and I’m thinking UncaBen will jump in that clown car.

“And I’m not sure what endorsements mean,” he added. “I’ve never really understood it.”
It means you just picked up the proud support of about two and a half precinct captains, congratulations!

It could be dangerous to endorse a guy like Trump if you still plan on a political future. You never know when the guy is going to go renegade, and it could write a nice tv ad for a future political opponent. Beware, Chris Christie!

Pretty much. This is what 50-60 years of misogyny, appealing to racists, denigrating education, gay-baiting, immigrant-bashing, hippie-punching, eliminationist rhetoric, and opposing science in the names of “faith” and profit gets you.

I can hear it now: “Oh, waaah, I don’t want to briefed for 3 hours to prepare for meeting with Putin. It’s too much work.”
What a perfect meme. I think this is the line that will finally get him. If there’s anything the right wing supports, it’s hard work. Can someone please start the hashtag, #toomuchwork?

"There is little concrete evidence New Jersey Gov. Christi endorsement of Trump will help Trump among the rank-and-file voters. BUT Christi’s continued control of New Jersey can offer a more shadowy form of help where Trump’s dealings could prove problematic for his campaign.
Over three decades Trump made New Jersey a a prime stage for his corporate empire - likely leaving a paper trail documenting bankruptcies, wreckage plans that went nowhere, casinos that faltered, etc. With Christi controlling the state agency he and his aides Trump’s records could be harder to surface. During his two terms as governor, Christi has not shied away from using his power."
Now you know why Trump was smiling like a cheshire cat when Christi endorsed him.

“Chris called up out of the blue and said, ‘You’re the one that’s going to win.’”
Translation:
Hey, mister, can I get a ride on your bandwagon? Huh? Please, mister. Please. Can I?

“Everybody wanted Chris,” Trump said.
Yes, right. I’m sure. Like everyone wants herpes.

What Trump is saying here is that he’s too huuuuge and awesome to need anyone but himself.
Does the GOP realize this? Trump has taken over their party and he doesn’t care what happens to it. He doesn’t like any of you and he isn’t going to associate with you after he’s used your organization’s structure and money to run on your ticket.
This is exactly the same way the Koch Brothers and the rest of the Top 1% feels about the GOP. The same way the KKK, Christian Wrong and the Aryan Nation types feel about the GOP. There is no loyalty among fascists
Republicans invited these people into their home and they made you sign over the deed. And they have so little pride that they continue to let them stay and trash the property. Some like Christie actually thank them for it.
There is nothing left but depravity.

Yeah, it’s great that we have a possible President who doesn’t want to work hard.
