First republican candidate I actually listened to through out the interview. Breath of fresh air from the Christie interview. Sane, declarative, methodical, truthful openness regarding his personal struggles with his weight and his failed attempts to make Trump a better person. Owning your sh:t is a genuine moment.

"If we had a child like that, we send them to their room, not the white house". Great quote about Dumpf

Christie always straightforward, speaking clearly, no beating around the bush, he wants you to know where he stands.

Nice to see that Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger finally have some help.

I am NOT a fan of Christie, but I appreciate how direct he was here.

“You and I are parents, and if we have a child that behaved like that, we’ll send them to a room not to the White House.” 😳😳😳😳 I still got enough popcorn 🍿 and soda 🥤 for this. Bring it on 😂😂😂

Simply put this was refreshing on so many levels who knew there were politicians, who could speak and behave like an adult.

Finally well said! Let’s get back to having manners and being polite even to those you don’t agree with or even like.

I am a Democrat but the town hall speech Christie gave yesterday was phenomenal. It was so refreshing to hear reason and truth from a party that is marked by treason and lies. Will Christie be the GOP candidate, no, but he might just save the Democracy.

Such great responses. I'm in NH and Christie will probably get my vote in the primary. I would never vote for Trump. No decent American should still be supporting Trump.

We finally have someone who acts like a grown up. I'm not republican but I hope he gets the nominee.

Wow actually a sane and mentally stable 2024 presidential candidate!!! Good luck Mr Christie!!

Finally someone is stepping up, not afraid of the worst “ president “ in the history of USA 🇺🇸!! BRAVO 🙌

I like someone who can stand up and say "I was wrong". Vanishingly rare in American politics.

Well done Chris Christie.

As someone who saw this man run NJ for two terms, I see past the bs. Good talker and knows the right things to say that help him. The man was never around when we needed him as Governor. He’d be a worse President.

Wow, Jake is such a class act. NEVER on Fox News would you see the civility you saw right here in this interview.

As a woman I haven’t voted GOP since Bush senior & never will again - but I’d donate to Christie just for the joy of hearing him rag on Trump for the next 15 months. It makes my day. 😂😂😂

As a Democrat supporter (or Labor, as we call it in Australia) I was impressed with Christie's intelligence, demeanour and direct, thoughtful responses. If all Republicans could take the lead from this guy then the next US elections could be a lot closer than they certainly will be if they continue as they are.

I'm starting to like Christie to be honest. He's growing on me.

I’ve never been a fan of Chris Christie, but I am pretty impressed with his responses.

Trump making fun of someone else's weight is the ultimate in lack of self-awareness.

Vote for Mr. Christe. Only one who tell us the truth. I would vote for him..

Can't wait to see Chris and Don go at it on stage.

The fact that Christie was able to take the higher ground and say that he has struggled with his weight for 20 years is extremely encouraging to me. He can tell the truth, something that other people in the Republican Party can't. If any Republican deserves to be the president, which I don't think any do, Chris Christie is a great candidate. He seems to be older now and much more grounded than he used to be, and he is saying all the right things. You are a good man Mr Christie and don't let somebody like Donald Trump try to disparage you. Nobody actually believes where he says, his supporters want him back in the White House for their own financial game. This can be the only reason why somebody would support him.

If he’s insulting Christie then he feels he’s a threat so Christie needs to keep attacking him The irony of Trump, of all people, mocking anyone about their body weight is rich

Keep going strong Christie. You definitely get my vote!

Christie tells it like it is … one of a few. Thanks Gov Christie 🫡🇺🇸

FINALLY someone has the balls to Stand up & call Trump out on his childish behaviour, I hope his next call he has for Trump he's got a bowl of mash potato!

Wow, it is so refreshing to hear Chris Christie talk and answer question directly.

Wow how impressed of Chris Christie, very intelligent man!

Chris Christie isn't a politician. That is why he should win. He's got a good heart.

Not a fan but it’s so nice to see someone just admit being wrong, accept who they are and just behave like an adult.

I'm an Independent. Bravo for Christie, he is the one and only Republican candidate that has the balls to call out the orange menace. I have gained a new respect for him.

Chris Christie is the best candidate Republicans have. Well spoken, smart, supports Ukraine, puts country over party, and bipartisan.

Go Christie, you got my vote!!!!!

"If we had a kid who acted like that we'd send then to their room, not to the White House" That's brilliant!

I guess people quickly forget the rotten things Chris Chritie did in NJ. People are their own worst enemy.

He sounds more sane than the other republican candidates

So glad Chris Christi is saying out loud what no other republican had dared to say !

'When you have a child who behave like that, you send them to their room, not the White House.' That's classic

“I was wrong” - that very human and adult gesture may change the direction of the whole thing

In general, an insult from Trump should be taken as a compliment. He is acknowledging you are superior to him.

My god, a Republican standing up to Trumpty Dumpty. Excellent

I watched the two hour long town hall meeting on TV and must say that Christie was brilliant. A no nonsense kind of guy with a great mind and fantastic retorical skills. If the GOP want's to win in 2024, they definently should make Christie their candidate.

A vote for Christy. A vote in the right direction

After Bridgegate, Christie showed how vindictive he is to innocent people.

I can’t believe a grown man could be so juvenile. Making fun of someone weigh is what bullies do. It’s astonishing that ANYONE could vote for Trump. When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. UNBELIEVABLE!!! 🤦🏽‍♀️

Christie’s town hall was a amazing last night. Finally, a sane, smart, and sharp Republican presidential candidate … made this Democrat have renewed hope in America’s future.

As a liberal, I find it hard to dislike Christie. But his backing of Trump until 2020 seems like a serious lapse in judgment. Even before we knew how malicious he was, most of my friends and acquaintances going back 20 years or more thought of Trump as a pompous buffoon. That’s not someone you want in the White House.

I would vote for Chris Christie

Best of luck Chris Christie, a man who repents of his wrong doing will always have my respect!

I don’t always like Chris Christie but the fact that he came out and admitted he is wrong Proves to me that he’s willing to hold himself accountable versus Donald Trump who never admits to failure on anything

Stick and stones may break my bones, but treason will be painful for years to come.

I'm a Democrat and I don't want Biden again...I want to hear more from Chris. Nice to hear someone admitting they were wrong. He knows what vocabulary he's using... refreshing.

Thank god Warner flushed Licht! CNN now needs to purge the former Trump employees.

Chris is spot on . Trump is done

'Send Trump to his room, not to the White House' That needs to be the campaign slogan.

Interesting interview - Former Gov Christie surprised me with his straightforward responses and insights.

What a world we live in! A world where Chris Christie is an eminently more appealing, reasonable candidate than just about anyone else in the Republican field. Wow!

Christie has truly redeemed himself. YES, he’s far from perfect and he made many mistakes. But he is a decent man. And he is intelligent.

Best speaking Republican i have heard in a long time

He said that now, tomorrow he will change his mind.

Chris Christy is so refreshing, I could easily see his poll numbers climb fast. It’s early in the game and trump and DeSantis aren’t cutting it anymore.

Chris has the balls to step up and straight talk - as is - Good for him. I will consider to vote for this man.

I hate grown people flip flopping and calling one another names ....I don't think any of these people besides a few should be making decisions for me and you...its scary

Goodyear blimp alert. Even the stomach staples didn’t work 😂😂

I respect him for being straightforward and honest at least.

Refreshing to hear someone speak who has a grasp on the issues. Not reduced to culture wars nor childish Trump antics.

He's speaking the truth!!!

No one else will speak to CNN.

You send a child to his room, not the whitehouse - well said Mr Christie 👏

Christie is the ONLY Republican candidate that deserves to be on that ticket. I hope the Retrumplicans don't vote for him, but if they do, I would not be terrified to have him win. Damn, are we getting back to normal?

I was dishearted when Christie joined the Trump team. I understood it, however, as a political necessity. I credit him with admitting his mistakes and reasoning behind those errors. He makes perfect sense to me and I will fully support him in 2024.

If it's a choice between Chris and Joe I would pick Chris as a democrat because I'm just so sick of the DNC blocking the good candidates from running and the only way to make them understand is to remove thier power.

Chris, Can Lose Weight!!!!!!!!!!!! Nobody, Can Give Trump, Integrity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can respect a man who can admit he was wrong and don't make excuses

Well said

Chris Christie is every negative stereotype about Americans all rolled into one person.

Other than Christie, the recent slew of republican presidential candidates prove that they are all counting on Jack Smith, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, and Fani Willis to do their job for them because they are afraid to do it themselves.

Donald Trump making fun of somebody's weight is like the hunchback of Notre Dame making fun of someone with a limp.

Oh eff you Christie! You knew him for years- and you knew EXACTLY what his was and you helped him anyway to SERVE YOURSELF!!!

Mr Christie do the right ✅️ thing stand up for right

I was not expecting this. Way to go Christie. Bout time a Republican took the gloves off and gave Trump taste of his own medicine. I don’t know much about Christie but, I’m impressed with his calm, articulate fact driven arguments.

I'm not exactly a fan of Christie, but it sure is nice to FINALLY hear someone state the OBVIOUS on Trump. He'll probably never win, but it's about time someone isn't afraid to stand up to Trump's stupidity and petulance.

Christie should win

Chris Christie is a good guy. He doesn't play the bias game. Vote 4 him.

"If we had a child that conducted themselves in this way, we'd send them to their room, not to the White House". Gold right there! 🙂

What he said about Trump’s childlike name-calling made me remember an old saying: It’s better to have character than to be a character.

Yeah, but Christie was the one that started this feud by insulting Trump and calling him a mirror hog. Trump is a counter puncher. Don't punch him or you'll get punched back.

Hypocrisy at its best.

What a pleasant surprise. A candidate that speaks in concise and articulate sentences. Vote Chris. I love the potential and promise this guy represents.

He's 100% opportunist but if he's taking down Trump I'm here for it 😂

Keep going Chris!

I would vote for Chris Christie as he is an intelligent person who would do a great job as president.

That was some of the best direct dialogue & banter from Christie I have seen. Finally something worthy of airtime. Curious now, as to how the Lincoln Project views him.

What he said is what I have been saying for years. Why do we let someone act like this and reward him with the highest office in the land when we don't allow our own children to act like that? Beyond comprehension

A lot of democrats would vote for Chris Christie

Thank you

Politicians, who admit mistakes, have my respect even if I don’t agree with their policies.
