Christie: ‘I’m Not Going to Get Anywhere in this Race Telling’ Trump What To Say or Not Say

‘I can only say what Mary Pat and I do in our family’

TAPPER: “Donald Trump has come under fire for comments he made at the debate falsely linking vaccines to autism. As you know, the medical community is horrified that he keeps repeating this falsehood. They call it dangerous. Do you think Donald Trump should stop saying this?” 
CHRISTIE: “Listen, I’m not going to get anywhere in this race telling Donald Trump what to say and what not to say. I can only say what Mary Pat and I do in our family. Our children are all vaccinated." 
TAPPER: “At the debate, I asked all the candidates what they would like their Secret Service code name to be. You answered True Heart. Folks on the Internet noted that True Heart is also the name of a Care Bear. Care Bear Central told TMZ that you and True Heart have a lot of common. They’re both, ‘kind, affectionate, attentive, and obviously very huggable.’ I don’t know if you have any response to that, but we found that an interesting note.” (Laughter)
CHRISTIE: “Jake, if you agree I’m huggable, and the American people agree I’m huggable, then I’m going to be the 45th president of the United States. I don’t think there’s any doubt about that.” 
TAPPER: “All right, Governor Christie, thanks so much.”
