N.H. Union Leader: Christie, Unlike Trump, Knows What He’s Talking About

>>> Welcome back. I want you to take a look at the front page of the New Hampshire union leader. It’s big news for New Jersey governor Chris Christie. He has secured perhaps the most important newspaper endorsement in the Republican primary season. The question now, will that endorsement give Christie, who has been struggling in low single digits in the polls, the momentum to launch a real challenge in the granite state nationally? Joining me is the publisher of the New Hampshire “Union leader” and the writer of that editorial, Joe Mcquaid. The panel is also here. So, Joe, Chris Christie. First of all, tell us how you started — you cut the field to get to the point where you decided to pick Chris Christie? He was among a group of how many you were seriously considering for the endorsement. 
>> I think we were really looking just at the governors. I think after the experience of the past eight years, freshman senators without a lot of experience are not good. 
>> So you punished Cruz and Rubio for having the same resume as Barack Obama? 
>> Yes, punishment is kind of a harsh word from the “Union leader.” 
>> Fair enough. 
>> Disparage, things of that nature. So it was the governors and walker didn’t last long enough to really be under consideration. I’m not sure why governor Perry didn’t get any traction but it was left with kasich, bush, and Christie and from that, myself and my editorial writer, some people that I respect in the community, we looked and Christie is the guy who can take the fight to trump, Hillary, ISIS.
