Former President Donald Trump is considering skipping the 2024 GOP primary debates – not because he has a huge lead and doesn’t need them, but because he’s terrified that his opponents will shred him, according to former top confidant Chris Christie.
“I’m sorry to see that Donald Trump feels like if he gets on the stage, he’s at risk of losing his lead,” Christie said on conservative Hugh Hewitt’s radio program.
“If, in fact, his ideas are so great, if his leadership is so outstanding, then his lead will only increase if he gets on the stage, not decrease. But obviously, he’s afraid,” Christie said. “He’s afraid to get on the stage against people who are serious. And I’m sorry to see that he’s that afraid of it.”
“All he wants to do is go back and re-prosecute the 2020 election because his feelings are hurt. He’s a child in that regard,” Christie continued.
Christie added that “people should wonder why” Trump doesn’t want to debate and that the former president does not have “a lot of serious answers” to give to voters about the problems facing the country. Therefore, the easy way out is to simply skip them.
Christie, who is considering launching his own bid for the presidency, told Hewitt that he will make his decision in the next two weeks.

who writes your headlines?
he should be fired immediately
christie is ‘unhinged’ because he gives a very sober assessment of that coward trump? all bullies are cowards – that’s a fact
shame on you for posting this kind of headline
He made a good point. If you think you have all the solutions to all the problems, then go ahead. In case trump all you got is childish responses and he’s def affraid because he’s aware of his wrongdoings.
THE DEBATES ARE BIASED AGAINST TRUMP. VERY SIMPLE WHY HE DOESNT WANT.
Look at the chaos Trump is responsible for, did you ever try to make an assessment of the consequences on our health, our economy and global security, because of his actions?!
Christie was never a TOP Trump “confidente”…..he spent several months in later 2016 as “head of transition planning” and prepared dozens of binders of hiring recommendations and executive ordrers which Trump totally ignored and may still be sitting in some GSA warehouse in Souteast Washington D.C. used every four years for the incoming administration’s transition team gathering dust
All other candidates are midgets compared to President Trump, so no point to even share a stage with them.
Really?! Trump has no plan for the problems of the country, really…
Is Christie an antisemitic conspiracy theorist who claimed that China intentionally leaked a virus (which killed millions of their own people, and tanked their and the world’s economy) just to get back at his tariff policies?
