US Prez poll 2016: Chris Christie slammed on Facebook for endorsing Trump

Washington, Feb 27: New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, a former presidential candidate in this election year, on Friday endorsed Republican front-runner Donald Trump, inviting wrath on social networking site like Facebook.

Christie, through his endorsement of Trump, became one of the first establishment Republicans to do so and his act has left many in the party, who were distressed by the real-estate tycoon's campaign methods and policy plans.

In a news conference in Texas, the New Jersey governor said there was no one better than Trump to strongly lead the US both at home and abroad. Trump himself was perhaps also surprised by this news as he said: "Wow, this is really important."

Christie's endorsement was followed by that of Maine Governor Paul LePage, who said: "I was Donald Trump before Donald Trump became popular. So I think I should support him since we're one of the same cloth," a CNN report said.

However, though the endoresement will certainly boost Trump's campaign ahead of the crucial Super Tuesday pimaries on March 1, sharp reactions were seen on Facebook in reply to the news posted by the New York Times.
