Rubio Angered Christie With Patronizing Voicemail

The New York Times over the weekend ran a lengthy piece about the GOP's "desperate mission to stop Donald Trump" and the party's inability to unite behind a non-Trump candidate. Chris Christie, of course, made that task more difficult with his surprise endorsement of Trump, and the story explains that a phone call from Marco Rubio to Christie didn't help matters. It seems that after Christie dropped from the race, Rubio left a voicemail seeking the New Jersey governor's support and, in the words of the Times, "assuring him that he had a bright future in public service." The 53-year-old Christie found the tone patronizing, especially from a "44-year-old," and soon offered his support to Trump, who had been reaching out with calls of his own. Click for the full story.
