\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, I\u2019m sitting here thinking about Chris Christie. This is another one of these things that won\u2019t go away. They\u2019re making fun of the guy. They\u2019re literally destroying the guy. And I\u2019m sure that Christie, when he endorsed Trump<\/a>, I think he probably thought it was gonna be heralded, you know, a great move, courageous move. Here\u2019s an establishment guy and a former chairman or president, whatever they call it, Republican Governors Association. And instead he\u2019s standing behind Trump last night on the stage not knowing how to do it.<\/p>\n

I mean, he\u2019s not a guy that stands on the stage. He commands the stage. He was ordered to stand on the stage behind Trump for a long time. What do you do with your eyes? Do you dart back and forth, do you smile, do you not smile, do you react to Trump, or do you look like a security guard scanning the area for problems. What do you do? There aren\u2019t any lessons for this. So the media there, everybody\u2019s tweeting pictures, Christie being held hostage in a hostage video or whatever else they\u2019re saying.<\/p>\n


\nYou know, it just reminded me of something, a life lesson essentially. When you try to elevate yourself by association, it generally doesn\u2019t work. When somebody, because of their own achievements or whatever, is basking in a very warm glow of hot light, there\u2019s a lot of people that want to stand next to the person so they can be seen in the light. But they really haven\u2019t done anything to be there.<\/p>\n

I\u2019s like all these sycophants who want to hang around the Kardashians or it\u2019s like all these sycophants that want to hang around the celebrity of the moment, or the hot politician. You can make book, you can find these people, I call these suck-up hangers-on. That\u2019s not what Christie was doing. He\u2019s actually looking forward to a political career. He\u2019s term limited in New Jersey, he\u2019s finished when this term is over. His effort to become president with the Republican nominee failed, so hitch your wagon to the guy that\u2019s going somewhere, maybe be attorney general or vice president or what have you.<\/p>\n
