1. Getting Mexico to pay for the border wall.

Stephanopoulos played a video clip from the campaign trail in which Christie questioned how Trump would get Mexico to build the border wall.

“I tell everybody who goes to a Donald Trump event, if he gets asked a question, just ask him how,” Christie said at the time. “First, he says he's going to build a wall across the entire border between the United States and Mexico. How? How is he going to make the Mexicans pay for the wall? How? They are a sovereign nation.”

Christie said he now believes Trump is capable of convincing Mexico to do it, and that Trump has enough time before the election to “answer” how he would accomplish that goal.

"You know, George, this is a February -- this is February of a campaign," he said.

seen as a star-to-be. By luck and aggression, mostly. But he was in a pretty good position not all that long ago.

Not anymore.

I'm still happily stunned by Trump's shooing Christie away after the endorsement. "Go home. The plane's over there."
