Donald Trump’s 9 p.m. press conference finally got underway about 9:30, and the rumored endorsement by Florida Gov. Rick Scott didn’t materialize. Trump supporters weren’t cheated out of a governor, though, as New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who recently endorsed Trump, introduced him as the next president of the United States.
As it turns out, Trump’s press conference didn’t feature any announcements; instead, it was simply his replacement for a victory speech. And aside from that brief introduction, Christie stayed out of the spotlight, looking like a vice president — a nervous vice president.

I never thought I'd feel pity for a bully, but seeing @ChrisChristie emasculated by @realDonaldTrump
is pathetic.— Paul Begala (@PaulBegala) March 2, 2016

Christie's eyes are darting off to the side of the stage.
Is he looking for a getaway car?
