Failed GOP presidential candidates New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and Senator Ted Cruz say they’ll continue supporting Donald Trump despite his brags about sexually assaulting women.
Christie appeared on WFAN’s Boomer and Carton radio program on Tuesday morning hosted by radio jock Craig Carton and former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason and spoke out about the vulgar Trump tapes but says he is still supporting him.
Said Christie, via Mediaite:
Christie react to Trump's video: "It is completely indefensible. I won't defend it."

"I do think he's sorry," Christie says, was there when Trump found out about video. But Christie says Trump's apology could have been better

"I'm still supporting Donald," Christie says. "I'm really upset about what I heard, but in the end this election is about bigger issues."

"I don't think it's immaterial," Christie says, but it's not the only thing Trump should be judged on.

"On the debate, I think he did much better than he did on the first one and I think she did worse," Christie says.

"Who knows," Christie says about if there are any other damning videos of Trump out there.

"The rank and file people do support him," Christie says. Can Trump still win? "Well, sure," gov responds. (Pretty tepid.)

Christie says, again says he was "made really uncomfortable w/ that video," but says it can't be the only thing Trump is judged on.

Meanwhile, Ted Cruz told a local Texas TV station that he’s still with the Donald, Politico reports:
“I am supporting the Republican nominee because I think Hillary Clinton is an absolute disaster. Now my differences with Donald, I have articulated at great length during the campaign. And I tried all my might,” Cruz told Maggan Rennels of Channel 6. “It was an amazing journey.”
Rennels followed up by asking Cruz about whether he’d run for president again. Cruz didn’t rule it out: “We’ll see what the future holds.” He’s also up for reelection in 2018.
…”This is an election unlike any other, but I tell you Hillary Clinton I think is manifestly unfit to be president. The policies she’s advancing are the continuation of eight years of Barack Obama,” Cruz said after giving a brief review of Leal’s Mexican Restaurant and posing for pictures with employees. “We need to have a president, we need to have leaders in Washington that will fight to defend our jobs, to get government off our back and to defend the Constitution and Bill of Rights to keep us safe.”
