Chris Christie’s doing something no other candidate’s dared do: Tackle the Donald head-on.

It’s unorthodox. But routine political thinking isn’t working too well against Trump. So, who knows, unorthodox might work. Imagine Christie and Trump in a debate both throwing punches – it’d be worth watching just to see which one blinks.

It may turn out the candidate to whip a bare-knuckled New York street kid is a bare-knuckled New Jersey street kid.
