GREGORY: Do you think Newt Gingrich will embarrass the party?
CHRISTIE: I think Newt Gingrich has embarrassed the party over time. Whether he’ll do again in the future, I don’t know. But Gov. Romney never has.
GREGORY: You say he has embarrassed the party. How, and where do you worry he might do it again, that makes him unelectable?
CHRISTIE: David, we all know the record. I mean, he was run out of the speakership of his own party. He was fined $300,000 for ethics violations. This is a guy that has had a very difficult political career at times and it has been an embarrassment to the party. You remember those times because you were here. So the fact of the matter is, I don’t need to regale the country with that entire list again, except to say this — I am not saying he will do it again in the future, but sometimes the past is prologue.
