Chris Christie has had his differences with Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, but he says he would support Paul if the libertarian-leaning senator won the Republican presidential nomination.

Christie made the statement during a discussion with Megyn Kelly on Fox News’ “The Kelly File” Monday night.

Kelly asked Christie to name the three candidates he thought were the best potential 2016 Republican contenders, to which the New Jersey governor quickly spat off former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Wisconsin House Rep. Paul Ryan as “really good” candidates for president.

“Rand Paul?” Kelly interjected.

After taking a moment to consider the question with an “um,” Christie said he thought Paul “would be a credible candidate for president.”

Rand Paul wouldn't make a good president. He's a legislator; he can do more there.

Christie is more of a leader and I think would be legit.

You bounce back from the Bridge scandal. He's a Republican governor in NJ.

Legit.

It wasn't like he was asked to comment specifically on Rand Paul. Christie included Paul's name among the best choices. He could have easily excluded his name if he had reservations about Paul.

He included Paul Ryan, not Rand Paul.

He was specifically asked about Rand.

Fail.

Gaining momentum in 2016 discussions. Glad he was included in the question.

Not sure, if I'm Rand Paul, I'm overly excited about this. I can guarantee Christie won't be giving the Keynote Address in 2016 after making his 2012 keynote mostly praising ---- Chris Christie.

The Rand Paul supporters should be encouraging Christie to hang in there and run, thus diluting the Bush/Rubio/Ryan primary vote.

It's no secret they have a disdain for each other, and they are basically in an open campaign why would you expect him to endorse his rival?

Even though the entire context of the show is pretty repulsive to me, I can not help but admire his will, diligence, and cunning.
