What was he thinking, and why did he look, as some joked, like he was the captive in a [hostage situation](http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/03/01/chris-christie-donald-trump-rally/81187404/ "undefined")? The oddness of the moment was captured in perfectly bizarre fashion in this absurd Vine that zooms in on Christie’s disturbed face with “Frolic,” the theme song from _Curb Your Enthusiasm_, playing in the background. The mood, the camerawork and the soundtrack all come together to perfectly capture this circus-like election season. He may have dropped out of the race, but Chris Christie won the Internet this Super Tuesday. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4244464/chris-christie-vine-super-tuesday-trump/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4244464/chris-christie-vine-super-tuesday-trump/"},"headline":"This Vine of Chris Christie Is the Real Winner of Super Tuesday","datePublished":"2016-03-02T14:30:37.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:30:38.841Z","description":"You need the volume for this one","url":"https://time.com/4244464/chris-christie-vine-super-tuesday-trump/","keywords":["Newsfeed","2016 Election topic","politics"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sarah Begley","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sarah-begley/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4244464/chris-christie-vine-super-tuesday-trump/","name":"This Vine of Chris Christie Is the Real Winner of Super Tuesday"}}]}] ```
