Now, Mr Christie will need to take the current front-runner down a peg and then position himself as the one who can win.

The former governor's task will be to use his sharp tongue and aggressive attitude to achieve similar success against Mr Trump.

Outside of the debates, Mr Christie's plan hinges on courting voters in New Hampshire, the state that follows Iowa on the Republican presidential primary calendar.
