Governor Christie supported Trump way back when and he took a lot of heat for it from virtually all of New Jersey.
CC is tough as nails and has prevailed governing a state with arguably the most corrupt Democratic politicians in the country.
Why Rudy won’t come on board I can’t say. But whatever mission the President gives Christie, he’ll get the job done.
I shuddered at him cuddling Obummer, too. But he did back Donald all the way in the Presidential race. He’s a tough nut and I think DJT can use him.
Back in the early 80s I had a boss who had worked in new jersey tell me...”NJ is the armpit of America”. ..he hated the place...something about the dirty stuff he had to deal with.
I believe the lobby ban was enough to keep Rudy and Newt away, otherwise they would be in the admin.
