I thought Christie would be a good choice as well.
Trump said he wanted someone political, and someone who could take over. I know he admires Christie for being a fighter.
I realize there are issues with Christie regarding 2nd amendment and the big O hug, but I think that Christie will see things Trump’s way. I think the bravery of Trump and the subsequent admiration of his strength will embolden Christie to join Trump’s thinking rather than walk the politically correct line.
FWIW, Laura Ingraham thinks Christie would be good as well.
Christie couldn’t even carry his own State.
