With the news that the vice presidential slot may be filled and not by Republican Chris Christie, the New Jersey governor explained what his reaction will be if Donald Trump rolls out Indiana Gov. Mike Pence.
'I mean, obviously, I'm a competitive person,' Christie told MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace, a Republican analyst for the network. 'So I'm not going to say it won't bother me, if I'm not selected. Of course it bothers you a little bit. 'Cause if you're a competitive person, like I am, and you're used to winning, like I am – again, you don't like coming in second, ever.'
While Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, won't official roll out his vice presidential pick until tomorrow in New York, Roll Call and then other outlets reported that the conservative Indiana governor was it. 'No matter what phone call he makes to me today – I will take a deep breath and prepare for tomorrow,' Christie said.

He will always be first....in line at Chick-Fil-A.
Absolutely! He knows where all the bodies are buried and if he's AG, most of the Democrats in the NJ and NY state legislatures will need to move to New Zealand, with Ginsburg!
What? Pretty sure Tina Turner is still alive....
Is this from the Onion? What is it with these guys? (Newt and Christie) I don’t ever remember VP candidates so vocal about getting the job. Just scratching my head...
Blame NY journalism. It was the headline in either the Post or Daily News announcing Ike’s demise.
Running as VP is coming in second.
Trump is most definitely going to win.
Christie got buttsexed by Obie ... Good riddance to fat boi...
You really should just go somewhere else.
You obviously do not belong here
Well said Pinkbell. I totally agree with you about Chris. That said, I was hoping Sessions or West would be VP.
Just keep telling yourself you were as high as second.
Christie? #headshake
Christie is a gun grabber. That sucks. I’m all for turning the Holder/Lynch AG entrenched, inside out. Gut the department, totally reorganize. Screw the rules about firing people.
Indeed, may it be so.
Gut ALL the departments AND agencies. Fire most of the bureaucRATs. Close most departments and the EPA.
Yes, indeed.
As I have been saying for years, it is TIME to DownSize DC! Close entire Rogue/Unconstitutional Departments, including their SWAT Teams.
It is time to force Congress to telecommute most of the year from their home district, under the thumb of the electorate.
The constitution states that Congress shall meet at least 1 time per year and specifies the time for meeting. (has been changed) It DOES NOT specify how long they should meet.
The state of TX Legislature meets every 2 years, unless the Governor calls for a special session. There is not reason for Congress to be in DC most of the year.
Every state has plenty of super-sized bureaucRATic infrastructure, they can probably handle about any social issue on their own.
There is no need for the millions of overpaid/underworked (if they work at all) parasites in DC.
If there were to be any “revenue sharing” I’m sure each “sector” of the public trough could be handled by a couple of employees in an office somewhere, following the directives of the Legislative and Executive branches. (they have fancy computers now doncha know.)
Ska-rew the unfunded liabilities of their bennies and pensions. Trump can tell them all:
YOU’RE FIRED!
