I think it's a great switch

So do I. Pence was 100% loyal as VP candidate, even when the coup attempt that would've benefitted him was afoot. He's been in the HOR; Christie hasn't been inside DC politics. Add to that, Trump's a realist and a true patriot. It seems that Trump might be setting up a structure that Pence is very comfortable with. It doesn't matter how healthy Trump is. That's the prudent thing to do when a 70-year old is taking on the responsibility of being President for four years.

He’s a gun grabber and should be marginalized.

“Chris Christie is a real asset among great assets. But where to put him?”

Where to put Christie? Gov of DEMOCRATIC New Jersey...keep him the hell away from Trump and DC. Arm and arm walking with Obama on the beach?...Never could be trusted. A closet RINO. This is why he is OUT.

Makes sense as Pence is no longer campaigning and is the VP-Elect.

Bridgegate was the best thing to ever happen to Conservatives.

Pence now being in charge of the transition shows me that conservatives have won the initial power struggle within Trump world.

Christie is also against marijuana legalization. I don’t use marijuana, but that train has left the station and it will anger many people, including conservatives.

Even before Bridgegate I was disgusted with Christie, that photo op of him walking arm in arm with 0bama on Point Pleasant Beach after super storm Sandy. As if they were recreating the final scene from Beach Blanket Bingo where Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon make out on the beach. All that was missing was the mermaid flopping around in the ocean. YECCCHHH

Praise God. Mike Pence is a godly man. Praying for the Holy Spirit to guide this transition. All human beings are imperfect. Every worldly policy is imperfect and our new leaders will not be able to please 100% of their supporters all the time. Compromises will be made. All kinds of deals. This nation must put on a united front. Credit is due to the Democrats and establishment R’s who at least act gracious.

May God give discernment to Mike Pence. And protect each and every member of Trump’s family and cabinet and any person who threatens them be exposed and brought to justice before any harm can be done.

” But where to put him?”

A trash compacter?/sarc

Christy creame is a anti-gun liberal puke, just like Ghouliani.

Transition team needed to get bigger now that they KNOW there will BE a transition!

And I think it’s GREAT that Trump will take advantage of his VP, since he picked such a competent one. Would be ridiculous to try to turn Pence into a wallflower, and I can guarantee you that Trump had no VP-level staffers in his business that were purely ornamental.

So, putting your VP to work in a meaningful manner is yet ANOTHER break with “tradition” from Trump. We will be seeing many more “traditions” tossed into the trash bin of history.

Wow, I’m amazed at how many people seem to have forgotten what a traitor Christie has been.

He deserves NOTHING.

He pardoned the woman from Philly who accidentally brought her gun into NJ; he is NOT a gun-grabber.

"He pardoned the woman from Philly who accidentally brought her gun into NJ; he is NOT a gun-grabber."

I know it's New Jersey, but compared to the Democrat alternatives, he's been a *great* governor.

I hope Trump keeps him on. Maybe as press secretary -- that would annoy the heck out of the MSM!
