“Christie has been loyal since the primaries. I believe President Trump will remember that.”
yeah, all the Christie haters here forget that Christie was one of the first on the Trump Train, even taking out Rubio for Trump in one of the last debates in which Christie was still putatively opposing Trump.
Two of Christie’s subordinates were just convicted. Christie is also, shall we say, weak on 2A. And, finally, that Obama hug in 2012, fair or not, enough of the base credits that debacle for Obama’s victory in 2012.
Whether real or perceived, Christie has too much baggage, and Trump cannot risk any kind of distraction at this critical time.
Rubio helped Trump across the finish line in Florida. Christie did diddly squat for Trump in New Jersey. Everyone knows he’s baggage and is a divisive figure on the team. By the time the top cabinet is formed he’ll be on the lower rung of the ladder or back in New Jersey.
