TRENTON — It is highly unlikely that Gov. Chris Christie will be Donald Trump's running mate, according to two sources who are advising the Trump campaign and who requested to remain anonymous.
Instead, the sources said that former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich is "the likely pick" to be the tycoon's choice for vice president.
The sources, who have been privy to some of the selection process, have insisted on anonymity because they are not authorized to speak for the campaign.
"The people who've been pushing the Christie narrative are Christie people," said one of the sources, who has heard Gingrich is the likely pick. However, "it's Trump — I doubt anyone really fully knows what he's going to do."
As the first among the 2016 field to endorse Trump last February, Christie quickly rose within the Trump inner circle, helping him with debate prep and soon after, being named the

“I mean it was a staged photo op, can’t he even fake concern for others just while the cameras were rolling?”
May be it was not staged. Both fatf**k and Obama are genuinely happy to be together.
Christie is kind of the opposite of Trump. He wouldn’t take on the Ground Zero Mosque, he was soft on amnesty, Muslim judges, wouldn’t take on Obamacare, brought Obamacare to NJ with medicare. I remember he attended a White House dinner for the president of China that even Boehner and McConnell didn’t attend.

And Mark Levin has been pushing Christie so Mark can take little shots at Trump.
Newt would be good.
He really is not liked in PA...he was a traitor to us and he supported a republican who turned democrat ..who has since died...for the life of me I can't recall his name...(been a long day, my grey matter has gone to sleep) but dang I can see him clearly...wink! wink!
REMEMBERED SENATOR SPECTOR...
ANY WAY...I hope it isn't Santorum , but if it is I will still be with Trump all the way...We need him...We don't need another LYING, CROOKED, THEIF OF A CLINTON WHO HAVE A PAPER TRAIL OF DEAD FOLKS FOLLOWING THEM...
WAKE UP AMERICA..PRAY FOR AMERICA.
I’ve been plugging Santorum, who would be good insurance against impeachment in 2017. Santorum shares Trump’s foreign policy and trade views. And he is strongly pro-life, even defended on that by Carly Fiorina in a debate.
Newt would be good impeachment insurance.
The Congress wouldn’t want to make Newt president by impeaching Trump.
I understand your reservations about Santorum, but I think he is far better than Newt or Christie for the slot. At least there will be no Kasich, or will there?
That makes absolutely NO sense at all!
I wanted to stop right there!....lol..but i didn't!...U interested in Ocean front property in Arizona?..i got a deal going with Al Gore....*W*
Yawn. First of all, Santorum is about as exciting as watching paint dry. More importantly, Trump is not your typical politician and will not pick someone because of the state he’s from. Can anyone imagine Santorum as President? He’s an empty suit.
I may bed mistaken, but IIRC Santorum was part of the THE YOUNG TURKS S&M/orgy club that Gary Condit ran; as was KaSICKO, Morn ing Joe, and several others..
bed = BE
of the three discussed here, I think Newt would add the most to the ticket (and almost certainly be helpful with Congress). I always liked Santorum quite a bit and would be happy with him if he’s DT’s choice. I do not care for Christie and would hope DT chooses someone else. I also think Christie would subtract a lot of possible support from the ticket, frankly. Just my opinion. Obviously perhaps, I will vote for DT almost no matter who he picks, we HAVE to stop Hillary from sinking the ship of state (pun intended) that Obama has so gravely wounded.
he’s also a damned SQUISH and lost his last re-election bid, so how “good” is he?
Adding Newtie makes Hillary president.
“My rationale for Santorum”
Santorum is a member of our corrupt, depraved political class. That he was ever elected to anything shows that there are skeletons in his closet, over which he can be blackmailed.
See my post #32 !
Gee, ya think? More non news.
But I don't care for Santorum, he is just a professional politician. and I realize that is what Trump is looking for, to share their knowledge, but Rick is BORING...VERY BORING. HOPEFULLY HE WILL CHOSE SESSIONS.
THANK GOODNESS THE MESS IN DALLAS HAVE COME TO A CLOSE AND THE KILLERS CAPTURED..
PRAYERS FOR THE LOST OFFICERS AND THEIR FAMILIES...
NITE ALL..
