Prior to announcing Gov. Mike Pence as his running mate, presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump had narrowed the VP field down to the Indiana governor, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, and Gov. Chris Christie.
While Gingrich seems to have been a good sport about Trump’s ultimate decision to go with Pence, according to the Weekly Standard, Christie was “livid.”
While minding my own business at the Starbucks inside the Westin hotel this morning, I saw a man engage Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort in conversation about the VP selection process. The man, whom I couldn't identify, suggested that Pence was a smart pick and Gingrich would've been a disaster.
"Christie was livid, right?" the man said at one point. "Yeah," Manafort replied.
In an interview with MSNBC on Thursday, Christie did say he would be upset if he didn’t end up getting picked.
"I mean, obviously, I'm a competitive person. 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," the governor told Nicolle Wallace.
Fat boy hugged quota boy.
Sorry, fat boy, you lose.
In other news Krispy Kreme shares and Dominoes shares skyrocketed.
Isn’t that Lyin’ Ted Cruz, not Krispy Kreame?
With a RINO at the top of the ticket, we need a conservative as Veep. I also don’t think the NY-NJ Axis of Dysfunction is a good platform for building a national coalition.
Lois Lerner just giggles at your ideas.
Unattributed hearsay / gossip.
I always thought he was up for AG.
I agree. I don’t believe this. Two outspoken East Coast men would not have been a good choice.
Since Christie was named head of the Trump transition team over 2 months ago, I think he’s already a team player.
“Oh baloney...this is media crap...Christie was never part of the V.P. selection, he, Sessions and Carson were on the search and vetting for Trump’s V.P.; remember when Trump went to Pence’s home in Indiana in the primaries, who went with him....right, Christie... I think Christie is going to be A.G. This media crap is for the birds...to bad that they have so many people ‘brain washed’ that’s why I don’t listen to them... “
yep. total enemedia agiprop. it’s just one more not-quite-subtle anti-trump meme after another with the enemedia. first it was the “great revolt” of the GOP delegates they pounded on for weeks, which turned out to be nothing more than an entire dozen of dumbasses, and after that non-story turned out to be a non-story (which most of us here knew all along), the enemedia pretended for a couple more days afterwards that it “wasn’t over”.
And now since Pence is too much of a non-enity to find anything good to dig into that will stick, they’re gonna pretend the “losers” are pissed.
Christie’s gonna make one helluva AG and have FAR more influence on the FedGov than he ever would as VP.
Trump fans beware. The media is in divide-n-conquer mode. They will exaggerate differences in the pro-Trump coalition to split it. The last thing Trump fans should do is be unwitting dupes of the media.
Correct. Fatboy needs to shut his trap and stay in Nazi Jersey where he belongs.
probably a fairy tale...
Thanks, spintreebob! I will be using your remark when our concerned Trolls post one of their really concerned posts about push polls posing as real polls or wet dreams of lefty mediots like this one posing as news.
the old media is LIVID the republican convention is looking to be interesting and Hillary are going to be a snoozefest. (she might as well have the cast of the nu-ghostbusters on stage with her)
Maybe he can request another obummer beach walk.
Evidence: He felt Mitt Romney wasn't sufficiently nice to him so he torpedoed his candidacy by embracing Obama and telling every one what a strong leader he was in a crisis. Also his punishing his political enemies by shutting down the GW bridge (I don't care who fell on their swords, political flunkies don't take in on themselves to do stuff like that)
round peg meet round hole......CC for AG......
Pick one.
