Well, it's not like Christie released his emails, cell phone, etc...

As an aside, is it true that Christie offered to be the first lady in light of Melania's controversy?

Are you serious right now? Have you listened when Trump talks of Christie? Do you listen when Trump gives stump speeches with Christie on stage? Trump flat out told the guy to go home on a hot mic and constantly belittles the guy in speeches. Trump used him and that's it. He doesn't come close to respecting the guy.

Even some of Christie's closest allies struggled to understand what his fierce loyalty toward Trump ? even as Trump seemed to treat Christie as a sort of affable fall guy ? was about. The only conclusion anyone arrived at was that Christie has pushed all his chips into the center of the table on a bet that being Trump's staunchest defender would be rewarded when it came time to picking a vice president.

That bet wound up being a big loser. And Christie is just now coming to terms with the fact that he has flushed his political career down the toilet for, well, not much.


I almost feel bad for Christie. Pretty pathetic. Let's just hope he keeps himself busy with the transition team.

Trump doesn't respect Christie. Trump will not put a person he has no respect for in any sort of visible position.

By Paul Mulshine | The Star Ledger
on July 15, 2016 at 6:28 AM, updated July 15, 2016 at 9:48 AM

If timing is everything, then the timing of David Samson's plea deal couldn't have been worse for Chris Christie.

They're the closest of cronies. So the news that the former chairman of the Port Authority was pleading guilty Thursday to strong-arming United Airlines could not have been good for a governor hoping to get the Republican vice-presidential nomination.

Then came the reports that Donald Trump would be choosing as his veep not Christie but Indiana Gov. Mike Pence.

If it all goes as expected, Christie can look to his role in scandals related to his administration - most prominently, Bridgegate - as a prime cause.

The trials of his two former staffers are scheduled to start in September, right in the heart of the campaign. Both have good reason to lay the blame for that bridge?closing on the insatiable ambition of their boss.

But even without Bridgegate, Christie was a bad fit for the Donald.

Though Trump's considered an unconventional candidate, the race is shaping up in a very conventional manner. The red states are leaning Republican and the blue states are leaning Democratic.

That means that, like the 2012 race, this one is likely to be decided in a dozen or so swing states, many of which are in the Heartland.

Midwestern voters might tolerate one fast-talking East Coaster. But it's hard to see them supporting a ticket made up of two candidates who were both born within 10 miles of Times Square.

A lot of people say geography doesn't matter. Tell that to Al Gore.

In 2000, if Gore had picked anyone from Florida as his running mate, he would have become our 43rd president. Instead he picked Joe Lieberman, who locked down that crucial Connecticut vote that Gore already had ? and little else.

Another advantage Pence had over Christie stems from Trump's problems with the conservative wing of the party.

New Jersey's most rabid right-winger, former Bogota Mayor Steve Lonegan, is leading a dump-Trump movement aimed at freeing the delegates from their pledges so they can support a more conservative candidate.

That was unlikely to succeed. But Trump couldn't have been happy about the prospect of entering a convention with the conservative base still angry over his dismantling of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in the primaries.

The choice of the reliably conservative Pence should put an end to that threat. He supported Cruz in the Indiana primary and switched to Trump only after the Donald became the clear winner.

The 57-year-old Pence is such a good fit for the 70-year-old Trump that I suspect the Donald's biggest problem was convincing him to run. He's also up for re-election as governor, with the filing deadline set for Friday.

He might have been nervous about risking his job back in the weeks when many leading Republicans were predicting a Hillary Clinton landslide. But recent polls show Trump trailing Clinton by just a few points - even though Hillary's been spending millions on attack ads.

Trump has had trouble raising money of his own, but the naming of Pence can't hurt, said Larry Bathgate of Bay Head, who was campaign finance chairman for Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush,

"What putting Pence on the ticket means is that it's a responsible choice," said Bathgate, who is friends with Pence.

But Bathgate said he would counsel his friend to get ready for a media blitz. There are perils in choosing a newcomer to national politics, as the examples of Dan Quayle in 1988 and Sarah Palin in 2008 showed.

"The problem with selecting one of these people who has never been vetted by the national press is that the national spotlight is so bright compared to anything else," Bathgate said.

That's what happened in 1988 when George H.W. Bush picked another Indiana pol, Dan Quayle, as this running mate.

But when I ran that by Pat Murray of the Monmouth University Poll, he said Pence is much more likely to skirt bad publicity than Christie and the other failed contender, Newt Gingrich.

"Pence is not going to upstage him, which is something Gingrich and Christie would have done," said Murray. "Chris Christie would bring attention to himself, and not all of it good."

That won't be a problem with Pence, he said.

"Pence offers gravitas and governing experience in the statehouse and the capital -

and no drama," he said.

As for Bathgate, he said Christie is still well-positioned to get a top spot in a Trump administration. As the head of Donald's transition team, he'd likely have his pick of top jobs in the new administration, he said.

Bathgate, who is not the governor's biggest fan, said that's yet another reason for Jersey Republicans to hope for a Trump victory.

"It's a way to get him out of New Jersey," he said.

PLUS- SUPPOSE SAMSON SINGS: So far there's no indication that David Samson is spilling his guts to the feds in exchange for a possible lighter sentence.

But if he did then he would have a lot to say about Christie's role in Bridgegate.

Read this column of mine in which I cite an overlooked quote from Christie's infamous press conference of December 2013.

That was the one in which he pronounced himself "sauced" to find out that Fort Lee had three "dedicated lanes" - which he later admitted he knew all along.

Here's the key quote:

"But I do believe, and I told Chairman Samson this, that we should look at this. One lane maybe. Three lanes? I don't quite get it. I read something in one of the stories that this was host community relations. I mean what's gonna happen if they get a little bit upset? Are they gonna move the bridge?"

Just when did Christie tell Samson "this"?" And just what did he tell him?

Whatever it is, it has to contradict everything Christie has said about Bridgegate since.

And then there's the announcement of charges against another Christie crony, Jamie Fox. Fox, who was Christie's transportation commissioner, was working as a lobbyist for United Airlines at the time of the Samson deal and has been charged with conspiracy for allegedly setting it up.

I wonder what he has to say about the governor?

I suspect we'll find out.

Cleveland
New Jersey governor Chris Christie was reportedly enraged he didn't earn the VP spot, according to a top Trump campaign official.

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.

Christie has made no secret that he was disappointed he wasn't chosen to be Donald Trump's running mate. "I don't like coming in second. Ever," Christie said Thursday. But the conversation overheard by THE WEEKLY STANDARD Sunday suggests Christie's feelings were far more intense than mere disappointment.

-This may explain Trump's last minute effort to reverse the Pence pick. Christie didn't take it well.

If Christie had anything to do with it and used a cell phone to contact Baroni and Kelly they'd have their own records on their phones. Let's not forget, Christie isn't a defendant in this case. His cell phone has no bearing on this, as the Federal judge ruled.

So the lawyers that represented the state gave the phone to Christie's attorney. He could've thought it was destroyed, or wiped clean. With a cloth!

People in mainstream America should be scared that Trump could win (in theory although it is highly unlikely). I once laughed at his candidacy, but I'm not laughing any more. Underestimating him would be a mistake.

Oh please don't compare that orange haired creep to Bloomberg. Bloomberg actually created things of value. Trump, other than the original Trump towers, has created nothing. His greatest asset is the Trump brand, which is rapidly depreciating as an asset. No wonder why he won't release his tax returns.


Hilarious you could muster fauxrage about Trump's tax returns when Crooked Hillary made tens of millions of dollars in "speaking fees," aka thinly disguised bribes, and has refused to release any of the transcripts from her Wall Street speeches.

I'm saying that it is unlikely.


I do agree with you that the path to victory will be narrow, but the fact that so many states could be in play is a scenario that many/most Dems never even considered, assuming that a Trump candidacy was a long shot and, even once that became clearly a reality, they just assumed he would be too unpalatable to the general electorate. All of a sudden, they are waking up to the reality that this is not going to be a slam dunk. And, according to NBC, Trump and Hillary are now statistically tied. All signs point to a swing states turf war, and that will get interesting, and nasty.


Yes, I fully concede that my expectation of this being slam dunk has turned out to be incorrect, but I also agree with you that Trump's path to victory is narrow (I would say extremely narrow.)

If Obama's approval rating had been lower, I would have assessed a higher chance for Trump, but it is at his highest since 2012.

And he has not even begun to campaign for Hilary. She will have a very popular former president and a soon-to-be former president campaigning for her. And I firmly believe Sanders will too.

So I think that while Trump will solidify support of his base by going further and further to right, he won't gain new support from undecided voters.

But of course, I don't have a crystal ball to predict the future. So I may turn out to be wrong. To me, Trump's victory means the end of democracy in America, so me turning out to be wrong in comparison seems trivial.
