New York Times: Once considered the Republican Partys best hope to win the White House, Mr. Christie has endured months of humiliation after he dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Mr. Trump who mocked him as they campaigned together for eating too many Oreos, and passed him over as the vice-presidential nominee. Now, Mr. Christie has returned to New Jersey a lame duck in his last year to discover voters angry over his absences and a Legislature suddenly unwilling to go along with his agenda.
Mr. Christie still believes he has a political future nationally. He wants to write a book and his friends have been telling people in New Jersey that the governor expects Mr. Trump to eventually come around to him. According to their scenario, the White House management team of Jared Kushner, Stephen K. Bannon and Reince Priebus will be a disaster and Mr. Christie will be tapped as the skilled manager, like David Gergen, the former aide to Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan who swooped in to steady Bill Clintons administration after a raucous first year.

(82,849 posts)4. Why shouldn't Christie still think he has a political future?
I've seen Newt Gingrich and Tom DeLay (to name just two people who could drop off the face of the earth tomorrow) weighing in on the national political scene. Christie has been humiliated, but he hasn't been beaten at the ballot box. I don't like him, but I'm sure the man can still work a room and yell at women. What more does he need to be able to do to be a Republican?
