NY Post


New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) is telling friends and staff he is taking a role with the Trump administration, the New York Post reports.

“The GOP governor’s position has not been worked out, but he would not replace ­Reince Preibus as the president’s chief-of-staff, the source said.”

1. Chief, Infrastructure Department Bureau of Bridges and Gates

10. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

I'm betting Communications Director

[NurseJackie]

23. Perfect!!

[BumRushDaShow]

2. So is he going to resign his seat as governor?

I believe if he did, the (relatively newly created position of) Lt. Governor (she is another R) would take over.

[no_hypocrisy]

4. That would give Kim Guadagno a leg-up on the republican primary

for governor this year, if not the election in November, as an incumbent.


However, be advised that Christie is subject to a criminal trial re Bridgegate as of this week. He's still damaged goods to the Trump Administration.


The moral of the story: if the Presidents says you're getting the meatloaf, then that's what you're eating.

[BumRushDaShow]

5. Yup although the Dems have Phil Murphy lined up

(and he seems to be the strongest of the lot). And with respect to Bridgegate, for some idiotic reason, he continues to be able to weasel out of it every time so at this point, I am not holding my breath.

[flamingdem]

15. Let's hope Trump punks him again

[tetedur]

17. Will Trump pardon him for Bridgegate? n/t

[Nedsdag]

18. Really?

Did someone tell Jared about this?

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

19. I have to admit that I don't hate Christie

When push came to shove after Hurricane Sandy he put the people first. I am hoping that he would also put America first and provide a much needed contrast to Bannon's crazy. That doesn't mean I'm a fan of his...only that I would rather have him advising Trump than Bannon.

[babylonsister]

22. He did??

Christie Allegedly Diverted Millions In Hurricane Sandy Relief Funds To Pay For TV Ads Starring Himself

Lawrence O'Donnell says Chris Christie steered $6 million in Sandy funds to New Jersey area that had 'no damage' from storm

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

34. Yes, he did

Republicans in congress were not doing their job with relief funding and got all butt hurt when he met with Obama about the storm. He spoke up very vocally about that.

As an Independent I don't just blindly hate all politicians on the other side. I know that he stood up against his own party when it was the right thing to do on that issue and I'm going to acknowledge that. I would also much rather see him advising Trump than Bannon. Still don't hate him. Not a fan but don't hate him...and he's a million times better than Bannon.

40. While I Admire Your Willingness To Give Credit......

in a bipartisan manner, I have to say you're wrong in your assessment of Mr. Christie. The only thing he did in the aftermath of Sandy was to do his job-nothing more. The disaster relief funds were coming to the state whether or not he met with President Obama. He was the governor at the time, he (we) needed the assistance of the federal government and it was the duty of the governor to ask for that help. Don't make him out to be some kind of hero for doing the basics of his job. What he did after the federal money arrived is more of a crime than almost anything else he did. His mishandling of Sandy recovery is a disaster that will be paid for by future generations. I could put an entire essay here detailing his mismanagement, both purposeful and negligent, that should call shame down upon him for eternity. He wasted billions of dollars and the opportunity of a lifetime to make our state less vulnerable to future storm damage and the ravages of climate change.

Check out his record: Christie Crime Digest Volume 1, Volume II, Volume III and Volume IV, and trust me, he is not a nice person and has been a terrible governor.

[fishwax]

Busboy in the WH kitchen? Gofer to KFC?

[louis-t]

32. Don't buy it, Chris!

You'll get there and he will give the office he promised you to someone else.
He'll tell his staff to ignore you and pretend you are invisible.
He'll invite you to lunch and then leave a room service tray with a slice of meatloaf outside the oval office door.
When you text him, his alert will be a pig squealing.
When will you learn?
