Christie defends Trump endorsement, says he's 'back to work' in N.J.

Source: NJ.com

TRENTON — Amid a flurry of calls for his resignation, Gov. Chris Christie emphasized Thursday that he is not a "full-time surrogate" for Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump and is focused on his duties in New Jersey three weeks after ending his own bid for the White House.

In his second Statehouse news conference of the week, Christie defended his controversial endorsement of Trump but insisted that he isn't scheduled to live life on the road campaigning for the billionaire businessman and former Atlantic City casino mogul.

"I am here," Christie said. "I am back to work."

with a full plate !



Let me make this perfectly blunt-,
Ask me no questions and I will tell you no lies. I have no intentions of becoming Donald Trump's road dog. But if I do, I will not, I repeat will not be strapped up on top of one of Donald's campaign vehicles in a dogie travel container. I am here to work and even if I'm not here ,I always carry my phone with me. In the words of my x friend G.W. Bush , a lot gets done over the phone !

you ended your run for President? Is he "in no way qualified" or "totally qualified" and how did you come to this conclusion?
