TRENTON -- Gov. Chris Christie will not be named chairman of the Republican National Committee as President-elect Donald Trump assumes the White House, two sources with knowledge of the situation confirmed to NJ Advance Media on Thursday morning.

Christie had been lobbying for the position over the last week, but he and Trump came to the decision mutually, said the sources, who requested anonymity to discuss the scenario candidly.

One source close to Christie said Trump's team is continuing to talk to the New Jersey governor, a longtime Trump friend and adviser, about various other positions in the incoming administration.

But, the source noted, Christie wants to serve out his second and final term as governor -- which ends Jan. 18, 2018.

Perhaps something will happen so Christie doesn't NEED to fill out his term as Governor?

1. He's moving closer and closer to running the inaugural valet service

Chris, I'm not a fan but, for crying out loud he is dragging you around in public.

2. He could give him a job dishing up cowboy stew at the capital cafeteria.

3. Drumpf will humiliate him whenever he can.

Charlie Brown, meet football. Don't forget, Christie prosecuted Kushner. He will never get over that.

4. Drumpf is busy pulling GOP governors out of office

and tricky Crispy is seeing that, which is why he keeps pushing for RNC chair. If he goes into the administration, he can't be a sitting governor, and would have to resign.

5. He has to get out of NJ

His approval ratings are dismal. He is reviled.

He is a reminder that politics is more fickle than the weather. He was easily reelected three years ago. Today he might not get elected to mayor of his own town (well maybe, it is an affluent republican suburb).
