Go for it don, two assholes are better than one!!!!
Washington (CNN)New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie -- a former Donald Trump rival turned top defender -- is being vetted as a possible running mate for the presumptive Republican nominee, a source confirmed to CNN on Thursday.
Christie has received the official paperwork for the vetting process, according to a source with knowledge of the process.
Trump has said he intends to announce his vice presidential nominee at the Republican National Convention in July in Cleveland.
Though Christie ran against Trump in the GOP primary, the two have been long-time friends and Christie quickly endorsed Trump and became a reliable presence at his events after dropping out of the race. The New Jersey governor has not only been one of Trump's highest-profile surrogates, continually defending him against critics, but also one of his closest behind the scenes advisers, according to sources familiar with the relationship.

He can be Trump's faithful manservant for the next five months.

Christie knows that if Frump is elected, he won't want to have anything to do with the work part of the job. Within a month Christie will be running the show, leaving Frump free to play golf and "judge" beauty contests.
