Christie officially being vetted as Trump's VP

[WI_DEM]

Gov. Chris Christie (R) is being vetted as a possible running mate for the presumptive Republican nominee, a source confirmed to CNN.

Christie has received the official paperwork for the vetting process.

New York Times: “Already, Mr. Christie has begun the task of designing a government on Mr. Trump’s behalf. Tapped to lead Mr. Trump’s transition efforts, Mr. Christie has taken a role that some of his allies liken to that of a White House chief of staff, soliciting views on what a potential Trump administration should look like.”

Great! Instead of losing NJ by 30-points, Trump would lose it by 40-points with Christie.

1. He found a job as a lap dog! Good for you Chris!

2. They must mean Trump's fetcher and punching bag. Trump doesn't do VP n/t

3. That would be a smart choice for Trump.

They would be culturally compatible.

4. oh my goodness...

two candidates with enough garbage between them to fill up a state like NJ

5. He'd be VP in charge of fetching laundry and lunch

6. Mitt Romney vetted Governor Christie in 2012

I've always wondered what they found that scared them off.

10. That's what I immediately thought too!

I wonder if Dump's "vetters" are as competent as Romney's? But then, when only a few lunatic losers actually want to hitch their wagon to the narcissistic idiot, he can't be too picky, can he?

12. Mitt Romney had a real campaign

Donald Trump's campaign is a shambles. He has a ridiculously disorganized and diminutive organizational structure. His financing is deplorable. His message management is incohesive. Most importantly, he's spent the past year alienating much of the Republican infrastructure, otherwise known as the GOP Establishment. With so much chaos, this isn't a serious endeavor.

With all of that amateurism, I'm confident that Mr. Trump's team looking into Governor Christie have no idea what they are supposed to do. By contrast, Governor Romney had built a national organization, raised money, wooed important Party personnel and understood the intensity of the process. He had experienced advisors who knew how to investigate-to-discover information about potential running mates.

It's been said that if a betrothed couple can make it through their engagement, they have a fairly good chance of succeeding at marriage. Similarly, how a candidate runs their campaign demonstrates their potential ability to run the country. By that measure, Donald Trump is woefully way out of his league.

He's also an idiot.

7. Trump's go for guy

Hey Christie, get me some gum. Hey Christie, tip the boy. Hey Christie, make me some lunch. Yes Sir, Yes Sir, Yes Sir.

8. Trump just conceded

New Jersey to Clinton.

No one. I mean - no one - likes Christie here!

[Ken Burch]

18. Or, he know he's going to lose and wants to give Christie the blame for it.

Because, of course, nothing can ever be Trump's own fault.

9. HOOOG!

[Orsino]

11. Well, if a lot of complicated governmenting needs doing, find some flunky to do it.

And get me a sandwich while you're out.

They are preparing the meanest, dumbest Administration ever, and that's saying a lot.

[Happyhippychick]

13. Excellent choice! I think he should definitely pick him.

[brooklynite]

14. Maybe he sees Christie as a "BRIDGE" to the establishment wing of the Party...

[Maru Kitteh]

20. Look at you with your puns!

[Doctor Jack]

15. His 22% approval rating might actually be a boost to Trump's own numbers

[Ken Burch]

17. ...they'll have him wormed and fixed...?

[louis-t]

19. He makes Drumpf look thin?

[Maru Kitteh]

21. smart, good-looking, ethical?

[Yavin4]

22. Wouldn't that be too much male sexual energy for America to take at once? n/t

[Warren DeMontague]

23. Yesssss, master

[Adrahil]

24. Christie has always been such a bully....

... that it is hilariously predictable how easy it was a for an even bigger bully to subjugate him. I mean, really... the man has no dignity left.... please Trump... pick that sack of shit!

[John Poet]

25. Another bigmouth--- seems like a natural fit

for the Trump ticket.

The bridge is out.

[HockeyMom]

26. Kuddos to the Jersey Tpke Reststops

for taking down those pix of Christie when you walk in the doors. Sorry but when you stop at 3 AM to take a bathroom break, his smiling face is the last thing you want to see.

[Mike Nelson]

27. Trump...

...should just pick. Vetting is stupid because Trump would not pass anyone's vetting.

[rusty fender]

28. Doesn't the world already know everything

there is to know about Gov. Chrispy Cream?

[matt819]

29. Being vetted?

Why? Trump himself hasn't been vetted.

[NastyRiffraff]

30. Tweedledee and Tweedledum

This time for real. Is this a BRIDGE too far, at last?
