Gov. Christie: “I’m not going to worry about politics anymore, everybody. This is it."

At least, that is what he said at a recent town hall.

Christie, who once led the pack in the nascent race to be the GOP’s presidential nominee in 2016, noted that it’s his last term as governor. “I’m not going to worry about politics anymore, everybody. This is it. I’m on the back nine,” he insisted. “When you’re on the back nine and you don’t have to worry about playing another front nine, your only obligation is to tell people the truth.”

He may not run for President, but he will be worried about politics (along with some criminal investigations) until the end

That's a classic!

Props to Christie for resurrecting one of the great fake "end of politics" lines of all time!
