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. Trumps behalf. Tapped to lead Mr. Trumps 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.

(7,768 posts)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?

(22,037 posts)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.

(14,337 posts)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.
