Christie says he has no plans to resign, defends support of Trump

“So no, I wasn’t being held hostage”. “If I disagree with him, I try to convince him otherwise”, Christie said.

Christie also said he was not being held “hostage”, as some on the Internet have joked, and chided those who played “armchair psychologists” and analyzed the way he looked. “I understand everybody had a lot of fun with it. It doesn’t matter to me”.

He challenged a widely reported perception that New Jersey’s newspapers have called on him to resign: “I don’t want to agree to the premise of a question that is dramatic but factually incorrect”.

“It really looked like heartbreak and kind of a bitter pill that he was swallowing”, she said.

Christie, who ended his own Republican presidential campaign last month, said he will continue helping Trump’s campaign but doesn’t have any more appearances scheduled. Christie adds that his wedding anniversary is next week, he needs a vacation and he has a state budget due in June. Christie told reporters in Trenton, New Jersey. The Star-Ledger, which endorsed Christie in his 2013 re-election campaign, said in an editorial Thursday that he has since made it clear that governing the state is a “distant second priority” that comes behind his personal ambition.

He insisted that there’s no deal for him to become Trump’s running mate, but said that as Trump’s “highest level endorser”, the millionaire candidate will have “to hear my points of view”.

If Trump fails to win the November general election, and Christie’s political gamble doesn’t pay off, his career will be at an end. Marco Rubio and vouching for Trump and his family. When asked if by the editorial board if that meant she would vote for Democratic front runner Hillary Clinton, she replied, “Or a third party candidate”. I am not a full-time surrogate for Donald Trump.

If there’s one lesson America should learn from this never-ending, thrill-a-minute, laugh-a-minute, sob-a-minute 2016 primary season, it’s this: Never go full Chris Christie.

‘It will not change the extraordinary respect that I have for Gov. Romney’.

Christie, defending his choice of Trump, said he has no current plans to campaign for Trump again, but is sure he will in the future.

At his own press conference in New Jersey on Thursday, Christie issued a lengthy rebuttal to his critics. Or were you just watching an entirely different press conference beamed in from Planet Voltron?

There also was The Donald factor. Christie appeared less than jubilant at Trump’s victory rally. “I’m gonna come to work and do my job, and I’m gonna do it hard”. “That was not the day for politics and to talk about my political career”. “(Trump) was answering questions from the national press corps and I was listening”. A new poll conducted by Morning Consult reveals the majority of Americans polled would love to see Ben Carson as Trump’s VP pick.
