Bets being taken: Will he or won't he? - samintx - 07-15-2016

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—Governor Chris Christie, of New Jersey, angrily refused to pick up Donald Trump’s dry cleaning during a tense encounter between the two men on Friday, campaign sources confirm.

The ugly scene unfolded at the billionaire’s offices in midtown Manhattan, shortly after Trump revealed that his Vice-Presidential pick would be Governor Mike Pence of Indiana.

According to Trump aides, Christie stomped into the presumptive Republican nominee’s office and hurled a dry-cleaning ticket onto his desk, telling Trump, “You can pick up your own damn dry cleaning.”

The New Jersey governor then stormed out, and has not been seen by Trump or his staffers since.

Trump’s press secretary, Hope Hicks, warned the media against making too much of the apparent rift between the billionaire and Christie. “In the long hours of a campaign, emotions can sometimes get a little raw,” she said. “We are confident that Governor Christie will pick up Mr. Trump’s dry cleaning going forward.” (Hello, errand boy) added by SAM.

Reached later by reporters, Governor Christie issued a brief statement: “Get away from me. Just get away from me, you bastards.”

Gotta think that Christie is PISSED OFF. VP MUST have been part of the deal to get Christie to be the first nat'l figure to support Trump. His career is OVER.

Really? I think he always knew you could not put two people from NY/NJ on one ticket. Isn't that fairly clear to everyone?

Christie is in this to be AG, which he does actually have some experience doing.

edit: well, perhaps Christie really did believe that he somehow was VP material but all of the analyses when he jumped on board pretty much negated a tri-state ticket. Perhaps he wanted just to be considered, but AG would be a much better fit for him (not that I am advocating it).
