    I also look forward to Palin’s potential spot in the White House staff.

    Um, Gawker, I took the Government Elections and Policy class at Trump University and this is exactly how it works.

    FYI: The current headline reads as if Christie sent his own son’s father-in-law to prison, not Trump’s. May want to tweak that.

      It’s an awkward disaster of a headline no matter what.

    You know what our modern society sorely lacks? Original campaign songs. Back in the day, a snappy jingle was critical to defining your brand. When did we lose sight of this?

    Worth noting (as long as it’s been brought up): the sons-in-law of both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have fathers who have gone to prison.

      Having been in prison is cachet when you’re that rich. It gives them something to talk about at cocktail parties. People like you and me? Not so much.

    Does anyone else get the feeling that Trump is pulling a Mean-Girls-like stunt on Christie by pretending to be his friend but just continually putting him in uncomfortable situations to punish him?

      Definitely, and the repetition is a major part of it.

      Bully’s gonna bully, but the “victim” here had only to never join the Trump campaign. That was all he had to do: Nothing.

      Christie is the eagerly participating masochist in this scenario. He stands there on stage, with Trump (who makes fun of him) and next to Ivanka and Jared Kushner (who, no doubt hate him). And all for what? That cabinet position that will never come? Pathetic man.

    Weirdly enough, I had an inside scoop as all of this went down back in 2004 — two of Kushner’s biggest supporters had teenaged daughters who both wrote Harry Potter fanfic and had Livejournals where they’d post random shit about this too.

    Did you know that Charles Kushner was also enmeshed with enabling Jim McGreevey’s gay affair while Governor of NJ? I did, as a high schooler!

      God, I can’t believe I still remember this shit!

      Okay, so. Golan Cipel, Jim McGreeveys’ lover, aka, “national security advisor” whose only credentials were “served in the Israeli Navy for a few years”... guess who sponsored his work visa/had hired him before the Guv’nor?

    Good thing they are starting early on this. I’m sure thanks to Christie everyone involved will be delayed intentionally, and then will claim no knowledge of it.

      Another of Christie's triumphant successes! Just like how he saved Atlantic City with the Revel Casino, his tenure here has been a trail leading from triumph to triumph.

    Doesn’t Christie already have a full time job? I guess he’s been looking for a new excuse to ignore the people who elected him to govern.

      Speaking for the good people of the State of NJ, we would prefer Chris spends the rest of his term out of state.

    Who has a transition team in May? This effer is a real piece of work—and it’s going to make his spectacular failure even more fun to watch. It’s not 1980, the demographics and the map have changed big time and it’s even unfavorable to Republican candidates who aren’t odious and universally hated.

      Remember all the shocked faces at Fox when Romney lost? It’s gonna be like that but 1 million times better because Trump himself has been bragging that he’ll win by a huge margin.

      I hope it turns out that way. I do have to say Trump seems to have even less people that like him—and the demographics have changed a lot in even the past four years.
