New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has remained silent since Republican nominee Donald Trump chose Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as his running mate, North Jersey.com reports.

Victory for moxie. Christie gives us reason to wonder if he had chutzpah. Mistake to think he can endorse Trump. Politics are bad bedfellows but playing footsie with your political opponent to get his nod sometimes has bad toes.
History is kingly to the third degree.
Shoot!
My, how the mighty have fallen. This is a important lesson. Chaniffa will NEVER get you anywhere In life. If only Matzav learnt that lesson!
Christie will get a very serious post in Trump administration. Christie will do all he can for Trump. He will be the attorney general of the USA. That’s a pretty good gig. The media loves knocking anything on the TRUMP train.
